The cards we feature here are from partners who compensate us when you are
approved through our site, and this may impact how or where these products
appear. We don’t cover all available credit cards, but our analysis, reviews,
and opinions are entirely from our editorial team. Terms apply to the offers
listed on this page. Please view our advertising policy and product review
methodology for more information.

With summer travel approaching, now may be a great time to evaluate your credit
card portfolio. Credit card sign-up bonuses and welcome offers are the quickest
and easiest way to rake in lots of points and miles, so we regularly update the
roundup of our favorite current offers in our best credit cards guide.

But to help you keep up with an ever-changing list of bonuses, we've also
compiled a list of the best card offers currently available — especially the
ones that are worth an extra look right now because they are at all-time highs
or may end soon.

A few limited-time offers don't have anything to do with welcome bonuses, either
— for example, right now you can get a limited-run Delta card made partially
from a retired Boeing 747.

Since many issuers have restrictions on how often you can earn a bonus on a
card, it's important to time your application for when there's a good offer.
Also, higher bonuses don't always stick around for long, so if you're
considering one of these offers, you'll want to hop on it sooner rather than
later.

Finally, if you're not ready to jump on a higher-end credit card, consider these
great starter cards or even one with a 0% introductory annual percentage rate
offer.

THE BUSINESS PLATINUM CARD FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS

This business card stands out not only for its extremely valuable welcome offer
but thanks to travel perks that can easily cover the card's $695 annual fee (see
rates and fees). Cardholders enjoy automatic Gold status in both the Hilton
Honors and Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programs, along with access to a wide variety
of airport lounges — including Amex Centurion, Priority Pass and Delta Sky Club
(when traveling on same-day Delta flights; limited to 10 annual visits from Feb.
1, 2025)*. Enrollment is required for select benefits.


THE POINTS GUY

Cardholders also enjoy 5 points per dollar on flights and prepaid hotels booked
at amextravel.com, along with 1.5 points per dollar on eligible purchases in
select business categories and eligible purchases of $5,000 or more (on up to $2
million of these purchases per calendar year, then 1 point per dollar).

CAPITAL ONE VENTURE X BUSINESS

The Capital One Venture X Business is the business version of the popular
Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card. Like its personal counterpart, the
Venture X Business offers luxurious perks at a reasonable annual fee. It has a
simple earning structure of at least 2 miles per dollar on all purchases.


THE POINTS GUY

This card is an excellent choice for small-business owners who prioritize
simplicity, offering benefits such as airport lounge access and a valuable
travel credit at a relatively affordable annual fee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INK BUSINESS PREFERRED CREDIT CARD

Then there's the Ink Business Preferred. According to TPG's valuations, this
card's welcome bonus alone is worth over $2,000 since you can take advantage of
Chase's excellent collection of airline and hotel transfer partners. Points
redeemed through the Chase Travel℠ portal are worth 1.25 cents each, which isn't
bad, either. And the card also now has a lower spending threshold to earn the
bonus.


THE POINTS GUY

Another factor in this card's favor? Its tremendous earning rates. You'll earn 3
points per dollar across the following categories on up to $150,000 in combined
purchases (1 point per dollar thereafter):

 * Travel
 * Shipping purchases
 * Internet, cable and phone services
 * Advertising on social media sites and search engines

Depending on which categories you spend in, you could earn a whopping 450,000
bonus points per year if you maxed out that $150,000 cap.

Among the Ink Business Preferred's unsung benefits are cellphone protection,
primary rental car coverage (when renting for business purposes) and other
travel and purchase protections. You can also add employee cards to your account
for free.

information.

Apply here: Ink Business Preferred Credit Card with 100,000 bonus points after
you spend $8,000 on eligible purchases with the card within the first three

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE PLATINUM CARD FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS

Often referred to as the king of the premium travel rewards cards, the Amex
Platinum offers a slew of benefits — along with a $695 annual fee (see rates and
fees). Cardholders enjoy perks such as automatic Gold status with both Hilton
Honors and Marriott Bonvoy, plus access to a wide range of airport lounges,
including Amex Centurion, Priority Pass and Delta Sky Club (on same-day Delta
flights; limited to 10 annual visits from Feb. 1, 2025)*.

On top of that, you'll get up to $200 in annual airline fee statement credits,
an up-to-$200 hotel statement credit to use toward prepaid Amex Fine Hotels +
Resorts or The Hotel Collection bookings (the latter of which requires a minimum
two-night stay) via AmexTravel.com, and an up-to-$189 Clear Plus membership
statement credit — along with numerous other perks. Enrollment is required for
select benefits.


