Last Chance Deals |

Expiring Wednesday, April 12th

Expiring Saturday, April 15th
- $25 cash back after $50 hotel stay at Booking.com: Check around to be sure that you are getting the best price, but this deal may be great — particularly for an inexpensive last-minute booking. Booking must be made by April 15th to qualify. Note that the $25 “reward” is credited back to your credit card, so this really is $25 back on the hotel booking. (Expires 4/15/17)
- CONFIRMED: More 5X – $15 rebate on $300 in Visa Gift Cards coming to Office Depot/Office Max on Sunday: We have confirmed that this deal will be live in store starting today. While it will be scheduled to end on Saturday, we don’t know if it will be pulled early like last week’s deal. Limit 1 per transaction, 1 transaction per person.
Expires Sunday, April 16th
- Get $300 Bonus with Chase Premier Checking: Not the highest-ever bonus on opening a Chase account, but the fact that this one can be done online will appeal to those who do not live near a brand. (Expires 4/16/17)
Won’t Last Long |
- Business Class Virgin Atlantic San Francisco to Manchester from $1994 round trip: There are now fares from about $2000-$2050 on airlines in both SkyTeam and Star Alliance.
- Buy today and fly away: Airfares still alive in Business Class and Economy: I still see all of these fares available. The $291 round trip fare from New York to Barcelona on Aer Lingus is excellent. The fact that the TAP Portugal business class fare sale is both still available and quite widely available is also surprising.
Other Limited-Time Offers |
Sign-up Bonuses
