  1. The Synchrony Rakuten card<\/a> (a nearly defunct MEAB Unsung Hero<\/a>) is being converted to a 2% cashback everywhere Mastercard. This is interesting for at least two reasons:\n

    \u2013 You can cycle Synchrony cards to an extent without being shutdown (unlike the Citi Double Cash for example)
    \u2013 Synchrony is offering a $100 statement credit after $1,000 in spend within three months<\/li>\n

  2. Do this now: Register for Hyatt\u2019s Q4 promotion<\/a> for double points on all two night or longer stays between September 15 and December 20, and double elite qualifying nights at several Caribbean all-inclusive resorts. (Thanks to iheartpoints)<\/li>\n
  3. HSBC has a $500 new checking account bonus<\/a>. To get the bonus, you\u2019ll need an aggregate of $10,000 in direct deposits for three months in a row, but with HSBC almost anything counts as a direct deposit so an ACH of $1,000 in and out 10 times is probably enough to trigger it. HSBC will charge fees without a big balance after 6 months, but you can have your bonus and convert or close the checking account long before that takes effect. (For getting \u201clegitimate\u201d looking direct deposits without actually using an employer direct deposit, check out Episode 28 of the Daily Churn Podcast<\/a>)\n

    Miles was the first to note that this bonus now has a once per-lifetime language, but my somewhat educated guess is that HSBC doesn\u2019t enforce that.<\/li>\n

  4. The Citi Shop Your Way Rewards Mastercard<\/a> (another MEAB Unsung Hero<\/a>) has been sending out another round of targeted spend offers through September 14, including:\n

    \u2013 $70 statement credit after $1,000 in spend
    \u2013 $70 statement credit after $2,000 in spend
    \u2013 10,000 ThankYou points after $1,2000 in spend<\/p>\n

    There seem to be other variations of these too, and on this round some registrations are coming via USPS mail rather than email, so keep an eye on both your mailbox and your inbox.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n

    Not to be outdone by HSBC, Vantage West brings a compelling checking account offer<\/a> to the table, literally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
