Recap: Merrill+ Signup Bonus, Gift Cards at Kroger, BBVA Offers & More

  • Awesome Amex Offers and How to get them by Frequentmiler. It’s useful to have an assortment of Amex card types to get targeted with all the various offers. Personally, I’ve found the SPG business card to get the best offers on a whole.

 

 

 

 

 

  • Reader M. got targeted with a coupon from Kroger to get $5 off $50 on Visa or MasterCard gift cards. I don’t see it in my Kroger login; it’s apparently targeted. There are a number of other gift cards deals at Kroger for places like Hotels.com, Gap, Petco and more.

Husband applied for Merrill+ for the first time by phone yesterday. CSR confirmed 50,000 point sign-up bonus. App status went to approved today.

Kroger:
I just ramped up the 4X points last week for the gas points. Polished off two Freedoms now.. I have some 3%+ cards for this. Registered the low value cars like this. use them as payments on Citi or Capital One. Too small; for MOs.

IF new Discover IT card arrives in time, I may use this purchase for the referral bonus.

Any DP’s on churning the Merril+?

In the Reddit thread for the Merril card+, the user bostonguy1122 mentions that he successfully got the card twice (and the CSR confirmed the bonus offer), but he does not say anything about whether he actually received the 2nd bonus:

I am guessing that he will get it, though.

RE: Kroger to get $5 off $50 on Visa or MasterCard

with everything else going on, no reason to get this unless you have niche use for no fee $50 VGC.

I use the fuel points and can always spend down vgc at Kroger for groceries. With that said, with no 4x fuel point deal (yet), that only works out to 100 points = 10c off per gallon = $1.00 off for me.

nice. as mentioned, its niche use. my west coast kroger max is 40 cents. not $1. also GC always hacked. i dont keep it around for org spend. i drain ASAP. but i guess some pple are raping the $50 and $100 w/ $10 off. good for them. its getting too much attn.

I checked my Kroger coupons and was able to find the $5/ off $50 visa GC coupon. It was labeled a “best-customer bonus”. thanks for the heads up!

man, kroger is now listing waaaay too many coupons…. so much fluff, stuff mere mortals will never use — At least they could give us a search tool. Wasted five minutes slogging through the list, no find for this week coupon. something like this should be posted under gift card category — but we know from past experience, that category limitation doesn’t always catch such deals.
