G.E. Miller — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 21:51:41 +0000

Great news for anyone who makes online purchases and likes cash back rewards – Capital One Shopping recently increased their referral welcome bonus to $80 in shopper rewards. The typical Capital One Shopping referral welcome bonus offer is usually around $40 or $45, but it was recently increased to an outstanding $80, on just $10 in spend! A similar all-time best Rakuten portal referral bonus promo typically results in a $50 bonus on $50 in purchases for comparison (and I’d also recommend taking advantage of that if you have not already). Note: these offers do change frequently. Read on for

Amazon’s “Prime Day” is back June 23rd through June 26th (end of day).

Costco is offering bonus Digital Costco Shop Cards with new annual “Gold Star” Costco memberships (which currently cost $65) or “Executive” memberships (currently costs $130).

This offer is available to those who have not yet had Costco membership or their membership expired 18+ months ago (not member renewals or upgrades). Costco almost never offers membership discount promotions or deals like this – so this is an excellent offer if you’re eligible. Read on for more details

In May, Sam’s club increased membership prices for both membership levels for the first time since October of 2022. The new prices are in line with what other membership clubs like Costco and BJ’s Wholesale charge (Costco’s fees are still higher at $65 and $130 per year after their most recent price increase) – but it’s never a great time to get a recurring price increase.

This maximum HSA contribution overview has been updated with information for the 2026 and 2027 tax years. If you’ve been following this site, you know that I have long been a big fan of health savings accounts (HSAs) and have made the maximum annual HSA contribution when I was eligible to do so. There is good news on that front. The IRS has announced an inflation adjustment increase to the maximum HSA contribution amounts for 2027, and there will be increases over the maximum HSA contributions for 2026 that were announced previously. Both the individual and family HSA contribution maximum
