Sunday Round Up: May 25th Free Points: 1,000 IHG Points, 300 Lufthansa & Bank Bonuses

This was a fairly slow news week so there isn’t a lot to report. You can still earn 1,000 free IHG points by watching a simple video. You can grab another 300 free points from Lufthansa by linking their facebook app. For those looking for free points/miles we’ve made it easier by creating their own category on the blog.

We took this opportunity to add a lot more bank account promotions and hope to have all existing promotions added within two weeks, after that the number being added will drop dramatically. For those engaging in manufactured spending there is currently a fee free visa gift card opportunity for those in specific areas.

From a consumer advocate stand point it was a disappointing week. After originally saying no data was lost, eBay is now saying that consumer data was lost and none of it is financial and as such they won’t offer free credit monitoring. Experian tried to put the onus on providing free credit scores with credit card companies
