Very nice find! This looks great, the upside potential is much better than last year.

And interestingly it shows 2 max hits for 21st Century Auto Insurance. 1 for the quote, 1 for getting a policy I assume.

At any rate, I've calculated and while it will take several hundred dollars for me, that's worth it for 36 hits and 100K miles. If I still had multiple credit cards or points in more hotel programs it would cost me less. The harder part will be seeing how many I can get for my wife. This definitely better than last year. The max 28 hits earned 50K. 28 hits nets 60K now and if you make it that far there's no reason not to aim for more.
How do you plan on doing this for "only" several hundred dollars? At first glance, it looks like it might cost me more than that, but some of these I was planning on doing anyway during the promo time-frame.
