That's an amazing point value!
Generally with hotel and airline points, it's very difficult to find the value deals (3-5pts/cent). It's take quite a bit of research (specific to each company), specific travel dates and a bit of luck.
I have had 100k point bonuses for the top tier cards (about $500 or more yearly fees) United , Amex, chase and citi, Marriot. It's a really pain to be able to really find that high (4-5pt/cent) value and understand their point programs.
Thus I highly regard my Chase Reserve points bc it's easy to use and get 33% off with the pay your self back offer.
Apple GC at giant eagle (regional grocery PA/OH mostly)
They have fuelperks+ which is 6% back as fuel (simplified if you want a book go visit the website and do math)
They had triple fuelperks so thats 18% back as gas + used amex blue preferred for 6% cash back at grocery store..
other options use rotating category CC with grocery for 5% back
alternatively buy a Giant eagle gift card at their gas station if you have rotating gas category ie discover or freedom
you CAN purchase other GC with a giant eagle giftcard.
So I scored 24% back on lowes using their "happy" giftcards which were triple fuelperks.
Previously they have also offered 10$ off per 100$ on apple GC + fuelperks which works out to
90$ for 100$ GC and you earn 6% cashback(or 5% with other CC) and 6% as gas
so that would be around $79.2 for a 100 GC
Kroger 4x fuel rewards would be another but I'll let someone else explain that as they arent local to me.
I used to play the fuel rewards game here in CT with Stop & Shop - probably saved over $1000 in gas one summer alone. the trick was to buy Visa GC when they had a multiplier like 5 or 6, then liquidate the GC via Bluebird (no longer available). Sure you ate like $5 per card (buy the $500 cards) but also got back CC multiples (mine was 5x) plus the gas savings. It was a hell of a racket. Then they kneecapped it the program, cutting the potential reward by ~ half. Also, the stations it works at - S&S brand and Shell, tend to be more $$ anyway (especially Shell), and certainly more $$ than BJ's gas (right now about $0.20/gallon more actually). Now it's not worth the hassle.

It's better to buy apple gift cards from a supermarket, and pay yourself back at the same rate.
Best to buy MasterCard gift cards at super market then use those gift cards to buy Apple gift cards. Get points for both.

Are you sure you know what you are taking about? Most rumor sites are suggesting an M1x 14/16 MBP and new Mac mini, in additional to the usual software updates from WWDC. This event has real impact for many consumers...
Again it just a rumor with no consistency of confirmed sources
There was 3x on mastercard till yesterday and 3x on Visa from today

this is a bad promotion, don't do it, I don't know how it gain so much thumbs up. You should always transfer to partners not redeem. Same applies for Amex Membership Rewards.
I still play the fuel rewards game, the problem is that they limit the promo as 1 per promotional period nowadays and for some reason it doesn't work for me automatically sometimes

No, Happy cards can only be used at the retailers on the front of the card. All these "run as credit" cards are, are prepaid CC's that are limited in the merchant system to specific merchants (literally specific store locations). From Lowe's perspective, when they run the card, it runs as credit, so you can buy anything with it, then the credit system decides if the charge is allowed or not (e.g. is the Lowe's you are buying from in the list of permitted merchants?).
The "online redemption" Happy cards are basically just prepaid gift cards you then redeem for actual store gift cards. Since this would ultimately be a Lowe's GC (if you elected to redeem it that way), it would have all the same restrictions (like not being able to buy 3rd party GC's with it).
Freedom cards cannot transfer to affiliate programs at all.
