Last Chance Deals: Oodles of Ultimate Rewards, money back on gifts, transfer bonuses, 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.

This week, the most notable deal ending is 10x at Walmart.com using Chase Pay. That offer is good on up to $325 in purchases per card — if you have a Freedom, a Freedom Unlimited, and a Sapphire Preferred/Reserve, you could be looking at just shy of 10K Ultimate Rewards if you were to max out the promo on each card, which could be a nice return on holiday shopping. Speaking of holiday shopping, the $20 off of $50 or more offer at the 1800Flowers brands provides a decent discount that ends this week (and I may put it to use a couple more times). Finally, don’t forget to use your free travel credits before the end of the month — see our post in “won’t last long” for the info you need to maximize your benefits. All that and more below.

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.
