Best Posts Last Week: Easy & Free $100 Amazon Giftcard, Chase Sapphire Banking & More

It was a slow week in the credit card world, the only two major pieces of news was that Bank of America launched a lackluster AirFrance/KLM co-branded credit card with a 25,000 mile bonus and Citi American Airline mailers can only be used once now. It’s possible that Barclays is gearing up to launch a 70,000 mile Arrival point offer and Citi has made some minor changes to it’s card line up including a name change on the Citi ThankYou Premier to just Citi premier.

It was a very busy week for bank account bonuses. Three great offers have already expired that were added last week (Fidelity $100, Ally up to $1,000 and Umpqua $200 bonus). Don’t miss another deal again by either following us on Twitter or signing up for free instant notifications. Thankfully some great deals are still alive, Chase launched Sapphire Banking publicly with a 60,000 Chase UR sign up/upgrade offer. TIAA Bank has a $150 checking & $200 money market bonus. Wells Fargo also has a massive $1,000 business checking in branch bonus. We also added plenty of new region specific deals that can be viewed below.

Personal Capital is offering an easy and free $100 Amazon gift card when you link an investment account. Swell Investing is also offering a $50 referral bonus. Swagbucks users can get $40 back for signing up for Gillette on demand and it’s working for people that have already done the deal before. Starbucks is offering a $5 bonus gift card when you purchase a $10 gift card and finally you can get up to 1,000 miles for signing up for a $1 Barron’s subscription.
