Best Posts Last Week: CSR Rumor, Credit Card Checklist & More

Last week the biggest credit card news was the rumor that Chase is looking to add a dining credit and increase the annual fee to $550 on the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Chuck put together a great year end credit card check list to make sure you’re maxing out the benefits for each card you have. Barclays increased the sign up bonus to 60,000 miles + companion certificate on the American Airlines card and we got new working links for the 50,000 Citi Expedia offers. American Express is also offering 150,000 points + $100 statement credit on the Hilton Surpass card. American Express has no lifetime language offers on the Platinum, Blue Business Plus & Delta cards as well.

We updated our best bank bonus page for November, this includes the Chase $500 business checking bonus that was just extended. Also includes the HomeStreet $350 bonus for those in WA, CA, OR, ID, HI and a variety of other state specific bonuses that can all be viewed below. We also updated our best brokerage bonus page. Citi is launching a new digital checking account with 1% APY. SoFi Money users can get 20% cash back on Lyft rides, up to $1,000 back.

If you haven’t used your UberEats platinum credit this month, check to see if you’re targeted for 50% off with an UberEats promo code. In the lead up to Black Friday/Cyber Monday we’ve  updated our complete guide to saving money on Amazon. Swagbucks currently has a $62 money maker on LifeLock. If you have a Wells Fargo card, check to see if you are targeted for 10% back on Gas/Grocery purchases. Hy-vee and Kroger both have good prepaid gift card deals.

As always a lot of the good deals have already expired, make sure to either follow us on Twitter, get instant notifications 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]).
