Last week saw American Express release the updated version of the Business gold card, thankfully we were able to warn readers before the card was relaunched and many signed up for a sign up bonus of 65,000/75,000 points as the new card doesn’t come with any points sign up bonus at all. We answered some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the updated card here. American Express also added Avianca as a 1:1 transfer partner and made it possible to choose a default card for online login.
It’s now possible to get 60,000 points on the Citi Premier card, this time through a referral. Unfortunately that’s where the good news stops when it comes to Citi, the Prestige changes were confirmed and to make matters worse the grandfathering in of the $350 annual fee for previous gold customers will be removed. Citi also announced that you will no longer be able to book via concierge (e.g no points on bookings).
It was a good week for bank account bonuses. BBVA Compass has a nationwide $200 checking & $50 savings bonus. Regions Bank has a $300 business checking bonus that might be stackable with the $150 referral offer for those in AL, AR, FL, GA, IL, IN, IA, KY, LA, MS, MO, NC, SC, TN & TX. There are also a number of state restricted bonuses viewable below.
You can currently make a quick $35 back with Swagbucks and Dollar Shave Club. Google Express is offering new customers 20% off their first three orders (max discount of $20 per order). Bank of America has an insane spending offer on the Amtrak card offering 3x points on all purchases with no cap. We looked at common loyalty point/miles valuation mistakes and how to avoid them and chuck updated our full list of card linked rewards programs.
As always a lot of the good deals have already expired, make sure to either follow us on Twitter, get instant notifications or get daily e-mail updates so you don’t miss any deals. If we missed any deals or you have an idea for a post, please let us know ([email protected] or [email protected]).
