Capital One Shopping: 12.5% back at GiftCards.com, but only for today

Capital One Shopping's Top Deal of the Day offers up to 12.5% back in rewards (no Capital One card required) or up to 10 miles per dollar for Capital One cardholders via Capital One Offers at GiftCards.com. The rates vary by gift card type — Mastercard and Gift of College earn nothing, while Visa gift cards earn but not at the headline rate. The deal stacks with GiftCards.com's own promotions and coupons, but it's valid only through 11:59pm Pacific on 8/31/26, so today is the deadline. Check your Capital One Shopping extension for potentially higher targeted rates before clicking through.

the play

Use the Capital One Shopping portal or Capital One Offers link to buy a Visa gift card from GiftCards.com before midnight Pacific on 8/31/26 to maximize the 12.5% back or 10x miles earnings, skipping Mastercard and Gift of College options entirely.

AAdvantage Business Bonus: 10k miles if you have the Citi card.

American Airlines is targeting some AAdvantage accounts with a Business Bonus offer, seen as high as 25,000 miles but often 10,000. The miles land in your AAdvantage Business account, which requires a $5,000 annual spend on AA flights and five enrolled travelers to unlock transfers to your personal account. The Citi AAdvantage Business card waives those requirements, making it the only clean path to actually use the bonus. Without that card, the miles sit in the business account for up to 24 months before expiring.

the play

Check your AAdvantage account under Promotions and Offers for the targeted bonus, then activate it, and plan to pair it with the Citi AAdvantage Business card to unlock the miles.
