Best Posts Last Week: Rakuten Adds Citi, $250 Checking Referral & 50% Off Amazon

Rakuten has started offering additional bonuses on Citi cards with a $100 bonus on the Citi Strata Premier. Normally we see Rakuten increase these bonuses over time so it might be worth waiting. Rakuten has also increased the portal rates on Bank of America cards to $200/$275 and a bonus on Chase Ink Unlimited cards. American Express can now see across logins and Membership Rewards accounts. Q3 5% rotating categories are now available for activation.

Lake Michigan is offering a $250 referral checking bonus. Ameriprise has a $1,000 savings and $400 checking bonus for existing customers. We have updated the best brokerage bonus page as well. A lot more nationwide and state specific checking bonuses were added that can be viewed below. 

We’ve updated the Paze $10 back when you spend $10+ what’s left page with more options including a $10 donation to St. Jude’s. Amazon is offering up to 50% off when using American Express rewards dollars and up to 40% off when using Membership Rewards points. You can get two months of Paramount+ for $0.99 per month for two months. 

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