The biggest news this week was that Chase will start enforcing the 5/24 rule on business card applications starting sometime in March, get those applications in for the Chase Ink Cash & Plus now. Citi has also had an error with the Citi Prestige, advertising 3x on gas – I’d recommend giving them a call and you should be able to get 5k points as a courtesy. I really don’t see why the Prestige doesn’t offer this benefit as the Premier does. We also did a lot of credit card reviews last week, check out some of them in the links below all this text.
We added a new resource page for bank account bonuses, you can now see datapoints for how to close accounts at different banks (make sure you contribute to make this resource page more useful). We also added a bunch of new checking bonuses, Santander has a $150 one available nationwide, Fifth Third has a $200 bonus for those in FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MI, MO, NC, OH, PA, TN, WV and BMO Harris has a $250 bonus available nationwide (although there are all sorts of issues with this bonus).
There were a lot of good deals last week, as per usual some of them have expired so make sure you follow us on Twitter so you don’t miss any. iConsumer is a new shopping portal with lots of good cash back rates (including 8% on eBay) read our review here. Camel.com is offering a free $25 gift card, just read my warnings first. If you don’t already have a Upromise account, the $20 referral bonus is back.
As always hope everybody had a good week and if you see anything you think I should have posted, but haven’t then give me an e-mail ([email protected])
