Best Posts Last Week: Three New Credit Cards, $20 In Promo Credits For Discover Cardholders & What To Do About Equifax Data Breach

Last week saw the introduction of three new credit cads from three different issuers. Chase launched the United TravelBank card, American Express launched the Blue Delta SkyMiles & Navy Federal launched the More Rewards American Express card. Unfortunately none of the cards are that exciting.

Thankfully there was also some increased sign up bonuses on credit cards as well. You can get 100,000 points on the IHG card by calling in and U.S. Bank is offering $125 bonus + an extra 0.5% cash back on all purchases on the Cash+ for the first year. American Express has also brought back the 100,000 point + free night after anniversary bonus on the Hilton Surpass, highest bonus offered on this card. There was also two targeted promotions of interest from American Express: a spending bonus for business cards & 10,000 points for enrolling in pay over time.

It was a slow week for bank account bonuses, but that was mostly because I’m still not caught up after my vacation. If you received a 1099 on a Citibank American Airlines bonus there is a class action settlement for you. M&T Bank also have another $200 bonus, but we’re still waiting for more data points.

In terms of deals Amazon is giving you $10 if you change your 1 click settings to a Discover card and the Kohl’s $10 promotion for Discover cardholders is also back. Orbitz is offering $30 off $100+ hotel bookings and Chick-fil-A is offering a free breakfast sandwich or bowl. Plenty of other great deals below. There was a massive data breach at Equifax affecting up to 143 million Americans. Read our guide on what you should be doing to protect yourself here.
