Best Weekly Deals 12/8/25

Capital One shopping is a “shopping portal” that gives you an additional discount on select retailers when you go to their portal or add their plugin to your browser. They are currently targeting some users (including me) with $250 off $250 on your first ticket purchase through their portal. There are also indications that this deal will stack with Chase Sapphire Reserve’s $150 Stubhub credit. To get the deal you first have to sign up for Capital One shopping then if you are targeted you will see the offer on your home screen if you scroll down to the box that says “claim your bonus offers”. See the screenshots below. Next search for the event you are looking for in the search box, then select the location you are looking for, and then which ticket vendor you want to use. Under rewards rate it should say “earn $250 when you spend $250”. Continue with whatever ticket vendor you choose. Make sure the total amount exceeds $250 BEFORE fees or it won’t trigger the bonus.

• Sign-up bonus: 2% on deposited/transferred amount
• Fees: $75 on ACAT out
• Requirements: Maintain the funds/securities for 13 months, must be a new customer or targeted existing customer

Webull currently has the best brokerage bonus on the market for cash/margin accounts. The bonus indicates that this is only for new users, but if you already have an account check your email or the promotions section to see if you were targeted. Deposit or transfer securities and maintain at least $2,000 for 13 months and you will receive a 2% bonus up to a maximum of $40,000. The bonus is paid in 12 equal installments starting on the 35^th day so you have to maintain the funds for 13 months. Market fluctuations do not count against you so for example if you transfer securities worth $200k and the market goes down 10% you will still receive 2% or $4,000 on the original $200k. If you plan on doing the promotion and then withdrawing or transferring your securities after 13 months, there is a $75 fee for transferring out your securities. Sometimes the receiving broker will cover this fee for you.

Examples of deposits/transfers and bonus:

• $10,000+, $200
• $25,000+, $500
• $100,000+, $2,000
• $1,000,000+, $20,000
• $2,000,000+, $40,000  

• Sign-up bonus: 2% on deposited/transferred amount up to $99,999, an additional 1% on deposits/transfers over $100,000 with a max of $1,000, up to $300 in ACAT transfer fee reimbursement
• Fees: $50 on ACAT out
• Requirements: Maintain the funds/securities for 12 months, must be a new customer of TradeUp IRAs

Tradeup currently has the best brokerage bonus on the market for Individual Retirement (IRA) accounts. Deposit or transfer up to $50,000 of securities and get a 2% bonus. If you deposit $100,000 you get an additional 1% or $1,000 for a total bonus of $2,000 on $100,000. The bonus is paid in 3 installments over a 12 month period. To qualify for the $300 transfer credit, you must email a copy of your most recent statement from the delivering brokerage account with evidence of a transfer fee [email protected]. TradeUp also matches up to 3% of your IRA contributions up to the IRS maximum contribution in 2025 of $7,000 or $210.

The bonus is for new customers, but their customer support indicated that people with existing brokerage accounts, but not IRA accounts should be eligible. I am not definitively certain they will honor the promotion if this is the case, but it appears that they will. 

There is also another TradeUp bonus where you get free shares of CRCL  that allegedly stacks with the bonus above, but it is not 100% clear that is the case so proceed at your own risk.

• Sign-up bonus: $100 in bitcoin
• Fees: None
• Requirements: Maintain the deposit for 90 days

Wisdom Tree Prime is the ETF provider Wisdom Tree’s entry into the crypto space. This is a really easy to do bonus that simply requires you to deposit $1,000, sell the $100 in Bitcoin bonus after it posts, and then withdraw it 90 days later.

If you apply for and receive a credit card in December you have the opportunity to get 3 calendar year bonuses whereas normally you can get 2. This is because credit card issuers typically give you 30 days after your annual fee posts to cancel. You will get the calendar year benefit in December 2025, another in 2026, and then a third in January of 2027. Miles Earn and Burn has a more detailed explanation. The American Express Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, and other cards have a several benefits that are awarded for a calendar year. Doctor of credit has an exhaustive list of all cards and their calendar year benefits/credits.
