Tuesday Quad: Increased Sign-up Bonuses, Synapse Followup, and a Transfer Bonus

1. There’s a new public link on the front page of Delta.com for increased sign-up bonuses on American Express cobranded cards. There’s a second link buried at creditcard.delta.com too, so try both if one doesn’t work. Unlike most times when the blog-o-sphere is saying “more people targeted” because someone said so on reddit, this time it actually appears to be true; No, I’m not bitter, you’re bitter! Anyway:
   
   – Reserve: 100,000 miles after $5,000 spend in six months
   – Platinum: 90,000 miles after $3,000 spend in six months
   – Gold: 70,000 miles after $2,000 spend in six months
   – Reserve Business: 110,000 miles after $10,000 spend in six months
   – Platinum Business: 100,000 miles after $6,000 spend in six months
   – Gold Business: 80,000 miles after 4 $4,00 spend in six months, waived annual fee
   
   If you get the popup, try the other link which often has different popup criteria.
   
2. If you have money locked up with Yotta or Juno thanks to the Synapse FinTech collapse, check your email for a payout link from one of the underlying banks that was servicing accounts, Evolve. There are multiple reports of payments being correct and several where people are short, at least one by over $94,000, though it’s not clear whether that money was put at Evolve by Synapse or put somewhere else. To find the email, look for one of:
   
   – Email: [email protected]
   – Subject: Return of Synapse Brokerage’s End User Funds
   
   Don’t forget to add “in:anywhere” to your search to look through spam and other folders in your inbox. If you don’t have your email yet, there’s a completely unverified rumor that it may take until the 16th to send all emails.
   
   In related news, apparently Evolve’s CTO and CEO/President have been terminated. I’m not saying that’s unjustified especially after Evolve leaked customer information in a data-breach, but it’s strange to see everyone going after Evolve leadership instead of Synapse leadership.
   
3. Capital One has a 20% transfer bonus to British Airways Avios, and by extension all airlines that use Avios through December 1. (Thanks to jtevy)
   
4. The American Express Centurion Business card will have a cap on its 50% airfare booking rebate at 3 Million rebated points annually starting on February 1.

You can’t hold someone accountable if they can’t account I guess?
