Best Posts Last Week: Denied Bonuses Being Paid Out, Wells Fargo 40% Back & More

Last week saw a lot of people with denied American Express sign up bonuses receive those bonuses, it’s not exactly clear why this happened but good news regardless. We also saw Bank of Hawaii/Barclays offer a sign up bonus of 75,000 miles on the Hawaiian Airlines card. Chase released the rotating 5% categories for Q2 on the Chase Freedom: grocery stores and home improvement stores. We also updated our pre-approved and instant number credit card pages, as well as the best credit card bonuses for March.

The best bank bonus page for March also got updated and now includes new nation wide bonuses such as up to $599 from MoneyLion, up to $500 from Capital One and $100 from HSBC. We also added a number of good state specific bonuses. BMT is offering a bonus of up to $520 for those in DE, NJ & PA, Key Bank has a $300 bonus for those in  NY, CO, IN, CT, ME, OR, WA, UT, BMO Harris has a bonus of $200/$500 for those in AZ, FL, IL, IN, KS, MO, MN and WI. A full list of bank bonuses added last week can be viewed below.

Amex has a $25 back when you spend $45 on a Sam’s Club membership, this can be stacked with many other Sam’s Club membership deals. Wells Fargo is offering 40% back at Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters, Banana Republic. Cash app has added new cash boost offers, including things like 10% back at Kroger. Get a free $5 Lyft/Uber credit through Freebird with promo code URBDAY1.
