Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is almost done! The last two weeks Greg, Nick, and Stephen competed to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines. But who completed the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
Welcome to our weekly list of what’s ending this week as well as a collection of some other deals that are due to end soon.
This week, several airlines are offering shopping bonuses for back-to-school shopping season. While most end next Sunday, remember that the Alaska shopping portal bonus ends today.
Also ending this week is a fuel point promo that’s good on Visa and Mastercard Gift Cards at Kroger and a chance to score 15% off on Hotels.com gift cards, which can be further parlayed into discounts and savings via Hotels.com promotions and Welcome Rewards.
In case you missed it: The ability to buy $1,000 Visa gift cards at Simon Malls has been extended to 8/31/19. Usually gift cards are capped at $500 each.
Below you’ll find this week’s Last Chance Deals. Those are followed by deals that Won’t Last Long and Other Limited-time Offers. Deals in bold were posted this week. You can find all the deals that won’t be ending soon on our Current Deals resource.
