Recap: State of Manufactured Spending, Saks Glitches, Walmart-Amazon Price Wars & More

Increase credit card spend (and get most of it back). What still works May 2017? I enjoy reading Frequenmiler’s roundup each month with updates on what’s changed in the MS world. The two things that interested me in the May roundup are that variable-loads aren’t earning Plenti points anymore at Winn Dixie and affiliated stores (hadn’t known they were, but now I know they aren’t), and that BJ’s started carrying $500 smackers. The part about Paypal MyCash is interesting too.

What Did Walmart Learn From Its Nuclear Test Against Amazon Last Week? by Dansdeals. There’s been a recent price war going on between Walmart and Amazon with Walmart offering lower prices for in-store pickup (up to 90% off) and Amazon matching that.
