Best Posts Last Week: Two New 75,000 Point Offers, $500 Nationwide Bank Bonuses & Free $10 From Amazon

A lot of the big credit card news came out of American Express this week. They updated their terms to add provisions to penalize those they believe are gaming the sign up bonus system. In better news it’s possible to get a 75,000 point offer on the Business Gold Rewards card, they also sent out a targeted offer for spending offer of 50,000 points for existing users of this card as well. It’s worth checking to see if you received an offer for adding an authorized user, as they sent out lots of these offers recently on different cards. There is also a reliable rumor that there is a new no annual fee Delta card coming.

We fully updated our best credit card offers page. This includes the new Citi Prestige 75,000 point offer and the Chase Hyatt 40,000 + 5,000 + $50 offer. Speaking of Chase they updated the language on their application pages to state they won’t even approve you for a card if you’ve received the sign up bonus in the last 24 months. It also seems highly likely that Bank of America will be launching a new premium card as we confirmed this with one of our insiders.

It was a relatively slow week for bank account bonuses. It’s worth checking out the Capital One $300 checking & $200 Money market account bonus available nationwide. We also added some more restrictive bonuses, you can view all of those below.

It’s your absolute last chance to get a free $10 Amazon credit when you do a $20 Amazon Cash Reload. American Express sent out some great targeted offers for 10%/10x off on Cable or Satellite bills and also on cell phone bills. Remember these can usually be prepaid. IHG PointsBreak list has been released and will be available for booking soon. There is also a $20 money maker from Proactiv and Swagbucks. Last but not least Southwest, Delta & American Airlines all currently have shopping portal bonuses. A full list of all the deals and news we posted can be viewed below.
