Best Posts Last Week: New Mastercard Benefits, $1,600 In Nationwide Bank Bonuses & More

Mastercard has announced a number of new benefits for World & World Elite cardholders including Lyft & Postmates credits and cell phone insurance, they are also removing some other benefits that were previously offered. We have fully updated our best credit card bonus page for April. Chuck looked at whether it’s possible to get an upgrade bonus on American Express cards more than once. It looks like a product refresh on the AmEx EveryDay card might be incoming as well.

A lot of nationwide bank bonuses were added last week. Chase $600 personal checking and savings bonus has been extended, the $300 Chase business checking offer is also available. Wells Fargo $400 personal checking bonus has been extended and we also have a new BBVA $100 savings bonus and Xceed Financial Credit Union $200 bonus. A lot of state specific bonuses were also added, a full list of those can be viewed below. This has lead to a major update of the best bank bonus page for April.

We’ve updated our complete guide to saving money on Amazon, that page also includes a new deal for 3 months of Prime for free for some American Express cardholders. Foundersclub is also offering a free three month membership. A few good AmEx offers were added last week with 10% back on insurance, $5 when you spend $25+ at Warehouse clubs, $10 back when you spend $75+ at home improvement stores and an Apple Pay offer where you can get a total of $6 back.

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]).
