Wells Fargo's $400 Checking Bonus Expires Today
Wells Fargo is offering a $400 checking bonus for new customers, and today is the last day to open the account. You need a $25 minimum deposit to start, then $1,000 in qualifying direct deposits within 90 days to earn the bonus. Standard bank bonus rules apply: new customers only, real direct deposits from employers or benefits, not transfers between your own accounts. If you're eligible and can hit the direct deposit requirement, $400 for moving paychecks is easy money.

Office Depot Mastercard Gift Card Promo Returns: $6 Per 3-Card Buy
Office Depot and OfficeMax are running their predictable Mastercard gift card promotion again: spend $300 or more and get $15 off instantly through July 11th, with a limit of 10 per household (though individual stores may set their own caps). The math nets you about $6 in profit per 3-card purchase after fees, plus whatever rewards your card earns. This is decent if you're already set up for light manufactured spending.

Intro fares start at $39, but you need to book by July 12 for travel between August 3 and September 2.

Westin Bora Bora Overwater Villas at 79K Marriott Points—Beat Average Rate
The Westin Bora Bora has overwater villas bookable at 79,000 Marriott points per night on select dates, down from cash rates around $1,060. That's better than 1.2 cents per point in a category where average redemptions run 0.94 cents. Current transfer bonuses from Amex and Citi make it even cheaper if you're willing to move points over, making this the redemption if you've been eyeing French Polynesia and have Marriott points to burn.

Breeze Airways Flash Sale: One-Way Flights as Low as $30
Breeze Airways has a sale with one-way flights starting at $30, and some routes price out even cheaper than the advertised $35 floor. Book by July 9 for travel valid August 18 through September 30. It's Breeze, so expect bare-bones fares and fees for anything beyond a personal item, but these prices hold up if the route works and you pack light.
