Last week was really all about American Express, they announced improvements to both the personal and business versions of their Platinum cards (5x points on airfare and 1.5x on purchases of $5,000+)Â and two cents per point flight redemption on the business card. They also increased the sign up bonuses on the business platinum card to 100,000 points, Hilton surpass to 100,000 points and no fee Hilton card to 75,000 points.
Plus they might be launching a new Hilton Diamond card and Hilton might be introducing Diamond+ status. You might also be targeted to earn 5k SPG points on the personal SPG card or a free night on the no annual fee Hilton card. City National Bank has a 40,000 point offer on their Visa signature card as well. USAA is introducing a new 2.5% cash back card and Wyndham made some sneaky negative changes to their earning rates.
If you’re into bank accounts at all, you’ll want to check out our bank account reference page. To put it simply, it’s awesome. Want an account to open in Texas that is a soft pull, you can fund with an American Express card? You can now easily search and filter for such a thing. We also updated our best bank account bonus page for October. We added a lot of new bank account bonuses, you can view all of those below.
As always, most of the better deals have now expired so do yourself a favor and follow us on Twitter so you don’t miss out. You can get a free $675 hotel membership and enter to win $250 in hotel credit here and also get $25 off $50 on Amazon here by using at least one American Express point. Last but not least, here is $10 for free for Kohl’s and Nordstrom.
