Best Posts Last Week: Two 100,000+ Point Offers, $100 Swagbucks Bonus & More

American Express is offering a bonus of 110,000 points on the Business Platinum card. Seems to be easier to get the 100,000 point offer + 10x on gas/grocery for the personal Platinum card currently as well. A number of credit unions are offering the Elan Max Cash Preferred card that allows you to pick two categories to earn 5% in (basically a clone of the U.S. Bank Cash+ card). The American Express Gold $10 Uber credit is set to go live on February 1st.

Marcus is offering new & existing users a $100 savings bonus. Alliant is offering a $100 savings bonus as well. The $100 nationwide Current bonus has also returned. A lot of state specific bank bonuses have been added that can also be reviewed below.

Swagbucks is offering a $100 bonus when you use Goodrx ($5.95 cost). UberEats & GrubHub have launched some new promo codes. There is an AmEx offer for $60 back when you spend $300+ at Hyatt. Chick-filA is offering a free chocolate fudge brownie through January.
