Our Verdict

This offer kind of sucks compared to the 90,000 in branch offer offered last year. It has been available since August but I didn’t really think it was worth posting about. Some readers think it’s worth it and has been posted elsewhere. We won’t add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
