Happy Wednesday! There are a couple of items worthy of your attention today:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> You can score 7,500 American Express Membership Rewards points with the Rakuten portal by opening a Betterment Checking or Cash Reserve account<\/a> and funding it with $1.00 or $10.00, respectively. In the grand scheme of things, this is a great offer for just transferring a buck and not worrying about it ever again. Or you can hang on to the account and use it for it\u2019s world-wide ATM fee reimbursements.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a Rakuten account, use a friend\u2019s referral link so they get a bonus, or use George\u2019s<\/a> at TravelBloggerBuzz<\/a>. Also, make sure you\u2019ve converted your Rakuten account to a membership rewards<\/a> earning account.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Do you want a Southwest Companion pass with a single credit card? The 100,000 point Southwest Performance Business card<\/a> is still kicking around, and that sign up bonus by itself will earn you a companion pass. Now that Southwest flies to Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, and all over the Caribbean, I\u2019m actually interested in it even though I don\u2019t like flying Southwest (call me old fashioned because I like seat assignments and potential first class upgrades. I also like when we used to wear an onion around our belts, which was the style at the time). Combine this with yesterday\u2019s green or black star Chase offers <\/a>to bypass 5\/24 if needed.<\/p>\n
