Hot magazine buy

Ok, so like I said before, my main points earning strategy is earning bonus points through the Chase Ultimate rewards Mall.  There are a bunch of online retailers there.  The number of bonus points per dollar varies by retailer and those numbers change frequently.  Most offers are between 1 and 3 bonus points.  However, sometimes retailers offer gobs of points to shop their site.  Today Magazine.com was one of those sites.  They are offering a whopping 40 bonus points per dollar spent.  40 POINTS!!!  I can't just pass that up, so I bought a subcription.  I happen to be a fan of those gossip magazines at the check out and regularly spend $3+ a shopping trip to find out all sorts of pointless info on people who really shouldn't matter to me at all.  My subscription cost $33 and my purchase will give me 33 regular points plus 1320 bonus points.  That's a big 1353 points for a $33 spend!  No too shabby!

I also snagged another 20 Hawaiian miles with the tool bar.  I spent 24 at a restaurant.  Did I mention that you get double miles with the Sapphire card at restaurants, so that is 48 points.  Plus I spent I spent another 25 out and about. 

Grand total for the day....... 1446.

Not to bad.

I don't do affiliate links (yet!).  This is a link to find the Chase Sapphire card.  The link takes you to  FrugalTravelGuy.com and the offer is all over his site.  He's my points hero and he'll make a few bucks if you sign up through his site.  In the past three years, I have learned enough from him to earn 16 free airline tickets.  Really, he's a free travel ROCK STAR! You should definitely be reading him if you want to learn to fly free.
