Best Posts Last Week: AmEx Offers Restricted, Credit Card Best Offer Guarantee, 6,000 Miles For E-mail Subscription & More

Another busy week. Let’s start with some increased credit card bonuses, Barclays is offering 60,500 miles on the American Airlines Aviator, JetBlue Business offer is also back to 40,000 points. IHG has a 100,000 + $50 deal on the IHG Premier card (F.A.Q on this offer here). Credit Karma also added a best offer guarantee for credit cards that looks interesting. It also looks like there will be a three day window where a lot of readers will be eligible for the new SPG Luxury card.

In worse new Discover announced they would be removing the price protection benefit. American Express improved their purchase protection and extended warranty benefits but absolutely gutted the AmEx sync offers by preventing the multi tab trick from working. It was a slowish week for bank account bonuses. Two offers stood out and that’s up to $525 from Chase and $350 from Keybank for those in AK, NY, OH, ID, IN, ME, MI, OR, PA, UT & VT. Full list of all the bank bonuses and high yield savings accounts added can be viewed below.

American Express is offering a 25% transfer bonus to JetBlue & 30% bonus to Virgin Atlantic. A lot of readers are eligible for an easy and free 6,000 Southwest points for subscribing to the Southwest e-mail newsletter. Samsung Pay Rewards is sadly most useless after removing gift card redemption options. Hyatt is partnering with SLH and American Express cardholders can get mid range status for free and possible a free night.
