Mother\u2019s Day deals have started, and as a result non-Mother\u2019s Day things have to try harder to stand-out. To wit:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do this now: Register for Hilton\u2019s new promotion<\/a>. You\u2019ll earn double points on one or two night stays and triple on three night or longer stays between today and September 5.<\/li>\n
  2. There\u2019s a 25% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou Points to AirFrance\/KLM FlyingBlue<\/a> through May 20. The best use of FlyingBlue is either economy or business class between North America and Europe. A few FlyingBlue notes:\n

    \u2013 You can find business class flights at a price-point of about 52,000 miles each way regularly
    \u2013 They run monthly     promo awards<\/a> which make certain city pairs even cheaper
    \u2013 Check for onward connections to other cities to lower the cost of an award ticket (e.x., ORD-AMS-BRU)
    \u2013 Check for train connections to other cities to lower the cost of an award ticket (e.x., LAX-CDG-ZYR)
    \u2013 It used to be hard to reset the expiration of transferred miles,     but that\u2019s no longer the case<\/a><\/li>\n

  3. US Bank has an interesting new checking account sign-up bonus for existing business credit card holders. You\u2019ll earn $500 for opening a new business checking account<\/a>, depositing $5,000, keeping the funds in-place for 90 days, and making 5 qualifying transactions in the same timeframe (so, five $0.50 Amazon balance reloads) with promo code CKEUM8Z<\/em>. The effective APR here is 40% over 90 days.\n

    The offer doesn\u2019t seem to have any language about only being available to new business checking account customers<\/s>, but it does<\/em> have language saying it\u2019s only available to the addressee and is non-transferrable. Because it\u2019s on a public web-page with a normal URL and a public promotion code on the same page, I\u2019d guess it\u2019ll work for anyone. (Thanks to Astheworldchurnd<\/a>)<\/p>\n

    UPDATE:<\/em> The language was updated to mention that it\u2019s only available for new business checking account customers, thanks to Jay for letting me know.<\/li>\n

  4. Capital One 360 has a $450 sign-up bonus for opening a new \u201c360 Performance Savings\u201d account<\/a> with promo code SAVE22<\/em>, depositing $50,000 or more in funds during funding, and keeping the funds in-place for 90 days. I calculated the effective savings rate of the bonus and it came out to 3.60% APR or 360 basis points<\/a>, I see what you did there Capital One and I guess I\u2019m mildly amused?\n

    In today\u2019s environment this deal is only mediocre, but having the account is likely to increase your approval odds for a Capital One credit card which is why it bubbled up. (Thanks to DDG<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Happy Monday!<\/p>\n
