Greg’s top picks (my favorite card offers)

Below you’ll find my picks and a dash of analysis for the top consumer card offers and the top business card offers.

Top Credit 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.

FM Mini Review: Good all-around card for frequent traveler. Best when paired with no annual fee Chase Freedom Flex, Freedom Unlimited & Chase Ink Cash cards. Click here for our complete card review

While this welcome offer isn’t as big as we’d hoped, it’s still a great offer. 100,000 points can be used for up to $2,000 in stays booked through The Edit by Chase Travel℠ or up to $2,000 in premium cabin flights when 2x Points Boosts are available. Full details about the Sapphire Reserve card’s new features can be found here: Introducing the new couponified Chase Sapphire Reserve.

100K Miles + 3,000 PQPs ⓘAffiliateThis is an affiliate offer. Frequent Miler may earn a commission if you are approved for this offer
100K miles and 3,000 PQPs after $4K spend in the first 3 months.
$350 Annual Fee
This card is subject to Chase's 5/24 rule (click here for details).
Recent better offer: None.

This is an excellent offer for this card. If you’re interested in earning United miles and United elite status, this one is definitely worth considering.

Marriott Bonvoy: Five 50K Free Nights

Earn five 50K free night certificates after spending $5,000 on eligible purchases within the first 3 months
(Offer Expires 7/16/2025)
$95 Annual Fee
This card is subject to Chase's 5/24 rule (click here for details).
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.
Recent better offer: None

This is a very good offer for this card. If you’re interested in staying in mid-high tier, but not necessarily top of the line luxury, Marriott hotels, you should be able to do well with these certificates. Keep in mind, though, that five 50K certs are not worth nearly as much as 250K points for several reasons:

  • Fifth Night Free Awards don’t work with certificates. Marriott’s “Stay for 5, Pay for 4” awards only work with points-awards.
  • Certificates expire. Points don’t. As long as you have activity in your Marriott account at least once every 24 months, your points will never expire. These free night certificates, though, expire after a year.
  • Points are much more flexible. 50,000 points can be used to book one 50K night, two 25K nights, four 12.5K nights, etc. A 50K cert, meanwhile, can only be used to book a single night costing 50K points or less, or it can be topped off with points to book a single night costing up to 65K. Plus, the certificate has no residual value if you use it for a night that costs less than 50K points.

Amex Gold: As high as 100K

Card Offer
ⓘ $1307 1st Yr Value Estimate$120 Dining credit ($10 per month) valued at $30, $100 Resy credit ($50 per six months) valued at $85, $120 Uber credit ($10 per month) valued at $60

As high as 100K points ⓘAffiliateThis is an affiliate offer. Frequent Miler may earn a commission if you are approved for this offer
As high as 100K points after $6K spend in 6 months. Welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer. Terms apply. Rates & Fees
$325 Annual Fee
Recent better offer: 100K after $6K in the first 6 months + 20% back at restaurants for the first 12 months up to $250 back [Expired 11/10/24 - referrals only]
FM Mini Review: This card offers an awesome return on US supermarket and worldwide dining spend, putting it at or near the top-of-class in both categories. Dining credits and Uber / Uber Eats credits go a long way towards reducing the sting of this card's annual fee.

The Amex Gold Card has been a favorite of ours since it debuted with its 4X dining and grocery categories (see above for details). Note that the alternate 75K Resy offer is potentially even better for those who spend a lot on dining.

FM Mini Review: Excellent choice for frequent Delta flyers who can make use of Delta Sky Club® access and companion certificate. Also a good choice for big spenders seeking Delta elite status.

80K miles ⓘAffiliateThis is an affiliate offer. Frequent Miler may earn a commission if you are approved for this offer

(Offer Expires 7/16/2025)
$0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $150
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 is offering very good bonuses right now. If you’re interested in picking up a Delta card, this is a good time to do so.

Wyndham: 90K

Card Offer
ⓘ $792 1st Yr Value EstimateClick to learn about first year value estimates
90K Points Non-AffiliateThis is NOT an affiliate offer. We always present the best offer even when it means less revenue for Frequent Miler
90K points after $2K spend in first 90 days
$75 Annual Fee
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.
Recent better offer: Expired 7/11/24: 100K after $2K in spend
FM Mini Review: Not bad, but the business version is better.

This is an excellent offer, especially when considering that it only requires $2,000 in spend to earn the full 90,000 point bonus. Like other Wyndham Earner cards, this one unlocks a 10% discount on all award bookings. Additionally, it gives you Platinum elite stautus and 7,500 points every year when you renew.

