- Success: Chase is Matching the $500 Business Checking Bonus but There’s a Catch! (Also How to Get Your $500 Bonus) by Miles to Memories. We’ve had success with matching before, but good to know they will match this specific offer.
- $20 Off Your First Recharge Hotel Stay Booking (Think: Hyatt Regency San Francisco) by Magic of Miles. This app lets you book rooms by the minute, novel concept but at $40 per hour this is a pass for me. Hotels are really wanting to monetize more of their rooms, more often. That’s why we are seeing apps like this and also apps for day rooms. I think the day room approach has a better chance of succeeding, but we’ll see.
- Introducing the MPD Gift Card tab and other misc news by Miles Per Day. There is a lot of synergy between resellers and people purchasing gift cards at a discount for resell, but I think the aspect of fraud makes this too difficult to actually work as it scales (that’s why all the gift card exchanges are so terrible for the most part). I have a neat idea for an app, so maybe I’ll try and get that developed.
- Uber Offers 50% Off Rides for Copa America Soccer Matches Across US Point Me To The Plane. Nice discount if you’re going to any of these matches.
