At the start of every month, I like to take a step back and thank all the readers who provided helpful comments the previous month. I also like to highlight the best comments from that month and to reward those readers who did leave one of the best comments. The aim is to hopefully help readers that might have missed these great comments by highlighting them here and also to give each reader a $10 Amazon gift card that is mentioned below. If you were selected below, keep an eye out on your e-mails for the next few days for an e-mail from me.
In addition we are trying something new. Each of the people selected below can choose one referral post to have their information ‘stickied’ to. This means your comment will be the top comment of that referral post (regardless of when you leave the comment). This should help get these people more referrals.
Bank Bonuses
- Dylan with a detailed comment outlining the Huntington Bank bonus. Very useful comment and also nice to see another reader nominate this comment as well.
- Emporio pointing out the Associated Bank Money Market account bonus isn’t as good as listed. Often monthly fee requirements change and it’s not possible for us to always catch them, it makes such a positive difference when readers are able to spot these mistakes and update us.
- Joe letting us know the Elements Financial household rule isn’t enforced.
- YAR pointing out the TD Bank savings bonus is better than I listed due to the fact Preferred Savings account is not required.
Credit Cards
- DS challenging the conventional wisdom on the 5/24 rule applying to the Marriott business card. This eventually led DS applying for the card and proving the 5/24 rule didn’t apply to this card.
Misc
- Mi b providing some very useful and constructive criticism regarding making something clearer. I love when readers do this, especially when they give an alternative on how I can word something differently to make it easier to understand. This is especially true for titles, we purposefully don’t write click bait titles so if you think something could be phrased differently then let us know.
