    • This card will not be available to you if you currently have or have had the card in the preceding 24 month period. This does not apply to the business credit card product.

    Our Verdict

    Previously this card was often 70,000 miles or 70,000 miles + $100. This link is supposed to be in flight, but working elsewhere as well. Standard bonus on this card is currently 80,000 miles so this is an extra 5,000 really. Will be added to our best credit card bonuses.

  • Chase IHG Traveler Card (No AF): 100,000 Point Bonus – Doctor Of Credit

    Chase IHG Traveler Card (No AF): 100,000 Point Bonus – Doctor Of Credit

    The Offer

    Direct link to offer

    • Chase IHG Traveler is offering a sign up bonus of 100,000 points after $2,000 in spend within the first three months

    Card Details

    • No annual fee
    • Card earns at the following rates:
      • 5x points per $1 spent on IHG properties
      • 2x points per $1 spent on gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants
      • 1x points per $1 spent on all other purchases
    • Gold elite status when you spend $10,000 on your card each calendar year
    • Fourth Reward Night Free on any stay of 4 or more nights
    • 20% discount when purchasing points

    Our Verdict

    This has been as high as 120,000 points in the past. Not really worth considering the IHG Premier card always has a better bonus (e.g we recently saw five free nights of up to 60,000 points per night).

    • Chase is offering a new sign up bonus on the Chase Sapphire Preferred:
      • Earn 60,000 bonus points after $4,000 in purchases in your first 3 months from account opening
      • Earn an additional 10,000 points (70,000 points) after an additional $2,000 in purchases in your first 3 months from account opening ($6,000 total spend)
      • Plus, get up to $300 in statement credits on Chase Travel purchases within your first year

    Card Details

    • $95 annual fee, not waived
    • No foreign transaction fees
    • Primary car rental insurance
    • $50 Annual Hotel Credit. (This is per cardmember year, rather than calendar year. Must be booked through the Chase Travel Portal.)
    • Card earns at the following rates:
      • 5x on travel booked through the Chase Travel portal.
      • 3x on Dining/Streaming Services/online grocery (excludes: excluding Target, Walmart and
        wholesale clubs)
      • 2x on travel
      • 1x on all other purchases
      • 10% Anniversary point bonus. When you renew your card Chase will offer a 10% bonus spend. For example if you spend $25,000 you’d earn 2,500 bonus points.  This is award after the annual fee is paid. This doesn’t apply to the sign up bonus.
    • Transferable points
    • Redeem points on Chase’s travel portal at a value of 1.25¢ due to the 25% travel redemption bonus
    • Not eligible if you’ve received a sign up bonus on the Sapphire Preferred/Reserve in the last 48 months (standard is now 48 months)
    • Chase 5/24 rule applies to this card

    Our Verdict

    Reader Michael reports this in branch offer. An extra 10,000 points for an extra $2,000 in spend is a good deal for most people, although if you have P2 refer you you’ll be better off with the other offer. We will still add this to the best credit card bonus page and mention it in the other posts.

  • Chase Hyatt Credit Card: 5 Free Night Certificates (Category 1-4) – Doctor Of Credit

    Chase Hyatt Credit Card: 5 Free Night Certificates (Category 1-4) – Doctor Of Credit

    The Offer

    Direct link to offer

    • Chase is offering a bonus of five free night certificates, good on category 1-4 properties when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening on the Chase World of Hyatt card.

    Card Basics

    • This product is available to you if you do not have this card and have not received a new cardmember bonus for this card in the past 24 months 
    • Annual fee of $95
    • Card earns at the following rates:
      • 4x points per $1 spent on Hyatt hotels (they advertise this as 9x, but it’s 4x plus the 5x you normally get anyway)
      • 2x points per $1 spent on local transit and commuting (including taxis, mass transit, tolls and ride-share serivces)
      • 2x points per $1 spent on restaurants, cafes and coffee shops
      • 2x points per $1 spent on airline tickets purchased directly from the airlines
      • 2x points per $1 spent on fitness clubs and gym memberships
      • 1x points per $1 spent on all other purchases
    • Receive up to two free nights annually:
      • One free night at any category 1-4 Hyatt property every year after your card member anniversary
      • An additional free night at any category 1-4 Hyatt property if you spend $15,000 during your card member anniversary year
    • Status:
      • World of Hyatt Discoverist status for as long as the card is open
      • 5 qualifying night credits towards your next tier status every year
      • An additional 2 qualifying night credits towards your next tier every time you spend $5,000 on the card (no limit)

