There were two increased credit card offers on hotel credit cards we talked about last week. We showed you how to get 80,000 IHG points on the Chase card and American Express increased the sign up bonus to 85,000 points on the Surpass card. It’s also worth considering paying your taxes with a credit card, especially if you’re struggling to meet any minimum spends (H&R block are also offering a 10% bonus when you opt to receive gift cards instead of cash on your tax return. We also found out about the new jetBue cards from Barclaycard and looked at 19 things you should know about US Bank & Bank of America.
We updated our best bank bonus page, IBERIA bank is probably the best one we added with a $300 + $100 bonuses and no direct deposit requirement (only available in AL, AR, FL, GA, LA, TN, & TX). First Niagara is also offering a $200 bonus for those in CT, MA, PA & NY that’s worth completing as well. I just wish the $200 US Bank bonus was open to everybody and not a targeted offer.
There were a few good deals last week, unfortunately some are now expired so make sure you follow us on Twitter so you don’t miss any this week. Shop & Stop/Giant are offering 4x  gas points on gift cards (including eBay) and Kohl’s is giving you $10 for free if you have a Discover card. If you bother with Staples rebates, there are two posts you should read. First read our complete guide and then read about PIN enabled cards.
