Heads up, bonus hunters! Huntington Bank is set to merge with Cadence Bank, and this is good news for those of us who love scoring easy cash with bank account bonuses. The deal should finalize sometime in early 2026, with branches getting a makeover (new signs and all!) shortly after.
Why should you care? Well, Cadence Bank has a pretty wide reach across the Southeast. This merger means Huntington will be popping up in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee, adding to their existing presence (including Texas, which they recently entered). Huntington is known for consistently offering sweet bank bonuses, and with this expansion, more of us will be eligible to snag those deals. Keep an eye out on AwardTrail for the latest updates!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
