Best Posts Last Week: Discover To Cut Benefits, Best Uses Of Free Nights & More

Discover has announced that they will be removing a number of benefits after February 28th, 2018. American Express dominated the rest of the credit card news, offering generous retention bonuses and some being offered 100,000 points on the Platinum card. The annual fee waiver American Express offers active duty military also works for their spouses and the $35 Uber credit for Platinum cardholders is now available for December. If you have the Chase IHG card, check out this post on the best uses of the free night certificate.

Was a very quiet week for bank account bonuses with only three new posts. Only really the 4.07% APY rate on balances up to $15,000 offered by First Financial Bank is of any interest and that’s only for AR & MS unfortunately.

Was another massive week for deals with Cyber Monday. Topcashback has partnered with us and is offering new members a $25 sign up bonus, the highest they have ever offered. There is a targeted amex offer for $5 back when spending $5+ at Dunkin donuts. Samsung Pay users can get 2,500 points when using Visa check out. SiriusXM is also offering 6 months of streaming service and a $50 Amazon gift card for $30. Both Barron’s and WSJ are offering up to 1,200 miles for a $1 8 week trial subscription.

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]).
