TL;DR: Slide gives 4% back at specific brands on top of credit card rewards! It looks like the mechanism is mostly buying gift cards through them to use at different brands. Brands I see that I’d use often are Uber, UberEats, Doordash, Chipotle. There are hundreds of different brands to browse. It’s certainly a nice boost on top of credit card cashback.

TL;DR: Previously I’ve mentioned some alternatives to the Uber Card. US Bank recently came out with the Altitude Go card as a great alternative. In June of this year, US Bank came out with a much needed Altitude Go card to fill the void the Uber card left when it nerfed its perks. Details: 4x points on Restaurants (Dining, takeout, delivery) (i.e. 4% back) 20000 points ($200) bonus after spending $1000 in the first 90 days 2x on Grocery, Gas Stations, Streaming services, 1x on everything else $15 subscription credit annually (after you pay for 11 months for some subscription, you get $15 credit for the 12th month) No annual…

TL;DR: Ibotta has stopped giving 5% back on UberEats. But Drop continues to give 4% back. If you’re like me and you’ve been using UberEats to get by during this time, this is helpful! Happy Eats’ing, TheJKW

TL;DR: Butter offers 1% back on subscriptions. It’s up to you if it’s worth it. How much do you spend on subscriptions? Butter has a service to aggregate all your subscriptions (which include things like Netflix and Amazon Prime) and if you link your credit card, they’ll offer you 1% back on top of your credit card rewards. This service was originally offered in Canada and has expanded to USA. They say they use this data to advertise other subscriptions to you that you may be interested in. I, for one, will say this is my threshold for how cheaply I’ll sell my data – all I have is Amazon…

TL;DR: It’s worth using but don’t expect miracles. So Honey is this app that’ll run coupon codes/promotions automatically whenever you’re about to make a purchase. The point is that it can find discounts for you without you having to scour the internet. I’ve had the Honey extension installed for a couple years and I’ve saved maybe around $50 total (as a guess). Honey coming up with promos/discounts I could actually use is infrequent enough that I’m not super excited about it. I also still end up scouring the internet for promos and occasionally find things Honey misses. However, it is totally passive so I keep it. It has somewhat recently…

TL;DR: Samsung pay is currently offering $50 Doordash gift cards for $45. Not bad for a delivery service that you may need during this pandemic! You can of course stack this with a credit card too – you’ll be getting your credit card cash back as well as some nominal Samsung points (though those are worth virtually 0 now). This significantly lowers the cost of using Doordash, especially if you have a Dashpass, and/or you’re new to Doordash and you get $5 off your first 3 orders as well. Happy Doordash’ing! TheJKW

TL;DR: Ibotta is offering 5% back on UberEats orders It’s not bad at a time like this to keep your food game up while supporting local restaurants. You just have to click through Ibotta to get to the UberEats app for the 5%, and you’ll be able to earn the cash back on your Ibotta account. They’ve got other offers on there, but I gotta be honest – I’m looking into naiceee using it a bit more often but it’s not exactly passive. You can sign up here and use code “wrfhulp” to start with a $10 bonus! Happy Ibotta’ing, TheJKW

TL;DR: For at least the next 4 days, Drop is currently offering 700 pts per $1 spent on Uber rides. Ok, so Drop has been sucking a little lately because of how they keep raising the minimum requirements for gift card cash outs. Currently the minimum is $75 for cash outs, unless you buy through one of their deals then the minimum is lowered to $25. This is much worse than the previous minimum of $5. Yikes. However, this offer seems too good to ignore – you can get 700 points per $1 spent on Ubers through their “boosted” deal. In the current environment, it’s super helpful to have the…

TL;DR: Supercharge your rewards with an Empyr-backed app, which stacks with the Rewards Network and a credit card. Empyr powers a number of different rewards programs for restaurants and other activities – and all you have to do is link a card and activate your offers. My favorites are Payce and Mogl. (Specifically for me the 5% back at AMC/CVS on Payce, and the offers for restaurants at Mogl). Because these offers are for different categories, I attach different credit cards to take advantage of both – you can only link one credit card to one Empyr program. Because Dosh recently moved off the Empyr network, you could get both…

TL;DR: Stack more rewards on top of your credit card with a Rewards Network partner If you’ve read my posts from over a year ago, you’d know I once recommended Idine, which gives 5-10% in credit in certain restaurants around your area. It’s pretty passive, and still comes recommended. However, Idine is part of a much bigger network of programs called the Rewards Network. There’s a lot of different programs (you can only hook up each of your cards to one of them). To note, almost every major airline/hotel has a program with these guys. Recently I’ve noticed that Idine credits are slow to accumulate and can easily expire year…
