Best Posts Last Week: Bilt 2.0 Goes Live, New Chase Rule, $100 Verizon Outage Credit & More

Bilt has launched Bilt 2.0 with three new cards Blue, Obsidian, Palladium. The changes have not been received well and Bilt has announced a new rent option in response. Chase is changing the rules surrounding signup bonus eligibility on the Sapphire Reserve & Preferred. Chase is offering five free nights on the Hyatt card (category 1-4). Chase is also offering 90,000 points on the British Airways card. Various financial institutions are offering a $500 bonus on a Consumer World card. 

We have completely overhauled the best brokerage bonus post for 2026 and will keep this updated moving forward. We also have a new discussion post for 2025 tax forms for bank account bonuses. A lot of new nationwide bank account bonuses have been added including a $400 chase checking bonus, $100 Varo referral, up to $1,500 U.S. Bank business checking bonus or $200 business savings bonus, Bank of America has a $400/$750 business checking bonus. Others have been extended and of course a healthy dose of state specific bonuses. 

Verizon is offering a credit of up to $100 following a day long outage. You can get a free Cappello’s pizza after rebate. Rakuten is offering $45/4,500 on a gobble meal subscription. 

As always a lot of the good deals have already expired, make sure to either follow us on Twitter or get daily e-mail updates so you don’t miss any deals. If we missed any deals or you have an idea for a post, please let us know ([email protected] or [email protected]).