    Our Verdict

    Previous best offer was 65,000 points. If you redeemed all five nights on a category four property that would come out to 90,000 points so this bonus is significantly better but you obviously lose the ability to stay at properties category 5 or above. This offer also requires a lot less spend. I think this offer is worth doing if you have a 5/24 spot and will be added to the best credit card bonuses.

    I’m an idiot, that link is for the personal not business card. Marked as expired.

    Update 9/19/24: New working link found. Hat tip to reader Casey K

    The Offer

    Direct link to offer

    • Barclays is offering a signup bonus on the business Hawaiian Airlines card for 60,000 miles  when spending $2,000 within 90 days. You get an additional 10,000 miles after a purchase is made on an employee card

    Card Details

    • Annual fee of $99 is not waived the first year
    • Card earns at the following rate:
      • 3x miles on all Hawaiian Airlines purchase
      • 2x Hawaiiamiles on gas, dining and office supply store purchases
      • 1x miles on all other purchases
    • No foreign transaction fees
    • ShareMiles, ability to share miles with friends & family HawaiianAirlines.com
    • Earn up to 40,000 additional miles annually:
      • 20,000 bonus miles after spending $50,000-$99,999 on purchases during your card membership year
      • 40,000 bonus miles after spending $100,000 or more during your card membership year

    Our Verdict

    Best ever offer is 90,000 miles or 80,000 miles + $99 credit. This offer is obviously significantly worse but readers may still consider this offer as Alaska Airlines is acquiring Hawaiian and there is some speculation the loyalty programs will be combined at a 1:1 rate. The nice thing about Barclays business cards is that they don’t report to your personal credit report, so it won’t count towards your 5/24 status. Personal card is also 70,000 miles currently.

    • Chase is offering 100,000 points on the Chase British Airways card after $7,500 in spend within the first six months

    Our Verdict

    We once saw a bonus that was 100,000 after $5,000 in spend but we haven’t seen that for multiple years. Other recent bonuses include 125,000 points for $20,000 spend or 75,000 points for $5,000 spend. I do think this bonus is competitive and probably the best points:spend ratio we have seen for a long time, so if you think it’s worth using a 5/24 slot for this card then I’d recommend signing up and will add it to our best credit card bonus page.

    The Offer

    Direct link to offer

    • Chase IHG Rewards Business Premier Club Card is currently offering a sign up bonus of 200,000 points. Bonus is broken down as follows:
      • Earn 140,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening
      • 60,000 Bonus Points after you spend a total of $9,000 on purchases in the first 6 months from account opening

    Card Details

    • $99 annual fee
    • This new cardmember bonus offer is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this business credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this business credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this business credit card within the last 24 months.
    • Card earns at the following rates:
      • 10x on IHG purchases
      • 5x on gas stations, dining, social media and search engine advertising and office supply store purchases
      • 3x on all other purchases

    • Redeem three nights, get one night free

    Our Verdict

    This is the highest bonus we’ve seen on this card, previous high was 175,000 points. This new offer does have a higher minimum spend requirement though. A reminder that the personal version of this bonus is five free night certificates of up to 60,000 points per night.  One advantage of Chase business cards is that they don’t count towards your 5/24 status. Before applying read these things everybody should know about Chase. We will be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

    Direct link to offer

    • U.S. Bank is offering 70,000 miles after $5,000 in spend within the first 90 days on the Korean Air SKYPASS Select Card

     

