Below you’ll find my picks and a dash of analysis for the top consumer card offers and the top business card offers.
Background
Our Best Credit Card Offers page always shows the best offers sorted overall and within each card issuer by estimated first year value. This is a great non-biased way to compare credit card offers, but it misses nuances such as whether or not the rewards are easy to use, whether or not the card is worth keeping long term, etc. With this monthly series, I list my top consumer offers and top business offers, but with a small dash of analysis for each.
Top Consumer Card Offers
Amex Platinum: As high as 175K
| Card Offer |

 ⓘ $2259 1st Yr Value Estimate$200 Fine Hotels & Resorts credit valued at $100, $200 airline incidental fee credit for select airline only valued at $140, $200 Uber credit ($15 per month, $35/December) valued at $100, $100 Saks credit ($50 per six months) valued at $25 Click to learn about first year value estimates As high as 175K points ⓘAffiliateThis is an affiliate offer. Frequent Miler may earn a commission if you are approved for this offer As high as 175K points after $8K spend in 6 months. Welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer. Terms apply. Rates & Fees$695 Annual Fee Recent better offer: 175K points after $8K spend in 6 months. FM Mini Review: This card is absolutely loaded with high end perks. Depending upon your situation, those perks may be worth the annual fee or much more. |
This is a great offer for an excellent card, and this might be the best time to apply. We know that a card refresh is coming soon. As we’ve previously published, rumors suggest that on September 18th, the annual fee will jump to $895, but we’ll get valuable new coupons to make up for it (including Resy and Lululemon). In case those rumors prove true, it can be a smart move to apply before September 18th so that you can lock in the current $695 annual fee for a year. The downside of applying now is that Amex might include an even bigger welcome offer with its card refresh.

Also a good choice for big spenders seeking Delta elite status. |

Terms apply. Rates & Fees (Offer Expires 10/29/2025)$0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $150 Alternate Offer: Dummy booking offer of 50K + $500 credit. See this for more details. FM Mini Review: Priority boarding, and free checked bag make this a reasonably good option for Delta flyers who do not have elite status. However, those who can make use of an annual companion certificate would do better with the Delta Platinum card. |
Delta bumps up its welcome offers two or three times per year, and right now is one of those times. And this time may be the biggest bump we’ve ever seen. The Gold card is best for occasional Delta flyers, the SkyMiles Platinum card is best for those who value the card’s annual companion ticket, and the Reserve card is best for those who value Delta elite status, Sky Club access, and the card’s annual first-class companion ticket. In general, the business cards are better than the personal cards because the business cards offer larger hotel rebates through Delta Stays.
Citi Strata Elite: 80K (or 100K in-branch)

This offer is available in-branch or possibly via email. Information about this card has been collected independently by Frequent Miler. The issuer did not provide the details, nor is it responsible for their accuracy. FM Mini Review: Excellent portfolio of transfer partners, but mediocre bonus categories and a so-so group of credits. Recommend pairing this with Citi Premier and/or Double Cash. Click here for our complete card review |
While it’s questionable whether this is a great card to keep long-term, there’s no question that this is a great welcome bonus. Even better, Citi has added AA as a 1 to 1 transfer partner, so ThankYou Rewards points are more valuable than ever before.

100K is a great offer if you can snag it. The Amex Gold Card has been a favorite of ours since it debuted with its 4X dining and grocery categories (see above for details).

This makes the return on spend similar to a 2% cash back card (though in this case you must redeem your miles to offset travel in order to get 1 cent per mile). One big advantage over cash back: Capital One allows transfering their "miles" to airline miles & hotel points.

That said, some will prefer the Venture X card since it includes extra perks that you won’t get with this Venture card.

Top Business Card Offers
Applying for Business Credit Cards: You must have a business to apply, but even a simple sole proprietorship will work. It's likely that you have a business even if you don't realize it.
When you apply for a business credit card as a sole proprietor, you can use your own name as your business name, use your own address and phone as the business' address and phone, and your social security number as the business' Tax ID / EIN. Alternatively, you can get a proper Tax ID / EIN from the IRS for free, in about a minute, through this website.
Is it OK to use business cards for personal expenses? Anecdotally, almost everyone I know uses business cards for personal expenses. That said, the terms in most business card applications state that you should use the card only for business use. Also, some consumer credit card protections do not apply to business cards. My advice: don't use the card for personal expenses if you're not comfortable doing so.

You must have a business (but you probably do): In order to apply for a business credit card, you must have a business. That said, it's common for people to have businesses without realizing it. If you sell items at a yard sale or on eBay, for example, then you have a business. Similar examples include: consulting, writing (e.g. blog authorship, planning your first novel, etc.), handyman services, owning rental property, renting on airbnb, driving for Uber or Lyft, etc. In any of these cases, your business is considered a Sole Proprietorship unless you form a corporation of some sort.When you apply for a business credit card as a sole proprietor, you can use your own name as your business name, use your own address and phone as the business' address and phone, and your social security number as the business' Tax ID / EIN.

It’s now possible to apply for this card through the Rakuten portal in order to earn cash back or Amex Membership Rewards points in addition to the Chase welcome bonus shown above. See this post for details.
Even though Chase describes this as a cash back card, rewards are actually in the form of Ultimate Rewards points. Once you earn the points, you can cash them out for a penny each, but that’s not the best way to get the most value. A better option is to move points to a card that makes the points more valuable for travel (Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, or Ink Business Preferred). For example, you could move the points to your (or a household member’s) Sapphire Reserve card and then use points to pay for travel at a higher value using Points Boosts, or you can transfer points to loyalty programs such as Hyatt, United, Air Canada, Air France/KLM, Virgin Atlantic, and more.

