Outdoorsy is an RV rental exchange that lets RV owners earn extra cash by renting your RV that is otherwise sitting in a driveway. RV renters can save money by renting an RV directly from an owner. Thanks to startups like Airbnb people are making money renting out their homes and rooms and now RV’s.
First-time RV renters can get a $40 Outdoorsy Discount off your first RV rental through Outdoorsy. That makes it a great time to try give the recreational vehicle world a spin and live your dreams. If the $40 discount does not come up on the link then when you check-out you can type in promo code FOMOPROMO.
With the travel industry in flux, travelers are looking for environments they can control, such as RV rentals.
Motor homes offer lodging, flexibility, and independence, and are becoming increasingly popular choices for those looking to travel, but feel wary of staying in hotels or Airbnbs.
Recreational Vehicles, or RVs, come in a wide variety of in size and accommodations and are available to rent from corporate fleets and peer-to-peer rentals.
The process to rent or earn cash is as simple as AirBnb. Listing is free and Outdoorsy collects a percentage of the transaction as their fee. The company also has a unique $1 Million dollar insurance policy that covers both the renter and the owner. It also allows anyone to drive the RV without any special driver’s license or experience. The company runs a DMV check on all renters, and prior to departure, owners meet with renters in order to familiarize them with the vehicle and operations. On average, the cost to rent an RV on Outdoorsy is between $100 and $200 a day.
We normally put together a list of our favorite credit cards each month and this is what we have come up with from across the web. There are so many offers that it is sometimes hard to decide and because we are one of the only unbiased sites online that does not have affiliate links to offers you can assure we could care less which card you apply for. We just rank these cards in the order that we feel we would want to apply if we had not already had most of these cards and could reapply for them. Let us know if any of the links are broken or if you are having problems with these.
Keep in mind that miles and points are not equal and that each Hotel and Airline are not equal. There are also other factors we look at when weighing programs such as mile bonuses and how many more points we can earn per charge. Always read the small print on these credit card offers to make certain it is the right card for you.
Some recent card changes include The JetBlue American Express card which is being phased out for another program. The Barclays Lufthansa card has dropped the miles bonus so we recommend when it goes back to 50,000 miles. The Bank of America Asiana Miles and the US Bank LifeMiles also need to go back up to better bonus sign-ups before we would consider them again.
Here is the list of the top rated Rewards credit cards right now:
#1 Discover It– Our Favorite Card of 2016 is by far the Discover It Card. Not only is Discover a known pioneer of the credit card industry when it comes to rewards but its DOUBLE cash back offer is the best out there especially when they double your shopping and Apple Pay bonuses. Head here to get a $100 Bonus when you sign up and Double points for a Year.
#2 American Express Cards – American Express has had incredible AMEX offers for their accounts in the past year. Two must have cards are the Discover It card (above) and an American Express in your wallet. AMEX Offers pop-up and save me about a thousand a year. You can get these applied to any AMEX Card. Here are a few AMEX Business and Personal cards we rate the highest:

Comenity Bank:
Virgin America
Airline is expanding but they offer a card that allows you to cancel flights for free even though they barely offer any flights unless you live in their hub San Francisco.
The Virgin America Platinum card has something that we wish all airline credit cards would have which is a cancellation-fee reimbursement. The annual fee is steep but if you fly Virgin America and cancel a lot of flights then this is a great card.
Other cards possibly worth mentioning:

Choice Hotels has a card from Barclays and you can see some of their latest hotels here. This could be a good one to own for 4 free stays. Cash Back Cards we wish that had a bigger bonus or any at all are the following:
BarclaysCard NFL Card Offer was great a few years ago when they offered more than a $100 bonus. Let’s hope that bonus goes back up to $500 or so.
Google Pay was recently refreshed and is coming out with some amazing offers. Right now they are offering a sweet deal at Target as they’re giving $21 back when spending $50 or more.
Spend $50+ at Target & get $21 cashback when paying with Google Pay.
Key Terms
Expires December 31, 2020.
Activation required.
Offer valid at Target both in-store & online.
Limit 1 reward.
Not valid on transactions made using the Target RedCard.
Easiest $21 of the Holiday Season
$21 back on $50 of spend is a 42% discount which is an excellent offer at Target. Even if you don’t need anything from Target right now, this is working when buying gift cards from Target, so it’s effectively a 42% discount on any gift card sold there.
You might need to update the Google Pay app in order to see this offer. It wasn’t showing up on my phone when opening Google Pay, so I updated it in the Play Store. I still didn’t see the offer when opening the app backup after updating it, but then realized it had downloaded an additional app to my phone. There are now apps for Google Pay and GPay on my phone – it’s GPay where this offer is showing up.
Note that this is a card-linked offer, so you don’t have to actually use the GPay app itself to make the payment – you just have to ensure your payment card is enrolled in the Target offer in the app. That’s great as it means you can pay with a card that earns more at Target, although Discover isn’t supported. I therefore enrolled an Amex Marriott card which is currently earning 8x at Target. I bought a $50 gift card and almost instantly received notification from Google Pay that I’d earned $21.
If you join Google Pay using a referral link, Google Pay will also give both parties $21 if you’re joining for the first time. That means you’d be getting back $42 on $50 of spend which is an even better deal.

