Chase currently has an offer for 100,000 points on the Chase Ink Preferred, one reader shared how they were able to get that bonus without being a business managed client (and more were able to follow those directions in the comments). Alliant launched a new 3% cash back on all purchases (first year) and then 2.5% on all purchases. We also shared & updated our best credit card sign up bonus page for March, 2017. The Merrill+ bonus is still available by phone, so get that card if you haven’t already.
Chuck created an awesome resource on which banks adjust auto-pay to the amount owed. I shared how to check your credit card application status with each issuer (and Chase recently launched a way to check status online). If you haven’t already, make sure you enroll in the Q2 5% cash back categories.
As always we added a lot more bank account bonuses and some high interest checking accounts. Evansville Teachers Federal Credit Union has a 3% APY account on balances up to $15,000, Regions Bank has a new bonus for up to $250 for those in AL, AR, FL, GA, IL, IN, IA, KY, LA, MS, MO, NC, SC, TN & TX. The Wells Fargo $250 bonus is back, with different restrictions than previous. Sadly the Santander $225 bonus is now limited to those in NH, MA, RI, CT, DE, NY, NJ & PA Residents.
There is currently a $20 money maker with Dollar Shave Club, Swagbucks & Amex Offers. Targeted AmEx offer for $100 back on $500+ spend with Delta. Staples also has their Mystery Rewards going on at the moment, use our post to check what your code is worth. If anybody got in on the Michigan lottery deal, they have increased the weekly limits.
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]).
