The card&#8217;s important vitals:<br><br>&#8211; No annual fee<br>&#8211; 3% back on Samsung Wallet purchases, unlimited<br>&#8211; 1% back on general purchases<br><br>Early adopter data points suggest this card is being approved even at lol\/24, but credit lines are small. The fact that Samsung is behind this rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/occ-shutters-and-places-smallest-4111262\/\">a bank with $3.73 million in total assets<\/a> means it might last for a while.

The most interesting is probably double redeemable miles on Main Classic or Main Extra tickets booked by tomorrow.<br \/><br \/>In case you&#8217;re wondering, that&#8217;s only 2\/9 or 2\/11 (depending on the flight) of the types of tickets available. Classic.<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotels.com\/lp\/b\/deals?siteid=300000001&amp;locale=en_US\u00a4cy=USD\">Hotels.com has an offer for $20 extra OneKey cash for bookings made by Sunday<\/a>. The terms say it&#8217;s only valid for their intended recipients, but it will likely work for everyone.
