Hyatt is offering a 10% discount on the purchase of gift cards, which can translate into huge savings potential for Hyatt stays with a bit of planning. This was previously only valid on physical gift cards, but it looks like the discount is now valid on electronic gift cards as well.
-- The gift cards can be used at participating Hyatt hotels in the US, Canada and Caribbean
-- If you have an OPEN card from American Express you'll receive a 5% rebate on the purchase
-- You can also earn 3% cash back on your Hyatt booking through TopCashBack
Purchasing gift cards
This promotion is open to all Hyatt Gold Passport members, and you can purchase the gift cards directly on the Hyatt website. It doesn't seem like there's a limit to how many gift cards you can buy using this promotion.

For a limited time, Chase has increased the sign-up bonus on the no annual fee Chase Freedom®. This is one of my favorite no annual fee credit cards. The sign-up bonus is marketed as follows:
For a limited time, earn a $200 Bonus after you spend $500 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening
Earn a $25 Bonus after you add your first authorized user and make a purchase within this same 3-month period
The sign-up bonus is marketed as cash back, but in reality, you earn points on the Chase Freedom®, and each point can be redeemed for one cent cash back.
In other words, the sign up bonus offers 20,000 points after making $500 of purchases in the first three months, and an additional 2,500 points after adding an authorized user and having them make a purchase within three months, for a total of 22,500 points.
