Best Posts Last Week: Uber Plus Passes, New 50k Bonus & $225 Nationwide Checking Bonus

Lots of good credit card news this week Discover released their Q2 categories for this year, we found a working Citi TYP preferred link with no 24 month language and NASA FCU brought back the 50k point bonus on their Star Trek Card. If you’re interested in the Chase Ritz-Carlton card I’d recommend getting it sooner rather than later as the 3 free night landing page has disappearing but the application link still works. Chase has also brought back the 50-70k + $50 offers on the United personal & business cards.

Start of the year has also been amazing for checking account promotions and last week was no different. Santander has a $225 checking bonus, Huntington brought back their $500 business & $200 personal bonuses and there were lots of other state specific bonuses that you can view below.

As always, a lot of the good deals have now expired. Make sure to follow us on Twitter so you don’t miss any deals in the future (plenty of other good reasons to follow us as well). Uber Plus passes are available in some cities and are great value if you use Uber on even a semi regular basis. American Airlines & United are both offering shopping portal bonuses as well. In less good news, Hilton will be eliminating award charts and this can’t be good news for consumers.
