Best of Miles to Memories 8/15/16/-8/21/16
Welcome to the weekly “Best of Miles to Memories” recap series. Here you will find links to all of the still relevant posts from the past week. This week was heavy on the Sapphire Reserve as I applied and was approved even though I made a huge mistake. We also learned of a very good Office Depot Visa gift card 5X opportunity.
To make the posts in this recap easier to wade through, my “Editor’s Picks” in each section are in bold. If you have questions about anything you read feel free to contact me anytime. Enjoy!
