Heads up, bonus hunters! The Found checking account bonus, offering an easy $125, has been extended again, this time to December 31, 2025. If you missed it before, now's your chance to snag some free money.
Here's the deal: Open a new Found checking account and deposit $5,000 within 30 days, then keep that balance for another 30 days. Boom, $125 is yours! Found is a business banking account but is available to freelancers, gig workers, and side hustlers. There are no monthly fees to worry about. Just remember that bank bonuses are considered interest income, so you'll need to report it on your taxes.
Why does this matter to you? Because free money is always good! Bank bonuses are a great way to pad your travel fund, and this one is relatively easy to achieve. Plus, Found doesn't seem to have an early account termination fee, so you can close the account after you get the bonus if you wish. Just be aware that opening too many bank accounts in a short period can impact your ChexSystems report, so pace yourself.
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.
