Best Posts Last Week: Best Credit Card & Bank Bonuses Updated & More

Last week saw the updated version of our best credit card sign up bonus list. Including new offers such as the Chase Southwest 50,000 point offers and also the $500 bonus on the Wells Fargo Business Platinum. City National Bank also added a new 50,000 point bonus on their Visa Infinite product, unfortunately they no longer waive the annual fee. We included some new information to our chase account freeze guide and also shared what you should do in regards to American Express/Chase SPG/Marriott cards.

Our best bank bonus page also got an update. Last week saw some great bank bonuses such as the $300 Chase business checking bonus and $100 Bank of America personal bonus, both available nationwide. HarborOne is also offering a bonus of up to $500, restricted to those in MA, NH, ME, CT, VT & RI. Cincinnati Federal has a $250 bonus for those in OH, KY & IN.

It wasn’t a particularly active week for deals. If you’re Sam’s Club store is closing down you can get a refund or three month extension, those stores are also having 25% off all merchandise sales, with the discount rate to increase. Google Wallet and Android Pay is now Google Pay, with some launch offers to celebrate. We also shared our predictions for 2018.
