Elite Status That Just Doesn’t Go Away, Great TopCashBack Bonus, A Big Bonus Drop, & More

Welcome back to another new week! Things are finally getting back to normal a bit for me so expect more regular posting going forward (including putting this summary back on Sunday evening!).

In the running world, it was a pretty great week with Boston Marathon taking place this past Monday and the London Marathon yesterday. If you want to run one of these major marathons, hopefully you realize by now that the cost of travel does not have to be a limiting factor!

Miles, Points, & Travel

• Find Elite Status That Just Doesn’t Go Away & If You Have It Already! – Elite status can be very helpful when traveling. Fortunately, there are some elite status levels that just seem to hang around for a long time – even when you do not qualify! Find out how to find if you still have elite status and how you could get that status in the first place.
•  Act Fast! $25 Back On $100+ At Staples With Amex Offer – While this offer is now gone for those that did not save it, this is a pretty great offer! I have already used some of mine to grab some eBay gift cards – 25% off anything on eBay I buy with those cards! If you got this offer, you can buy a host of different gift cards, including some available as electronic gift cards (except for Staples e-gift cards).
