Last Chance Deals: Get the goods more cheaply online

Welcome to our weekly list of what’s ending this week as well as a collection of some of the best ongoing deals around.

This week has a few great offers to save money or get more for less. From $30 off $60 at Amazon to a good use of a Shop Your Way promo ending today, we’ve got the goods so you can get the goods more cheaply. If you’re interested in any of these offers, there’s no time like the present and no telling when some may end. Here are this week’s Last Chance Deals. Those are followed by deals that Won’t Last Long and our Other Limited-time Offers.

Deals in bold were posted this week.

Expiring today

• 30% back with Shop Your Way: This is a great offer when used with stores that don’t often earn much back. Be sure to check the terms for ineligible stores. 
• Stacking Shop Your Way Promo with Amex Offer: This is an example use of the offer above. While some of the example pricing in this post may have changed, the general idea of using two promotions for a nice discount on a watch continues to be a good value.

Expiring Wednesday, July 12th

• RestaurantsPlus ending. Switch to Mogl or SwagBucks?: This one is scheduled to end July 12th, but we are putting it here to give readers one more heads up. 

Expires Saturday, 7/15/17

• $75 Best buy GC for any working laptop: This one has been met with mixed success, but it seems that most readers who have tried have succeeded in receiving a $75 gift card for any working laptop (and some have received a gift card more than once despite the terms saying a limit of 1 per person). I fully intended to do this one today and just ran out of time. There is one more week to take advantage of this great offer. 

• $30 off $60 at Amazon for $0.01 in points: This is a terrific offer if you can get it to work. Unfortunately, not all users can get it to work — but for those who can, use this before it disappears.
• Match to 105K-point IHG Offer: If you have recently applied for the IHG card under an offer worth less than 105K total, you may be able to match it to this excellent offer. This is as good as it gets with IHG, so take advantage while you can.
• Bummer: Big restriction on new rewards program at Office Max/Depot: This one isn’t a deal per se, but it’s an important reminder that third party gift card purchases have big limits with regard to the new rewards program. Or should we say they have small limits? Read on for more.
• $85 back on a $256 hotel booking (more for new users): This deal has no set expiration date, but surely won’t last forever.
• 45K / 18K bonuses on Wyndham Credit Cards: These offers have come and gone, but due to the new partnership with Caesar’s this increased offer may now be of greater interest to some.
• Big discounts on Google Express: The promotional value on this Groupon expires on 8/31/17. I’m surprised this one is still around and functioning. Get it while it lasts!

Sign-up Bonuses

• Bye bye Fairmont card. I hardly knew ya…: Not a signup bonus, but this seemed to fit with the credit card category. As of August 15th, the Fairmont card will be no longer and existing users will be product changed. Read on for more detail. (Expires 8/15/17)
• Up to 50,000 JetBlue TrueBlue points for student loan refinance: There is no set expiration date on this offer, but it is likely to be available for a limited time
• 50K easy American Airlines miles – increased Barclaycard Aviator offer: Another limited-time offer without a clear expiration. With only a single purchase and payment of the annual fee (that is to say no minimum spend amount required), this offer is a great deal. AA really seems to be promoting this offer — it was in the in-flight magazine and on the TV monitors on the plane — leading me to believe that this should be around for at least a month. Still, without knowing for sure I would encourage you to take advantage sooner rather than later if this is of interest.
• 60K American AAdvantage mile offers on both Citibusiness and personal AAdvantage Platinum Select
• Up to 75K United miles with targeted MileagePlus Explorer offer
• Better than Best Offers available for some cards

• Amex Offer: $50 back on $200 at HotelStorm: The terms of this offer imply that it is repeatable, so this could be a good way to save $50 on your hotel stays. Just keep in mind that you will probably not receive any elite credits / benefits / points on 3rd party bookings like this. (Expires 10/12/17)