Capital One Venture: 75K

Card Offer and Details
ⓘ $985 1st Yr Value EstimateClick to learn about first year value estimates
75K Miles ⓘFriend-ReferralThis is a friend-referral offer. A member of the Frequent Miler community may earn a referral bonus if you are approved for this offer
75k miles after $4k spend within first 3 months
$95 Annual Fee
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.
Recent better offer: 75k miles after $4k spend within first 3 months + a one-time $250 Capital One Travel credit to use in your first cardholder year
FM Mini Review: This card earns 2 "miles" per dollar, which are worth exactly 1 cent each toward travel. 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. Click here for our complete card review
Earning rate: 2X miles everywhere ✦ 5X miles on hotels, vacations rentals and rental cars booked via Capital One Travel
Base: 2X (2.9%)
Other: 5X (7.25%)
Card Info: Mastercard issued by CapOne. This card has no foreign currency conversion fees.
Noteworthy perks: Receive up to $120 application fee credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® ✦ Redeem miles for travel at value of 1 cent per mile ✦ Convert "miles" to airline miles & hotel points ✦ No foreign transaction fees

The Venture Rewards card earns 2 transferrable points per dollar for all eligible spend, and it has no foreign transaction fees. That makes this a very good choice for anyone who wants to keep things simple with a single card that earns valuable rewards for all spend. That said, some will prefer the Venture X card since it includes extra perks that you won’t get with this Venture card.

IHG Premier: 5 60K Nights

Card Offer and Details

Click to learn about first year value estimates
5 x 60K Free Night Certificates ⓘAffiliateThis is an affiliate offer. Frequent Miler may earn a commission if you are approved for this offer
Five 60K free night certificates after $5K spend in 3 months after account opening.
$99 Annual Fee
This card is subject to Chase's 5/24 rule (click here for details).
Recent better offer: Five 60K free night certificates after $4K spend in 3 months (Expired 6/2/24)
Earning rate: 10X IHG ✦ 5X travel, dining, and gas stations ✦ 3X on all other purchases
Base: 3X (1.83%)
Travel: 5X (3.05%)
Dine: 5X (3.05%)
Gas: 5X (3.05%)
Brand: 10X (6.1%)
Card Info: Mastercard World Elite issued by Chase. This card has no foreign currency conversion fees.
Big spend bonus: 10K bonus points + $100 statement credit after you spend $20K in a calendar year + make one additional purchase ✦ Diamond status after $40K in purchases + one additional purchase in a calendar year
Noteworthy perks: Anniversary free night e-certificate good at IHG properties up to 40K points per night ✦ Ability to add an unlimited number of points to a free night certificate to book a higher-level hotel ✦ Fourth night free on award stays ✦ 20% discount on points purchases ✦ Platinum elite status ✦ Up to $50 in United TravelBank cash per year (must register your card with your United account) ✦ Complimentary Instacart+ for 3 months (must activate by 12/31/27) ✦ $10 monthly Instacart credit

This is a good offer that is marred by the fact that you can’t top-off (add points to) the 60K certificates from the welcome bonus. This is in contrast to the card’s annual (upon renewal) 40K free nights which you can top off. With the latter, for example, if a property costs 70,000 points for a night, you can use the 40K certificate plus 30,000 points to book the stay. With the 60K certificates from this welcome offer, though, you would not be able to book a 70,000 point night at all.

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.
More: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. 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.

This is an excellent offer for an excellent 2% back everywhere business card. After spending $15,000 to earn the welcome bonus, you’ll have a total of $1,800 in rewards.

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 1.5 cents per point value, or you can transfer points to loyalty programs such as Hyatt, United, Air Canada, Air France/KLM, Virgin Atlantic, and more.

I would love to open one business account and one personal account. Suggestions as to the best?

jeff

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?

usernamechuck

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.

Lee

Amex Marriott Brilliant now up to 250k. In a 150k plus 75k format. Not certain if it’s targeted.

Repeat Offender Captain Greg

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.

Frank

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”.

Arthur Leyenberger

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?

Frank

You would get the 150K only.

Mark H

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?

William

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.

jeph36

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?

Nate

That streets are saying csp may go 90k soon.

Michael

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?

jeph36

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).

Michael

Thank you!

usernamechuck

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?

CharlesinNYC

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?

Champz

Yes.

Lee

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.
