The easiest way to earn a large amount of miles is with the biggest credit card offers. These are the most profitable. Over the last several weeks, there have been several new best-ever and limited-time offers. Many of the offers are new.
I post what I find to be the biggest credit card offers. Some of the biggest credit card offers are no longer available. Card rewards seem to be on the rise in a big way. It's time to apply.
Here is the current list of the biggest credit card offers. There are easy ways to meet the minimum spend required.
The card can be used for purchases of 2X miles on purchases, 10X miles on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel, and 5X miles on flights booked through Capital One Travel.
Capital One Travel gives you up to $300 back annually as statement credits for your bookings, so you can get the best prices on thousands of options. You will get 10,000 bonus miles every year, starting on your first anniversary. The Capital One Lounge and Priority Pass lounges can be accessed with this card.
It earns 3 points per dollar on the first $150,000 spent each year on travel, airlines, hotels, rental cars, tolls, and shipping and advertising on social media and search engines. It comes with $600 in protection against theft when you use it to pay your cell phone bill.
The card comes with elite status through December 2023 and you can spend up to $50,000 a year to get it.
Pay Yourself Back with the card will allow members to apply points towards travel expenses charged to the card at 1.25 cents apiece in value up to 50,000 points per calendar year.
Every purchase you make for your business will earn you 1.5% cash back.
5% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at office supply stores and on internet, cable and phone services each account anniversary year; 2% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at gas stations and restaurants each account anniversary year.
If you have an Ultimate Rewards card with 75,000 points, you can combine them into one of Chase's annual fee Ultimate rewards products.
United Polaris Business Class
You have three months to do the first piece and six months to do the second. The card has priority boarding, 2 United Club one-time passes per year, and a free first checked bag. The card offers a $100 United travel credit after 7 United flight purchases of $100 or more each anniversary year.
If you have both a personal and a business United card, you will receive a 5,000-mile bonus each anniversary.
I think anyone living in a Southwest city who has gotten fewer than 5 new cards in the last 24 months does not currently have a Southwest credit card.
I like the Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card for people who fly the airline frequently and the Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card for people who don't.
You can use the CardMatch tool to see if you are targeted for an even bigger offer.
The new offer alone makes the card worth getting. I keep my card and consider it worth the annual fee if I get a $200 annual airline fee credit, up to a $100 annual Saks credit, and up to a $200 annual ride-sharing credit. There are new additional benefits.
They have added a number of new features to the card, including a 10% discount on coach saver awards, and 10,000 bonus miles for signing up for CLEAR by June 30, 2022.
Packaged snacks, perfect “to go,” in the Houston United Club
Points can be transferred to United, Hyatt, Southwest, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Singapore Airlines, and Air France KLM. It's the best all-around credit card for getting started in the hobby, and with a great signup bonus.
Since it has a bigger initial bonus offer and is easier to get approved for, it is a great strategy to get the Sapphire Reserve card and ask Chase to change it in a year. Chase doesn't approve this card for people who have signed up for 5 or more new card accounts in the past 24 months, it's the first card you should apply for. The rest of the Chase cards are the same.
First checked bag is offered on domestic American Airlines itineraries. The preferred boarding on American Airlines flights are also listed.
3 points per $1 spent at restaurants and supermarkets, 3 points per $1 spent at gas stations, and 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases earn you points. Points can be transferred to other frequent flyer programs. You can receive $100 off a single hotel stay of $500 or more booked through thankyou.com once per calendar year.
The Citibank ThankYou points transfer is on this card.
Chase issues both the British Airways card and sister Aer Lingus and Iberia products with the same bonus offers.
It's possible to pool points across the programs of British Airways and Aer Lingus with active accounts. If you have fewer than 5 new Chase cards in the past 24 months, you will be approved.
It's a great card, even though it has an initial bonus, and there is a best-ever bonus for the card right now. There has been a standard 35,000 point offer in the past, and there have been targeted and referral offers that would come and go for more. American Express has an amazing 60,000 point offer that you can get if you spend $4,000 on eligible purchases within the first 6 months.
The card has an annual fee of $250. I value Membership rewards points at 1.8 cents per point, largely because of their wide array of transfer partners that offer exceptional value.
$300 travel credit. 3X points on dining at restaurants & 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases.
The $550 annual fee and $300 annual travel credit can make sense with the card.
You can transfer your points to a variety of airlines and hotel programs, or use your points for travel through the Ultimate rewards portal.
The card gives you more rewards by giving you points on the 2 categories where your business spent the most each month. 1X is earned for other purchases. Each year, 4X points are applied to the first $150,000 in combined purchases from these 2 categories. There are terms that apply. Eligible categories include airfare purchased directly from airlines, U.S. purchases for advertising in select media, U.S. purchases at gas stations, and U.S. purchases for shipping.
The annual fee is $295. There are terms that apply. See the rates and fees.
The card has Platinum status, but will be upgraded to Diamond from March 24, 2022, when $40,000 spend and one additional purchase each year will earn Diamond. Each time cardmembers redeem points for any stay of 4 or more nights, they get a free reward night, along with Global Entry or TSA Precheck fee credit.