    Card Details

    • Annual fee of $450, not waived fist year
    • $200 annual statement credit on travel purchases (this is based on a card member year, not calendar)
    • TSA PreCheck/Global Entry Credit of up to $100
    • 10,000 bonus miles on card anniversary, must spend $35,000 in the prior year or 5,000 miles when you spend $15,000
    • Get 5% off Korean Air tickets 2X yearly, available for you and a companion
    • Card earns at the following rates;
      • 3x miles per $1 spent on Korean air purchases
      • 2x miles per $1 spent on Airline ticket, Car Rental & Hotel purchases
      • 1x mile per $1 spent on all other purchases
    • Discount coupon for $100 off Korean Air ticket
    • 2 Korean Air In-Flight Duty Free coupons of $25 each
    • 2 KAL Lounge coupons each year

    Our Verdict

    Benefits aren’t really worth it for the $450 annual fee, but it could be worth getting the first year just for the miles but even then it’s hard to justify. Think this is an easy pass for most people but better than the standard 60,000 miles offer. We won’t be adding this to the best credit card bonus page.

    U.S. Bank Cash+: $250 Sign Up Bonus After $1,000 In Spend – Doctor Of Credit

    Update 8/2/24: Bonus increased to $250 with the same $1,000 spend requirement.

    The Offer

    Direct link to offer

    • U.S. Bank is currently offering a sign up bonus of $200 when you spend $1,000 or more within the first 90 days of account opening on the Cash+ card.

    Card Details

    • No annual fee
    • You can choose two categories to earn 5% in (limit $2,000 in spend per quarter), one category to earn 2% in one and 1% on all other purchases

    Our Verdict

    Previously the best offer was $200, but required $500 in spend. This requires a little more spend but that shouldn’t be a huge issue due to the 5% categories. Unfortunately getting approved for U.S. bank cards can be difficult so you might want to apply for the  the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve card instead.

  • Wells Fargo & Expedia Group Launch One Key Cards (Can Now Apply) – Doctor Of Credit

    Wells Fargo & Expedia Group Launch One Key Cards (Can Now Apply) – Doctor Of Credit

    Update 7/29/24: You can now apply when you go through the pre-approval tool.

    Wells Fargo has partnered with the Expedia group to launch two ‘One Key’ cards. One Key is Expedia’s combined loyalty program with other Expedia brands such as Hotels.com, Orbitz & more. The new cards are as follows:

    One Key+ Card

    • $99 Annual Fee
    • Earn $600 in OneKeyCash after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months
    • Earn 3% in OneKeyCash on Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo. When combined with One Key benefits, Platinum tier members earn 9% on Expedia and Hotels.com when booking VIP Access properties, and 5% on Vrbo**
    • Earn 3% in OneKeyCash at gas stations, grocery stores, and on dining
    • Earn 2% in OneKeyCash on all other purchases
    • Automatic Gold Tier
    • Path to next tier: Unlock Platinum when you spend $30,000 per calendar year
    • Get $100 in OneKeyCash each cardholder anniversary (expires 12 months after it’s awarded)
    • Receive a statement credit of up to $100 for Global Entry® or TSA PreCheck®
    • No foreign transaction fees
    • Cell phone protection
    • Trip protections:
      • Trip Cancellation and Interruption
      • Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver
      • Common Carrier Travel Accident Insurance

    One Key Card

    • No Annual Fee
    • Earn $400 in OneKeyCash after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months
    • Earn 3% in OneKeyCash on Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo. When combined with One Key benefits, Platinum tier members earn 9% on Expedia and Hotels.com when booking VIP Access properties, and 5% on Vrbo**
    • Earn 3% in OneKeyCash at gas stations, grocery stores, and on dining
    • Earn 1.5% in OneKeyCash on all other purchases
    • Automatic Silver Tier
    • Path to next tier: Unlock Gold when you spend $15,000 per calendar year
    • No foreign transaction fees
    • Cell phone protection
    • Trip protections:
      • Trip Cancellation and Interruption
      • Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver
      • Common Carrier Travel Accident Insurance

