Best Posts Last Week: $15 Off Amazon, Rumored New Capital One Card & Highest Ever Amtrak Bonus

Last week we saw Bank of America launch the highest ever sign up bonus on the Amtrak credit card offering 40,000 points + $100 statement credit. It’s also possible to get 50k points via incognito mode on the American Express gold card and Green Dot is offering 3% cash back on all purchases with no limit. Brex is offering a bonus of 100,000 points and points are transferrable to airline partners but you need a business and account access to an account with $100,000 in it to be eligible.

It was another great week for bank account bonuses. Unify is offering $100 + two LA rams tickets (these can be resold for a nice profit) nationwide, Chase $300 business checking bonus has returned and both the Simple Finance & HSBC $750 offers have been extended. There was also a number of state specific bonuses that can all be viewed below.

It was also a good week for deals, you can get $15 off $50+ Amazon when you use a single Citi TYP or $15 off $60 when you use a Chase UR point. Wells Fargo is offering 10% back on grocery/gas purchases. A number of good UberEats promo codes have been added and it looks like UberEats will offer 50% off on Fridays this month. A lot of good AmEx offers were added including 50% back at Samsclub.com, 15% back at online super stores, 10% back at boxed and 10% back at Dell as well as $25 back when you spend $250+ at Best Buy.

As always a lot of the good deals have already expired, make sure to either follow us on Twitter, get instant notifications or get daily e-mail updates so you don’t miss any deals. If we missed any deals or you have an idea for a post, please let us know ([email protected] or [email protected]).
