First Bank is sending out emails with a crazy-good offer for their Shop Your Way Rewards Card! If you're targeted (check your email for the subject line "Don’t Miss Out on Your Shop Your Way Rewards – Act Now!" or log in to your account), you can score a whopping 500,000 points after spending $5,000 in the first three months. That's basically $500 just for using the card for your everyday purchases!
This is a no-annual-fee card, so it's a low-risk way to grab a quick $500. Plus, the card earns 5% back on gas, EV charging, tolls, car washes, transit, and rideshare, and 3% back on dining, groceries, and travel. If you're already spending money in those categories, this card could be a no-brainer. Keep an eye out, because, like the old SYWR card, there may be additional bonus opportunities in the future. Don't miss out on this easy way to boost your rewards balance!
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.
