Meijer's 10,000-Point Mastercard Gift Card Offer Nets $10 Rebate
Meijer is offering 10,000 mPerks points when you buy a $100 Mastercard gift card through 7/28, limited to one per account. That's a $10 rebate if you use the points at checkout, which covers most of the activation fee. This is one of the better Meijer gift card promos if you were already planning to liquidate or spend on a card that bonuses grocery purchases.

Bank of America Offers $175 Credit to Close Accounts (11.67% Return)
Bank of America is offering $175 statement credits to many cardholders who start the process to close their accounts, even on no annual fee cards. The offer requires $1,500 in spending within 90 days and can be triggered through the mobile app or desktop chat without calling in, which amounts to an 11.67% return on top of whatever the card normally earns.

Air Canada Portland-Hong Kong Roundtrip Drops to $776 With Checked Bag
Air Canada is selling Portland to Hong Kong roundtrip for $776 all-in with a checked bag included, with travel running September through mid-October on Mondays through Thursdays only and requiring 14 days advance booking. This is a strong trans-Pacific roundtrip price with luggage included, but availability is limited and the fare likely won't last more than a couple days.

Qatar Airways Gold Status Exception Unlocks Online Award Bookings in August
Qatar Airways confirmed a narrow exception to its recent award booking restrictions: Gold or Platinum status in Qatar Airways Privilege Club allows cardholders to book for anyone online starting in August (by phone for now), while status with other Oneworld airlines like Alaska or American provides no benefit. The Qatar Airways Privilege Club Infinite Card grants Gold status for the first year at a $499 annual fee with a mediocre welcome bonus, so this carveout barely moves the needle unless you already hold Qatar status or were considering that card anyway.

Capital One Shopping Stacks 15% Back at Dell With Amex Business Platinum
Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers are both running 15% or 15x miles back at Dell today only as the Offer of the Day on Capital One Shopping's homepage. If you have Amex Business Platinum credits to use on Dell, this stacks nicely when you activate through Capital One Shopping and pay with your Amex, since the *Offers* don't always play well with Amex.

🔥 STEAL OF THE DAY
Choice Privileges is selling points at a 40% discount through August 28, 2026, bringing the cost down to 0.62 cents each. This is a solid price if you already have a redemption mapped out and the math works in your favor, though speculative point buying is rarely smart.
