Discover It Credit Card $50 Authorized User Bonus (Targeted Offer, SSN Required)

Good afternoon everyone, I just received the following email from Discover regarding my Discover It Credit Card. If I add an authorized user to my account and the authorized user makes a purchase by October 5, 2024, I will get a $50 bonus.  I believe this offer is targeted since I didn’t see any mention of the authorized user bonus when I signed into my Discover online account and went to the Authorized User page. Last week, Discover had a similar promo with their referral program: Discover It Credit Card $100 Referral Offer, Earn up to $500 / Year (Referral Links Needed).  If you have a Discover It, please share your referral link in that post.

3 Buy Miles / Points Promos Ending Soon: United (90%), Virgin Atlantic (60%) & Air France / KLM (40%)

Good afternoon everyone.  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 3 offers that end in the next few days.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are the 3 offers that end soon.

Up first, United Airlines is offering up to a 90% bonus, depending on the number of United Airlines MileagePlus Miles you purchase.  This offer expires today – July 31.

Wells Fargo Increasing Out-of-Network ATM Cash Withdrawal Fee from $2.50 to $3.00 (Effective 9/1/24)

Good afternoon everyone.  I was reviewing my recent Wells Fargo checking account statement and noticed a few updates in the IMPORTANT ACCOUNT INFORMATION section at the end of my statement.  There is good news if you use non-Wells Fargo ATMs for balance inquiries and funds transfers.  I never knew you could do these with out-of-network ATMs (I would just use the Wells Fargo app or website to do that), but the $2.50 fee is going away, effective September 1, 2024.

Unfortunately, there is also bad news if you use out-of-network ATMs for cash withdrawals.  Effective September 1, 2024, the fee is increasing from $2.50 to $3.00 per transaction, and that doesn’t include the fee that the ATM owner will charge you either.
