Best Posts Last Week: Five Increased Credit Card Bonuses, High Interest Accounts & More

Last week was a great week for increased sign up bonuses. You can currently get 30,000 miles + a $100 statement credit on the Alaska Airlines credit card. You can also get 50,000 miles + $50 statement credit on the American Express Gold Delta card and 60,000 miles + $100 on the Platinum version of the same card, consider using a readers referral link if you’re thinking of signing up (feel free to share yours there as well).

There is also an increased bonus of 75,000 miles + $50 statement credit on the Chase United card, just keep in mind this is a targeted offer and that 5/24 rules also apply. Citi are also offering a 60,000 mile sign up bonus on their Citi AA Executive card, just keep in mind the $450 annual fee. Last but not least the Barclaycard Wyndham card also has increased it’s sign up bonus to 45,000 points, that’s enough for three free nights at any Wyndham property.

It wasn’t a great week for high interest accounts, Netspend and associated cards are going to drop the amount you can earn 5% interest on from $5,000 to only $1,000 per card. Chuck took a look at all the other options available and the profit per account here. One such option is Consumers Credit Union offering 4.59% on up to $20,000.

We added three new bank account bonuses that are worth checking out. Blue Hills bank are offering $200 for those in MA, HomeStreet is offering $100 for those in CA, WA, OR, ID, UT and finally First Midwest Bank are offering another $100 for those in IL, IN, IA, WI.

There were a heap of good deals as always on the site, some have now expired so if you’re not already following us on Twitter I’d recommend doing that right now so you don’t miss any this week. The United shopping portal is giving you 1,000 bonus miles for $250 in spend (basically an extra 4x miles per $1), there is a targeted AmEx offer for $10 free at QuikTrip and another for $15/1,500 Membership Rewards with $100 spend at any supermarket. There is also another Staples gift card deal, spend $300 on American Express gift cards and get a $20 Staples gift card.
