Chime users, check your email! It looks like Chime is sending out targeted offers to existing users, and some of them are super easy ways to snag some extra cash. We're talking free money just for logging in, making a qualifying deposit, or sending money to a friend.

Specifically, keep an eye out for emails with subjects like "Open app; make a buck 💵", "Get paid to deposit", and "Our gift to you: Pay Anyone $10+—get $10". The offers include: $1 just for logging into the app, $5 for depositing $200 or more within 30 days, and a sweet $10 for sending $10 or more to anyone with the gift emoji in the note (limited to the first 70,000 users, so act fast!).

Why does this matter to you? Because free money is always a good thing! It's a super easy way to pad your travel fund without any extra effort. Log into your Chime account and see if you were targeted and take advantage of these offers!

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.