If the idea of an unlimited 2% cash back card is on your mind, this is the comparison you’re likely here to see.
As mentioned previously, the Citi Double Cash is one of our favorite credit cards because it offers a straightforward 2% cash back. You earn 1% cash back as you purchase, followed by an additional 1% cash back earned when you pay your bill.
This PayPal Cashback Mastercard can match that 2% cash back, but does it stack up with the Double Cash in other areas? One card that is not mentioned is one that is better than both of these the Discover IT Match Card where you get double cashback with an additional 2% and 5% on quarterly bonuses.
Here’s a quick comparison of the cards to help you understand the main differences between the two:

The Citi Double Cash is possibly the most versatile no annual fee credit card out there. It’s the credit card I use for everyday spending, and it’s one I recommend regardless of whether you want to earn cash back or travel rewards.
Here are the four reasons that the Citi Double Cash should be in your wallet:
Earn a higher cash back on all spending
The Citi Double Cash has a phenomenal rewards structure if you’re looking to earn cash back. At this point that’s understandably what lots of people are looking to earn, as getting cash towards your daily expenses may be preferable to earning travel rewards.
The card offers:
1% cash back when you make a purchase
1% cash back when you pay for that purchase
By the time you’ve paid for your purchase you’ll get two cents back on every dollar spent. This is more rewarding than a vast majority of cash back credit cards, and is in line with the best cash back return you’ll find on a credit card.
There’s not a single card I can think of that offers a return of better than 2% cash back unless its a business card such as the Capital One Spark Visa and you have to pay a $59 annual fee.
The Citi® Double Cash Card used to just be an excellent cash back credit card, but nowadays it’s also an exceptional credit card for those looking to earn rewards points. So in this post I wanted to provide an updated review of this amazing card.
As far as were concerned, this card has ushered in a new era of credit cards, where you can earn 2x transferable points on all purchases with no caps. So not only is this a great card for those looking for a simple credit card strategy, but it’s also a great card for those who go great lengths to maximize their points.
No Annual Fee The Citi Double Cash has no annual fee, which you can’t beat. A lot of people sacrifice credit card rewards because they don’t want a card with an annual fee, so here you’re getting a valuable card that won’t cost you anything.
0% Intro APR The Citi Double Cash has an offer for 0% intro APR for 18 months on balance transfers from date of first transfer when transfers are completed within 4 months from date of account opening. After that, your APR will be 13.99% to 23.99%, based on your creditworthiness.
This won’t be for everyone, but I know that this is something that some people take advantage of. While some cards offer 12 months 0% APR, 18 months is quite a long time.
Mastercard Benefits The Citi Double Cash is a Mastercard, which is worth mentioning because Mastercard has excellent acceptance with merchants.
The same is true of Visa, though this is an area where American Express is still improving. So there is something to be said for getting a Mastercard that will be accepted virtually everywhere.
Citi is among the most generous issuers in letting people product change between cards:
You can downgrade any personal Citi credit card to the Citi Double Cash; this even includes co-branded cards You can generally only product change if you’ve had a card for at least 12 months, so you can’t do this with a new card You’ll want to call Citi to see all the options available to you The benefit of product-changing rather than applying new is that you can maintain your credit line, and also that it won’t count as a further inquiry on your credit report.
Whether you apply for the card outright or product change to it, you have options.
Earning Rewards With The Citi Double Cash This is where the Citi Double Cash gets truly incredible, especially with the changes that were made to the card recently. When you spend a dollar on the card (and pay the bill) you’re potentially looking at earning two cents of rewards, and those rewards can even be transferred to Citi ThankYou points at a ratio of one cent per point.
Earning Cash Back With The Citi Double Cash The Citi Double Cash offers 1% cash back when you make a purchase, and 1% cash back when you pay for that purchase.
So after paying for your purchase, you’ll earn rewards worth two cents back on every dollar spent, which is great. A lot of people earn 1-1.5% cash back on their credit cards, so this is much better.
HOW TO REDEEM CITI DOUBLE CASH REWARDS AS CASH As explained above, the Citi Double Cash offers a return of two cents on the dollar for your spending (after paying your bill), but how does the actual process of earning cash back work?
The cash back will show in your Citi account after logging in, and will appear in two columns — the 1% cash back you earn from spending, and then the 1% cash back you earn from paying for your purchase.
You’ll need a minimum of a $25 cash back balance to redeem your Citi Double Cash rewards, which is earned after $1,250 of spending. You have four redemption options for Citi Double Cash rewards:
You can redeem for a gift card from a variety of retailers
You can redeem for a statement credit, which will post to your account within 2-3 days
You can redeem for a direct deposit, which can be to a Citi account, or an account with another bank
You can redeem for a check, which will be mailed to you within 7-10 days
