- US Bank launched the stupidly named Smartly card yesterday and is now accepting applications, and unfortunately applications for the Altitude Reserve have been taken down.
The Smartly card is a 2-4% everywhere uncapped cash back card, with the cash back amount determined by the assets held in either a Smartly savings or a self-directed investment account. $100,000 average funds over 90 days in either is enough for 4%, and you have to have a Smartly savings account open even if most of the assets are in an investment account to qualify. - Wells Fargo Deals has new travel-related card linked offers:
– 5% back on British Airways through November 29, up to $45 back
– 10% back at Renaissance Hotels through November 18, up to $75 back
– 10% back at Fairfield Inn through December 1, up to $38 back
– 10% back at Westin through December 1, up to $68 back
Gamers gonna blah blah blah gift cards at the front desk or blah blah blah blah something else. (Thanks to Mike at Cheapskate Travel) - The Citi Double Cash has $100 off of $300+ in hotels booked through the Citi travel portal by December 6. I don’t think this is targeted, but double check that you see a banner under the search page advertising the credit after selecting your Double Cash card.
- Chase has several targeted offers for $400+ in hotel booked through the Chase portal:
– 20,000 Ultimate Rewards with $500+ spend
– 10,000 Ultimate Rewards after $400+ spend
– $100 statement credit after $400+ spend
Book by January 31, 2025 for stays through August 31, 2025.