However, those who can make use of an annual companion certificate would do better with the Delta Platinum card. |
Delta bumps up its welcome offers two or three times per year, and right now is one of those times. And this time may be the biggest bump we’ve ever seen. The Gold card is best for occasional Delta flyers, the SkyMiles Platinum card is best for those who value the card’s annual companion ticket, and the Reserve card is best for those who value Delta elite status, Sky Club access, and the card’s annual first-class companion ticket. In general, the business cards are better than the personal cards because the business cards offer larger hotel rebates through Delta Stays.

I would love to open one business account and one personal account. Suggestions as to the best?
It’s really hard to say. It depends so much on what goals you have, how much you can spend to meet minimum spend requirements, what cards you already have, etc.
Check out the new format for this post, though. It might be more helpful than before.
I obtained a Marriott Brilliant card in August. I recently applied for the Marriott AMEX Business Bonvoy with the 125k offer and was refused. I wonder why that would be the case, as the Brilliant card was the only one I have opened in the past few years? When would it make sense to reapply?
Just a note to say that I tend to come back to this page throughout the month as I think of next steps. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great resource to have all this at one’s fingertips. I don’t say I follow FM’s trail everywhere it leads, but when my inclinations line up with your recs, that’s a pretty good indicator.
That’s great to hear!
Amex Marriott Brilliant now up to 250k. In a 150k plus 75k format. Not certain if it’s targeted.
Where did you see that offer?
Curious why you didn’t include the delta cards. In most cases, the first year value of the delta cards is higher than any of these other airline offers.
Good catch. I took them out when the bonuses dropped and forgot to put them back when the bonuses went up again. I’ll add them.
Greg, small point: On the Ink Business Preferred: 100K, you say: “Who shouldn’t get it: Don’t apply if you don’t have a business or if you’re over 5/24″.
But that should be “Don’t apply if you don’t have a business or if you’re not UNDER 5/24”.
I see what you mean but I don’t love the sort-of double negative “not under”. How about “… or if you’re at or over 5/24”
Not sure about the requirements for the 200k AMEX BIZ Plat offer. In the separate post, I understood it to say that I must do the checking account AND the $15k spend to get the 200K MRs. I already have the AMEX checking (from the original offer) so if I just do the spend will I get the MRs?
You would get the 150K only.
The 200k offer listed at the top here is different. This one doesn’t require a business checking account
I was thinking about replacing my vanilla Platinum with the Schwab as I’d prefer a reasonable cash out option, but the linked page shows only 80K, not, 100K. Has the offer gone down?
Sorry about that. Yes the offer went down.
Would you recommend applying for the current Platinum offer (150K + $200) or wait until early December to apply given the ability to triple dip the calendar year credits? I’d very likely only hold for 1 year and cancel after second AF posts.
If you’re confident you can use the various perks (like the $200 airline fee credit) quickly in December of 23 and January of 25, then I’d wait. There’s always a chance that the signup bonus will be significantly worse then, though, so there’s some risk, but my guess is that you’ll be able to find at least a 150K offer even if the $200 extra is no longer available.
When I click the 160K link for the Amex Biz Plat, it shows a 155K bonus – 150K for the card, 5K for the AU. And then when I click thru and login, it says it is no longer available (not sure if that means it is unavailable just for me, or for everyone).
However I did just receive an email for the 200K Biz Plat + Biz checking with an Apr 30 expiration. I already have the checking (60K bonus should be posting soon), does anyone know if I can do it again to get a net 50K bonus assuming I get another Biz Plat?
Thanks. I’ve updated that section to say 150K + 5K. It still works for me when I log in so I believe that you aren’t targeted.
I don’t know the answer to your question about the biz checking bundle
That streets are saying csp may go 90k soon.
Greg: you mention that the $50K spend requirement for the Capital One Venture X Business Card could possibly be better spent elsewhere. “Also, if you prefer to sign up for lots of cards, you can do much better with $50K of spend.” Could you give me an example(s) of what you are referring to?
Greg is referring to doing several sign-up bonuses rather than just the one with Cap1. For example, from the list above, you could get an Amex Business Platinum with $15K required spend and a Chase Ink with $6K required spend. If you wanted to only be applying for business cards (e.g. to stay under 5/24), and if you wanted to spread your applications across banks, you could add the BofA Alaska Biz card for $4K and the Barclays AA or JetBlue Biz card for $2K, taking your total to $27K and still with $23K for spend on different new cards. You need to give 90 days and then you can apply for another Biz Plat or Chase Ink (though by then the 90K bonus will probably be gone), or maybe get a Amex Biz Gold or … there are a lot of options. I am not factoring in all the annual fees, you would need to look at the annual fee costs as well as the value to you of all the points/cash-back earned in bonuses and the perks provided by the cards (e.g. how much are the Dell credits on the Biz Plat worth to you).
Thank you!
A couple small things – for Ink Biz Preferred, current CIC is 90% of points with 40% of minimum spend – not 75% and 50%.
Also, I thought you could no longer get IHG premier if you had the old IHG card. I gather it may not always be enforced?
I have both the Ink Cash and Ink Unlimited cards for some years now. In my chase account, I see offers “Just for You” for both of the 90k offers plus the Ink Preferred cards. Is it possible to receive the SUB again for the Inks, and have two of the same cards?
Yes.
Greg, I’ve heard that there needs to be at least 90 days between Amex NLL offers on the same card type. Any thoughts? Thanks.