Personally, I wouldn’t redeem for a gift card (why limit yourself?), but rather would choose either a direct deposit or check, which gives you the most flexibility.
Earning ThankYou Points With The Citi Double Cash In September 2019, Citi added the functionality to convert Citi Cash Rewards into Citi ThankYou points at the rate of 100 ThankYou points per $1 of Cash Rewards. In other words, 100 cents cashback converts into 100 ThankYou points.
There are lots of ways you can redeem your Citi ThankYou points. You can redeem them for one cent each towards gift cards and other purchases, though that isn’t worth it. At that rate you’re just better off earning cash back outright rather than gift cards.
Where this gets really valuable is if you have the Citi Double Cash in conjunction with either the Citi Premier or Citi Prestige. If that’s the case then you can also transfer these points to Citi’s airline transfer partners, including Etihad Guest, Singapore KrisFlyer, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, and more. This is a fantastic way to redeem for international first & business class experiences.
Points potentially transfer at the following rates to the following programs:
Citi ThankYou Transfer Partner Transfer Ratio Aeroméxico Club Premier 1000 : 1000 Air France KLM Flying Blue 1000 : 1000 Avianca LifeMiles 1000 : 1000 Cathay Pacific Asia Miles 1000 : 1000 Etihad Guest 1000 : 1000 EVA Air Infinity MileageLands 1000 : 1000 Jet Airways JetPrivilege 1000 : 1000 JetBlue TrueBlue 1000 : 1000 Malaysia Airlines Enrich 1000 : 1000 Qantas Frequent Flyer 1000 : 1000 Qatar Privilege Club 1000 : 1000 Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer 1000 : 1000 Thai Royal Orchid Plus 1000 : 1000 Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles 1000 : 1000 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club 1000 : 1000 This is the first credit card out there to offer an uncapped return of 2x transferable points per dollar spent. I value ThankYou points at 1.7 cents each, so to me that’s like a return of 3.4% on spending.
In some cases, you can do even better than that. Citi frequently has transfer bonuses, so you can potentially take advantage of those while earning 2x points on this card.
Is The Citi Double Cash Right For You? The Citi Double Cash has long been lucrative. However, historically I’ve thought this card was ideal for those looking to earn simple cash back rewards, rather than true points hobbyists. That’s no longer the case, since major changes were made several months back.
After you spend a dollar on the card and pay the bill you’ll have your choice of earning:
Two cents cash back Two transferable points, assuming you have the card in conjunction with the Citi Premier or Citi Prestige Earning 2x transferable points per dollar spent with no caps on earnings is unrivaled.
Citi Double Cash Card Alternatives The Citi Double Cash is now industry leading when it comes to the return it offers on transferable points, though there are still some other cards that may be worth considering:
If you want a card that has among the best cash back rates in the industry, the Bank of America® Premium Rewards® credit card (review) has a $95 annual fee, a welcome bonus worth $500 of travel, provides great perks, and potentially offers up to 2.625% cash back If you’re looking to earn flexible travel rewards, the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card (review) and Chase Freedom Unlimited® (review) are an incredible duo that offer a great return on spending and valuable perks If you want a cash back card and spend a lot on dining, the Capital One® Savor® Cash Rewards Credit Card (review) has a $95 annual fee that’s waived for the first year, offers a welcome bonus worth $300 cash back, has no foreign transaction fees, and offers 4% cash back on dining and entertainment If you want a travel rewards card that offers flexible points, the Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card (review) has a $95 annual fee that’s waived for the first year, offers a welcome bonus of 50,000 points, offers 2x Venture miles per dollar spent, has no foreign transaction fees, and more
Citi Double Cash Card Summary The Citi Double Cash has gone from a great cash back credit card, to an unrivaled card for those who are into miles & points. Not only can the card potentially earn up to two cents back per dollar spent, but in conjunction with the Citi Premier or Citi Prestige you can potentially earn 2x ThankYou points per dollar spent, which can be transferred to airlines or hotels.
This card is now a must-have. I picked up the card recently, and it’s now the card I use for my everyday, non-bonused spending.
This card is also a no brainer for paying your taxes with, for example, since you can do so for a fee of 1.87% (which is like acquiring ThankYou points for under a penny each). The same is true for payments through Plastiq.

Our Verdict
Doesn’t seem to be any minimum spend requirement so go for it before they run out of freebies.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is uphending Americans’ lives and changing how we spend our money. As a result of stay-at-home orders and health concerns, consumers have been canceling vacations and avoiding booking future travel. While travel is in decline, grocery sales have been on the rise.
This may make a travel card you have less valuable, but card issuers are adapting their rewards programs in the meantime due to the changing environment.
Marriott is now offering most co-branded credit cards from Chase and American Express an enhanced 6X Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar spent on eligible grocery purchases starting tomorrow, May 1, through July 31, 2020.
