Last Chance Deals: Unleash the alchemist, rebates on awards & gift cards, free Amazon music and more

Welcome to our weekly list of what’s ending this week as well as a collection of some of the best ongoing deals around.

If you’re looking to unleash your inner alchemist, today is your last chance to buy Choice points at a bonus. Don’t forget to claim your free credit towards Amazon Music Unlimited by Tuesday. I’ve already maxed out the Best Buy gift card deal, but you’ll want to check that out before Saturday if you haven’t already. In addition to those deals and others expiring this week, we posted a very good deal last night about buying IHG points on the cheap — see more in the won’t last long section below.  Read on for all that and more.

Without further ado, here are this week’s Last Chance Deals. Those are followed by deals that Won’t Last Long and our Other Limited-time Offers. Deals in bold were posted this week.

Expires today

• Easier point alchemy via Choice (buy United miles for 1.1 to 1.3 cents each)

Expires Tuesday, November 14th

• Free Amazon Music Unlimited with Citi card ($30 credit must be claimed by 11/14/17)
• Up to 25% back on JetBlue redemption: This promotion looks great. Anyone can get 15% of redeemed points back. Credit card holders get an additional 10%. See the post for more details.

Expires Saturday, November 18th

• Best Buy Gift Card bonus: Buy $150, get $15 savings code

• FTU Expo (free entry and free swag) and the FTU Signature manufactured spend corner: I don’t know whether or not there are any free entries left, but the discount codes should still work — though I imagine they will be cut off at some point in the coming days as the event is coming up next weekend. Events like this helped me build and expand my knowledge of points & miles, and it’s always great to network with other enthusiasts. We hope to see you there — and if you see us, come say hi.
• Buy IHG points under .49 cents per point!: This one does have an end date of November 29th,  but I wanted to highlight it here because it is an excellent opportunity to buy points at a rate that could be very favorable if you have a decent redemption lined up.
