At the start of every month, I like to take a step back and thank all the readers who provided helpful comments the previous month. I also like to highlight the best comments from that month and to reward those readers who did leave one of the best comments. The aim is to hopefully help readers that might have missed these great comments by highlighting them here and also to give each reader a $10 Amazon gift card that is mentioned below.
Bank Bonuses
- JASON sharing his experiences with the People’s United Bank $175 checking bonus. Comments like this make it so much easier for other readers to decide if a bonus is worth it or not.
- Sulj sharing this little nugget for Huntington Bank. Only way to find out is to try.
Credit Cards
- Darvin providing a useful comment on what counts for the Bank of America $100 travel credit.
- ML sharing a tip for Chase Pay. A lot of people had this issue, so nice to see somebody giving a solution.
Deals
- Emily sharing that a gift card purchase did work for an American Express offer. Somebody always has to be the test dummy and it’s great when readers just give things a go and report back.
- Stephen letting us know the maximum credit card limit for Google Express and how to get around it.
- LAG giving us the low down on a target offer.
- sloebrake reminding people to take advantage of free after rebate offers on newegg when trying to stack deals for Masterpass promotion.
Misc
- Credit sharing this wisdom on Hilton elite status: “In ten years they will have zirconium, molybdenum, plutonium, etc over diamond. Diamond means you don’t need to bring your own bath soap.”
Thanks again to everybody who left a comment last month and congratulations to the readers above who left one of the best comments. I’ll be in touch in the next couple of days with your reward of a $10 Amazon gift card.
This is one of the most useful posts you make. It always points out important things I would have never otherwise seen. To me the Huntington Bank 1 year limit not being enforced is pretty big (considering they offer some large bonuses). So just curious, is that something you would you point out in future Huntington Bank posts (maybe a link to the comment), or would my only way to know that be to read that comment?
I’ll probably point it out once we have more datapoints, for now it’ll just be that comment. I also usually tweet out stuff like this as well so that is another way to stay informed.
