Blueprint for Financial Prosperity has a list of six credit cards giving away a combined $700 in free money after your first purchase. It’s a combination of points (that can be converted to gift cards) and statement credits but it’s an easy $700 to be made if you have a good enough credit history to be accepted.

Holy crap, have you seen the latest $250 American Express promotion for signing up to their Business Gold Rewards cards? It’s ridiculous and is shades of the Chase Freedom promotion they ran a few months ago.

Basically you can get $250 in gift cards or a free airline ticket after your first purchase, for businesses only (anyone is a sole proprietorship, so it’s easy to sign up with your SSN), so there’s no reason not to snatch this up!
