We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    1.   4 and 5-Star Hotels Under $50 for a Limited Time

    Here’s a hotel promotion that could seriously be worth switching your hotel stays for!

    Hotwire.com is having a sale on 4 and 5 star hotels in major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and more!  When you book by by June 28, 2018, you can reserve rooms for $49 per night!

    That’s an incredible deal, and in some cases means a discount of $200+ per night!

    Hotwire Won’t Tell You Which Hotel You’ll Get Until You Book

    There are things you need to know about this deal:

    When I clicked on San Francisco, Hotwire told me that the last person who booked the $49 rate is staying at Hotel Zelos San Francisco.  It was selling for $250 on the same night.

    If you have upcoming travel to any of these cities, it’s worth a look to see if there are hotels on sale in the area you want to stay.  If so, you should cancel any hotels you booked with points and save them for a more expensive trip later!

    Note:   When you book through an online travel agency, you won’t earn points or elite night credits at the hotel, and your elite status won’t be recognized.

    3.   10% Off Sale Items at Whole Foods With Amazon Prime

    Amazon Prime members nationwide will now get extra discounts when they shop at Whole Foods!

    If You Shop Often at Whole Foods, an Amazon Prime Membership Could Pay for Itself

    There are 2 ways to get these discounts:

    4.   Starbucks Gold Status With a Single Purchase

    Today only, June 26, 2018, you can earn Starbucks Gold Status after you make a single purchase.  That’s an excellent deal, because it usually requires ~$150 in spending at Starbucks to earn Gold Status.
