With this $100 annual fee increase, there are new business-focused statement credits, from Indeed to Adobe.

In fact, issuers have added numerous monthly statement credits to reward cardholders for their everyday purchases. Since all of your December promotions expire today, use those perks to treat yourself to your favorite local restaurant or reduce the cost of some of your bills.
