Best Posts Last Week: U.S. Bank $300 Checking Bonus, Hyatt Award Changes & Easy Money Makers

It was a slow week in regards to credit cards last week, but we got confirmation that Emirates would be launching a co-branded credit card with Barclays sometime this year. It’s also possible to get matched to the 100,000 Southwest business performance card bonus we mentioned last week. Unfortunately the Ebates 3% card will only earn 1% on Raise, giftcardmall and giftcards.com.

U.S. Bank has launched a new $300 checking bonus, Wells Fargo has brought back $300 business checking bonus as well. Dollar Bank is offering a $400 bonus for those in OH, VA & PA and Banterra bank has a $250 bonus for those in IL, IN, KY, MO. Some people have received offers for the new Citibank high yield account that also offers American Airline miles as a bonus.

SmileDirectClub is offering a $50 Amazon gift card when you set up a free scan, up from $25 previously offered. You can get $35 total from Stash Invest & Swagbucks. Swagbucks also has a $5 money maker and you can get some free dog food and a $8 money maker when you join AARP. Southwest is also allowing people to change flights for no fee (even if there is a price difference between the flights). There is an AmEx offer where you can save 20% on Boxed.com. Hyatt also announced 2020 property award category changes.

As an occasional Reddit user, “username checks out”, so I’m impressed. But the point was that not everyone likes, or needs, dog food. Enjoy!

I opened my US Bank account yesterday, no problem. I live outside of Tucson and they have several branches in Tucson. My take from comments is folks are denied in states where they have no branches, US Bank is not a nationwide bank.
My only grumble is the short 60 days after account opening to make the $2k in DDs. My approval email says that to create an online account I’ll need my debit card # & PIN, that’s at least 2 weeks, making even a real payroll DD hard to get in time. Thankfully from the DPs most any ACH deposit seems to qualify.
