It's been quite a while since I reported on the various free money promotions around the web. So, today, I wanted to fill you in on all the deals I've caught wind of in the past few months so that you can take advantage of them, if you are a finance nerd like me!

Listed below are the free money bonuses currently available for signing up for no annual fee credit cards.

  •  Citi Dividend Platinum Select Credit Card
    • Get $100 cash back after spending $500 in the first three months of opening the account.
    • 1% cash back on all purchases.
    • Click here to apply.

  • Chase Freedom Credit Card
    • Get $100 cash back after spending $500 in the first three months of opening the account.
    • 1% cash back on all purchases.
    • 5% cash back in rotating categories throughout the year.
    • Click here to apply.

  • Discover More Credit Card
    • $50 cash back after making $250 of purchases in your first three months.
    • 5% cash back in popular rotating categories throughout the year.
    • Click here to apply.

  • BankAmericard Cash Rewards Visa Credit Card
    • $50 cash back after spending $100 in retail purchases in your first two months.
    • Click here to apply.

  • Bank of America Accelerated Cash Rewards AMEX Credit Card

Remember: When you sign up for these credit cards to get the free money bonus offers, follow the instructions below to avoid damage to your credit score:

  • Keep the credit card account open after completing the initial requirements for the free money promotion. 
  • Schedule an automatic, small charge each month on the credit card to extend your credit history. This benefits your credit score.
    • And, going along with the second piece of advice above, schedule an automatic payment of your credit card balance each from your checking account.
  • Lastly, I would not recommend signing up for all of these at once. Typically, signing up for a new credit card every 3 months is considered "almost too much." I would stick to doing two per year or so.  


How about you all? Have you taken advantage of any free money promotions lately? Which ones were they?
