by PointsGuru | Mar 28, 2017 | Mileage Plan, Virgin America Elevate
Alaska recently offered 10,000 bonus miles to anyone who had both an Alaska Mileage Plan and Virgin America Elevate account, and then linked them. They seem to still be doing that for some and anyone may be able to take advantage of this. If you are not yet a member of the Alaska Mileage Plan they have a fantastic new member bonus going on where you can earn 5,000 bonus Mileage Plan miles.
You just need to enroll here between March 23 and April 30, 2017, and complete an Alaska or Virgin America flight by September 30, 2017.
To qualify, the member must book a ticket eligible for earning Mileage Plan miles, and must credit it to their Mileage Plan account. You can receive the bonus a maximum of one time, and it’s not valid with any other Mileage Plan enrollment bonus.
Alaska has a long list of great airline partners where you can redeem miles for premium cabin travel. 5,000 miles is enough for a one-way ticket covering up to 700 flown miles. This is about $75 or so worth of free miles.

You may be able to keep getting this promotion. I tried this promotion 4 for months back in November and when it ran out this week I clicked on the promotion link again and a pop-up came up telling me that I had already claimed it. Then a window came up that offered me 2 months free and I hit subscribe. I looked over my billing and it did not charge me and extended my subscription for 61 days. So far I have scored 6 free months.

We have been getting clickable coupons for 30% off each Thursday for every weekend. The emails seem to come around 7Am CST for the 30% off coupon that you can apply to your CVS card to use in-store only. This is great for those who travel who have no choice but to buy expensive drug store goods. The 30% off really brings it down to a Walmart price if you ask me.
How do you get in on this weekly 30% Off? You simply sign up for the CVS Extra Care program that is free for anyone. They will then mail you this one important coupon weekly. You then click on it where it says get coupon then it loads it onto your CVS card. So you have no coupon to bring with you because it is digitally loaded on your card and ready to use!
This is my favorite thing about CVS over Walgreens are these weekly 30% off promos to use in-store. There have been times in the past that they change up the coupon to only 20% off or give you a $5 off $30 spend. Either way you can be assured that each Thursday you will have a coupon for Weekend Travel.
Update 2017: It’s been a few months since CVS has sent this coupon we used to get once a month. We finally got one in our inbox today on March 16, 2017. This is a 30% coupon for in-store purchases only good through Sunday, March 19, 2017. Last week they sent out a 10% off coupon which we quickly deleted and awaited the big catch for 30% off!
Now if we can get Walgreens to do the same!

I’ve had a bad week or so after learning that I was denied for the new Chase Sapphire Reserve Card everyone has been going overboard about. This led to be being depressed and applying for 4 other cards in which I got approved for all of them because they are not Chase Nazi’s. Ha!. One of those cards is the Barclaycard Arrival Plus MasterCard which I have had before but it’s been a few years. This card is a Mastercard and gives 2% back on all purchases which leads me to one of the best ways to do manufactured spending right now that The Bluebird Card and other ways are off the table. This would enable me to reach a $3,000 spend in order to qualify for a 40,000 point bonus I get with the travel credit card.
This works wonderful in my situation because I need to do spending anyway and would love to put more money towards my mortgage without paying any fees using my credit card. You have to act fast to do this though. Let me show you how it works below so you can either get in on this promotion or do it when they bring it back.
