Last week the refreshed American Express Green Card finally launched and you can get a sign up bonus of up to 45,000 points. Capital One is offering a bonus of up to $2,000 or 200,000 miles on the Spark business cards. Some American Express Hilton cardholders are being offered a 150,000 point upgrade offer as well. Unfortunately we saw more American Express self refer claw backs. There are also good spending bonuses on the Citi sears and Bank of America cards.

We also updated the best account bonus page for October. This includes a $350 HSBC business checking bonus available in branch. SoFi Money is offering a $50 bonus & $100 for each referral as well. Home Federal Savings Bank has a $200 checking & $200 savings bonus for those in MN & IA, Sunflower Bank has a $200 checking bonus for those in AZ, MO, NM, KS & CO and TX. A number of other good state specific bonuses can be found below.

You can pick up an Echo dot for $8.98 with a month of Amazon music unlimited. Spotify is also offering a free Google home mini for new Spotify Premium members. Subway is offering $5 off when you use PayPal to pay. There is a Chase offer for 10-15% back at Lowe’s. IHG has an offer for 4x bonus points. There is an AmEx offer for 15% back at Starbucks.
