Best Posts Last Week: Southwest 100,000 Bonus, Marriott Massive Devaluation & More

Barclays has increased the sign up bonus on the jetBlue plus card to 60,000 points. Chase has increased the sign up bonus on the business performance card to 100,000 points, but it requires a huge $25,000 in spend. The upside to that is that with the points earned from that spend you have enough points for the Southwest companion pass. Chase has also targeted more people for selected for you/just for you offers that bypass 5/24.

It was a slower week for bank account bonuses, at least nation wide ones with only Simple Finance & an extended Discover savings bonus being offered. There were some good state specific bonuses offered with BBVA offering a $400 checking bonus for those in CA, CO, AZ & NM. Fulton Bank has a $200 checking bonus with no direct deposit requirement for those in DE, DC, MD, NJ, PA, & VA. A full list of all the state specific bonuses can be viewed below.

Alaska Airlines has a good promotion where you can earn 10,000 miles per partner round trip. Gemini is offering up to $30 in Bitcoin for free. SmileDirectClub is offering a $25 gift card when you set up a 30 minute 3D scan. DoorDash has a 25% off code and Amazon has a wedding registry completion discount of up to 20%.

Marriott made two announcements, the first is that 2,194 properties will be changing category with a massive 1,687 increasing in price and 507 decreasing. They are also adding more exceptions to their ‘no blackout dates’ policy.
