This Week From Frequent Miler
Amex gift cards: Is the deal done? – The recent changes to portal terms have really taken much of the value out of this deal.
470,000 points after $48K spend – A recent round of applications will net a huge sum of points, but will also require a healthy amount of spend as well!
Yes, shared ThankYou points can be transferred to miles – About ThankYou points transfers and how they can possibly be used for a higher value when transferred to someone else’s account.
My wife scored another 70,000 points. I got a rock. – Two more great retention offers from Citi on ThankYou cards.
Sears nixes portal rewards on gift cards. There may be hope yet. – Sears has changed the terms on many portals to exclude gift cards, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the end.
Have a great evening!

Haven’t had a “Congratulations, your extra Cashback Bonus is on the way” email since Oct 9th.
The statement that closed on Oct was supposed to get over $1000 (Adding up the cashback notification email in that statement period) in cashback but ended up being $35.xx. Looks like Discover changed their terms. My Sep statement cashback was over $1000 as well.
