- New Staples Visa gift cards got you down? Try these two weird old tricks by Freequent Flyer. Staples Visa gift cards are some of my favorites because of the fact I can earn 5x Chase UR. I find putting some scotch tape over the magnetic strip works fine for the second issue.
- US Bank Cash Plus Q3 Categories: Any MS Opportunities? by Travel With Grant. I’d much rather 5% cash back on charity than 3x Flexperks, but each to their own. Use Kiva and you should be profitable, just don’t think you’re also doing a great thing for developing countries because the third party lenders charge predatory interest rates.
- Italians, Americans and a Croatian get into a Carshare by Travel is Free. Stories like this is part of why I love travelling, Everything goes wrong, but you get a story to tell and end up in a great new city to explore.

My partner ordered the Flex Perks AMEX for the specific reason of the charity deduction -- as well as it serving as a funding source for SERVE -- because of the charity deduction.
The reason for the choice of the FLEX PERKS over the big fat 5% is that the charity donation is capped at $2,000 per quarter and sometimes one would penetrate that limitation, therefore, the no cap on the FLEXPERKS would seem to fit the bill.
