Walmart: $10 off $35+ with promo codes (3 uses)
Walmart is running $10 off orders of $35 or more. Use code SAVE3X, FAST30, DOUBLE10, or TRIPLE10 for your next 3 delivery or pickup orders. The offer excludes alcohol and prescriptions; standard delivery is $9.95 unless you have Walmart Plus.
Why it matters: This stacks with the current Amex Platinum offer of $20 off $60 at Walmart.com (usable twice), giving you multiple layers of discounts on groceries and household essentials you'd buy anyway.
TPD take: The math works cleanly if you have both offers. Stack them on orders you'd make regardless and you're looking at real savings on basics.

AmEx Offer: $30 back on $250 Airbnb spend (targeted)
Some American Express cardholders are seeing a new offer: spend $250 on Airbnb, get $30 back. The deal runs through October 20th, but it's not widely available—most cardholders won't see it. A few are getting 15% back instead, also capped at $30.
Why it matters: Airbnb bookings can't be split across multiple cards, so if you have this offer, it's a straight 12% discount on one stay.
TPD take: Check your AmEx account offers. If you see it and have an Airbnb booking coming up, the value is there. If you don't see it yet, it's not worth chasing.

Chase Offer: 10% back on Lyft rides
Chase is offering 10% cash back on Lyft rides, capped at $10 per card. The offer expires September 30th, runs once per card, and if you're targeted, you can add it to multiple Chase cards in your wallet.
Why it matters: You can theoretically swap payment methods after each ride to hit the $10 cap on multiple cards. Plus, you'll still earn category bonuses if your card has Lyft multipliers, and Lyft lets you link to one partner airline or hotel program at a time (Alaska, Hilton, Bilt, United).
TPD take: If you have multiple Chase cards and take regular Lyft rides, this is stackable value. Check your account to see if you're targeted.

Rove adds Copa Airlines with 40% transfer bonus
Rove has added Copa Airlines ConnectMiles as a transfer partner, launching with a 40% bonus through September 30th. This makes Copa Rove's seventh unique transfer partner that doesn't work with any other U.S. points currency.
Why it matters: Copa offers no fuel surcharges on partners like Emirates or Lufthansa—unusual for Star Alliance redemptions. If you've been stockpiling Rove miles without a clear redemption path, this opens another door.
TPD take: If you have Rove miles and were looking for value, the 40% bonus makes this worth exploring. Copa redemptions on premium partners without fuel surcharges are rare.

AmEx Offer: $100 back on $300 Small Luxury Hotels spend
American Express is running a Small Luxury Hotels offer: spend $300 at participating SLH properties, get $100 as a statement credit. Valid through November 15, 2026, and covers room rate and room charges at properties across the Americas, Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Oceania when you book at slh.com.
Why it matters: You need to enroll your card first, and the credit posts after you hit $300 in one or more purchases. That's a clean 33% return on hotel spend if you already have an SLH stay planned.
TPD take: Check your AmEx offers portal if you have a luxury hotel stay coming up. The value is straightforward if it applies to your plans.

Steal of the Day: Topcashback $2.50 bonus on $20 spend
Topcashback is offering $2.50 when you spend $20 or more through their portal today (September 3rd) and tomorrow only. You must activate the offer first before shopping.
Why it matters: It's genuinely free money if you already have an online purchase lined up.
TPD take: Log in now, activate the offer, and use it if you're shopping today or tomorrow. Don't manufacture spending for $2.50, but don't leave it on the table if you're buying something anyway.
