Tuesday: Great Credit Card Offers, A Devaluation Offers Relief, and Another Whah-Whah Trombone

  1. The Venmo app has a targeted offer for unlimited triple rewards for the first six months, which means 9% cash back on your top category. A couple of notes:

    – Synchrony will axe you if you cycle this thing, though it may take a few months
    – Categories on this card are weird, but typically weird good not weird bad
    – The targeted offer isn’t at Venmo.com

    Your Venmo account will survive if your card is axed. Oh, and at the risk of taking more flak, the sites that “always show you the best offer” don’t seem to be showing this offer… yet?
  2. The Bank of America personal Alaska Atmos cards have increased sign-up bonuses:

    Ascent: 85,000 miles after $4,500 spend in 120 days.
    Summit: 100,000 miles after $6,000 spend in 90 days

    Why no business? I’m not sure, wait for April 1 I guess.
  3. American Express’s Platinum card is removing its semi-annual $50 credit starting on July 1. I don’t know about you, I’m quite happy about this devaluation.
  4. BetMGM credit card junkies should queue up to play the whah-whah trombone, since they won’t be accepting new credit cards in the near future, starting *checks notes* err yesterday, though Apple Pay will continue to be a hole for now. (Thanks to David)
