So this time I can’t tell you what to buy… maybe a Ninja blender… maybe some cordless phones.. maybe find something worthwhile with stacking some coupons or something. These are small singles, not scalable… but can peck away at a card balance..

Look, you are locking in 8x plus something… maybe 4x, maybe you get lucky and find something while its still 8x

Oh, United also has Staples gift cards for 6x bonus
Maybe that’s the ticket…