    Our Verdict

    Might be worth getting the One Key+ for the sign up bonus. I don’t see a lot of value in keeping the card(s) long term as usually the savings are overstated and booking third party means you miss out on elite benefits/elite night credits in most cases. Read these things everybody should know about Wells Fargo before applying and we will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

    Direct link to offer

    • American Express is offering 100,000 points after $6,000 in spend within the first six months of card membership on the refreshed gold card. You also get 20% back in statement credits on eligible purchases made at restaurants worldwide within six months of card membership up to $100 back. Offer ends 11/6/24

    Card Details

    • $325 annual fee ($75 increase)
    • Option of white gold card (alongside gold or rose gold)
    • Card earns at the following rates:
      • 4x on restaurants (limited to $50,000 per year, previously no limit)
      • 4x on grocery (limited to $25,000 per year)
      • 3x points on flights Booked directly with airlines or on amextravel.com
      •  2x points on On Prepaid Hotels and other eligible travel purchases, booked through AmexTravel.com
      • 1x points on all other purchases
    • $7 monthly Dunkin donuts credit (new)
    • $50 semi annual resy credit (new)
    • $10 monthly Uber cash credit (same as before)
    • $10 monthly GrubHub/5 Guys (previously not available on 5 guys, but available on mile bar and shake shack purchases)

    Our Verdict

    Standard offer is 60,000 points, I was getting 90,000 points to show frequently but 100,000 points was much more difficult. Things you can try:

    • Open offer in incognito mode
    • Try searching on google and then clicking through to the gold page
    • Click through to the gold page from other American Express pages
    • Different browsers/computer/phone
    • VPN/Hotspot (careful applying)

    100,000 + $100 offer is one of the best we have seen, other good offers were 90,000 + $250 in the past. I think if you can get the 100,000 + $100 offer to show and haven’t held the card before it’s definitely worth considering, I just wish it was easier to get the offer to appear. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses with the caveat that this isn’t the public bonus. Hopefully this offer without lifetime language appears soon. Before applying read these things everybody should know about American Express.

    • This product is available to you if you do not have a current IHG® Rewards Credit Card (any IHG personal card) and have not received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months (on any IHG personal card). This restriction does not apply to Business Card Credit Card products.
    • Chase 5/24 rule applies to this card

    Our Verdict

    Best bonus was 175,000 points. Think this is a much better bonus as you’re getting five free night certificates up to 60,000 points per certificate (really up to a maximum of 300,000 points). Some things to know about the certificates:

    • They expire 1 year after being issued
    • In the past you have not being able to top up certificates from the sign up bonus with additional points (e.g if a property costs 70,000 points per night it wasn’t possible to add 10,000 points to one of these certificates)

    There are some datapoints that this is bypassing 5/24, but it’s unclear if this is due to miscounting (share your datapoints in the comments below). It’s possible we will see the same offer with an additional $100 statement credit when doing a dummy booking but don’t think it’s necessarily worth waiting for based on the history of those offers appearing for IHG. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

    • American Express is offering a sign up bonus of 50,000 miles after $2,000 in spend within the first three months. You also get a $400 statement credit after your first Delta purchase within three months of account opening

    The Fine Print

    • Statement credit issued approximately 8-12 weeks after you make a Delta purchase on your Card in your first 3 months.
    • Bonus miles will be issued after you make $2,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months.
    • Offer Expires 7/28/2021.

      • 2x miles per $1 spent on restaurants (including takeout and delivery), groceries and Delta purchases
      • 1x miles per $1 spent on all other purchases

    Our Verdict

    There was a 70k + $400 offer last year. That offer didn’t show for many people, the other offer that we frequently see is 90k miles or 70k + $200. The offer you prefer will depend on how highly you value Delta miles. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

    The Offer

    Our Verdict

    Previously the best deal would be to get 40,000 miles + $250 statement credit and then match that offer to 60,000 miles (for a total of 60,000 miles + $250 statement credit) but that is no longer possible. 75,000 miles is the best offer we’ve seen since that was possible.
