I like to collect easy bank account bonuses to offset the costs of travel that I can’t use miles or points for.  Opening new bank accounts are also a good way to meet credit card new sign up bonus spending requirements – some banks allow you to fund a new account with a credit card.

Below is a list of bonuses I am working on or received so far this year.
