Amazon Early Black Friday
Amazon is starting Black Friday a bit early with their Countdown to Black Friday Deals Week. They will be running deals all week starting today. If you are looking for a Kindle those are on sale along with a number of other items that may interest you. Check it all out here.
Tons of Amex Offers
This morning I covered today’s two blockbuster Amex Offers, but several others surfaced as well:
- ExxonMobil – $5 credit with a $30+ purchase at the pump. Details and terms here.
- Hilton – $50 credit with a $250+ purchase on a room. Details and terms here.
- Carter’s & OshKosh B’gosh – $5 credit with a $25+ purchase. Details and terms here.
- Sur La Table – $10 credit with a $50+ purchase. Details and terms here.
- Long Horn Steakhouse & Family Brands – $10 credit with a $50+ purchase. Details and terms here.
All of the above offers are available to the public and can be loaded via Twitter. You can find all of the terms along with the necessary Twitter hashtag by clicking each offer’s specific link above.
Great Portal Payouts + Bonus
Yesterday I covered three great holiday portal bonus promotions going on right now. Among the portals that have bonuses are United MileagePlus Shopping and American AAdvantage eShopping. Today when doing some searches I noticed that both of these portals have increased payout rates at some stores. These payouts would be in addition to the holiday bonus.
AAdvantage eShopping:
- Neiman Marcus – 10X miles per dollar
- Backcountry – 12X miles per dollar
- JCPenney 10X miles per dollar
- Macy’s – 10X miles per dollar
MileagePlus Shopping:
- Lancome – 15X miles per dollar.
It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on these payout rates and then jump on the increases to combine them with the holiday bonuses!
$40 off $300 Hotels.com
The Offer: Pay with PayPal and get $40 off a booking of $300 or more at Hotels.com with the code PAYPAL40.
Analysis: There are a lot of terms, but they are fairly typical. In most cases you can get $40 off a $300 booking, so it is worth looking. Don’t forget to use a portal to save even more!
Companion Pass Giveaway
While I don’t normally cover giveaways from other sites, I know many of you will be interested in this one. The Points Guy is giving away 20 Southwest Companion Passes this week via social media. You can find the details here. I sincerely hope one of my readers wins!
eBay Gift Cards & eBay Bucks Promo
eBay has a few gift cards on sale today including Cabela’s, Celebrity Cruises and Hotels.com. Unfortunately gift cards no longer earn eBay Bucks, but on a side note, many people have been targeted for 8% in eBay Bucks. If there is merchandise you have been waiting to buy, now may be the time.
JetBlue Fare Sale
JetBlue is holding a fare sale with one-way fares as low as $34. Here is what you need to know:
- Fares include government taxes and fees.
- Book by November 2, 2016 (the earlier of 11:59 PM ET or local time).

Shawn —
Thanks for the notification re Lancome and United Shopping. I took advantage of the 20 miles/$ recent offer.
Just wanted to remind all that there is an AMEX offer giving you a $15 statement credit if you spend more than $75.00 on a targeted AMEX card.
Thanks for the reminder and I’m glad you were able to take advantage of the portal offer!
Do you get portal bonuses even if you pay by Paypal?
I don’t think it is excluded, but I have never personally tried at Hotels.com. (I have with many other merchants) You enter via the portal and then pay and return. I can’t guarantee it will work, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to try.
