Best Posts Last Week: Bank Bonuses Galore, 10x At Shoprite & 60,000 Point Bonus

First full week of 2018 has come and gone, so let’s take a look. If you haven’t already make sure your 5% rotating categories are activated and get some spending tips. It’s also a new year for travel credits, always nice to get those out of the way. The JetBlue Plus 60,000 points sign up bonus is still available. We also looked at the Bank of America free museums benefit for 2018.

It was a very good week for new bank account bonuses. Bank of America has a massive $2,500 business checking bonus, difficult to do the full $2,500 but should be relatively easy to get $1,000 for most people. SunTrust also has a $500 personal checking bonus and a $200 business checking bonus for those in AL, AR, FL, GA, MD, MS, NC, SC, TN, WV, VA, and D.C Only. Chase also has a $200 business checking bonus and $300 personal checking/$200 savings bonus and Citi has another $300 personal checking bonus. My suggestion is don’t be lazy and get onto as many of these as you can, that way you can relax for the rest of the year.

You can get 10x ultimate rewards points at Shoprite. American Express cardholders can get $30 off $60 when using a single membership rewards point, some cardholders also get another $10 at Amazon as well. Swagbucks is offering a $30 bonus with a donation to the American Diabetes Association. Delta has an award sale with domestic flights starting at 13,000 miles round trip. We also made some changes to our comment system, we’d love your feedback here.