THE POINTS GUY

Related: It's a 'lifestyle' card now: A closer look at the Amex Platinum's 6 new
benefits


Non-travel benefits include an up-to-$240 digital entertainment statement credit
(split into monthly up to $20 credits) that can be used for services under the
Disney umbrella (Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu), Peacock, The New York Times and The
Wall Street Journal.

Cardholders also receive an up-to-$155 Walmart+ credit (subject to auto-renewal;
Plus Ups are excluded), an up-to-$300 SoulCycle bike credit and an up-to-$300
Equinox statement credit for eligible Equinox memberships, which are subject to
auto-renewal. You also receive Uber VIP status and up to $200 in annual Uber
Cash (split into monthly $15 credits for U.S. rides and Uber Eats orders plus a
$20 bonus in December).

Enrollment is required for select benefits.

Finally, cardholders will enjoy enhanced earning rates on many travel purchases:

 * 5 points per dollar on flights booked directly with airlines or with American
   Express Travel® (on up to $500,000 on these purchases per calendar year, then
   1 point per dollar)
 * 5 points per dollar on prepaid hotels booked with American Express Travel®
 * 1 point per dollar on other eligible purchases

And while the current welcome offer provides solid value, check the CardMatch
Tool to see if you can receive an even higher one (offers are targeted and
subject to change at any time).

*Visits are non-transferable and may only be used by the Eligible Platinum Card
Member.

CHASE SAPPHIRE RESERVE

The Chase Sapphire Reserve is one of the best rewards credit cards on the
market, guaranteed to upgrade your travel lifestyle.


THE POINTS GUY

You'll earn 10 points per dollar on travel and dining through Chase Travel℠,
racking up valuable Ultimate Rewards points that can be transferred to hotel and
airline partners or redeemed directly for flights at a rate of 1.5 cents per
point. You'll also get a $300 annual travel credit, airport lounge access and a

purchases, 3 points per dollar on dining, select streaming services and online
grocery store purchases (excluding Target, Walmart and wholesale clubs), 2
points per dollar on all other travel purchases and 1 point per dollar on
everything else. These valuable points can be transferred to airline and hotel
partners or redeemed directly for travel at a rate of 1.25 cents per point
through Chase Travel℠.

You can also take advantage of its current elevated welcome offer, netting you
more than $1,500 in potential value.

Apply here: Chase Sapphire Preferred with 75,000 bonus miles after you spend
$4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CAPITAL ONE VENTURE X REWARDS CREDIT CARD

The Venture X card is Capital One's premium rewards card, offering great earning
rates and incredible perks.


THE POINTS GUY

Aside from a hefty welcome bonus of 75,000 miles after spending $4,000 on
purchases in the first three months — worth about $1,388 according to our
valuations thanks to Capital One's excellent airline and hotel transfer partners
— the card gives members $300 in credits annually for bookings made through
Capital One Travel and 10,000 bonus miles every account anniversary, starting on
their first anniversary (worth $100 toward travel, or $185 by our valuations).

As for earning rates, the Venture X racks up 10 miles per dollar on hotels and
car rentals booked via Capital One Travel, 5 miles per dollar on flights booked
via Capital One Travel, and an unlimited 2 miles per dollar on everything else.

Frequent travelers will also enjoy taking advantage of access to Capital One's
growing network of airport lounges as well as the ability to enroll for Priority
Pass membership for entry into more than 1,300 lounge locations worldwide. It
has access to Plaza Premium lounges and the Premier Collection, giving
cardholders on-property perks at a curated set of luxury hotels.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apply here: Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card with 75,000 bonus miles
after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account
opening.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CAPITAL ONE VENTURE REWARDS CREDIT CARD

The Venture Rewards packs a pretty good punch for a mid-tier credit card. It
earns a flat 2 miles per dollar spent on all purchases worldwide, but you can
earn 5 miles per dollar on hotels and car rentals booked through Capital One
Travel. The miles you earn with this card can be transferred to Capital One's
15-plus airline and hotel partners or redeemed through the Capital One Travel
portal.


THE POINTS GUY

The card stands out for offering an application fee credit for Global Entry or
TSA PreCheck; many other cards that offer this benefit have annual fees of $400
or more. This TSA PreCheck/Global Entry application fee credit alone is worth up
to $100. The Venture Rewards card doesn't impose foreign transaction fees (see
rates and fees), so you can use the card overseas without accumulating extra
charges.

Read our review of the Capital One Venture Rewards Card for more information.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apply here: Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card with 75,000 bonus miles

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AVIOS CREDIT CARDS

Right now, you can take advantage of identical limited-time offers on the
British Airways Visa Signature® Card, Iberia Visa Signature® Card and Aer Lingus
Visa Signature® Card.


BRITISH AIRWAYS

With all three cards, you'll earn 85,000 Avios after you spend $5,000 on
purchases within the first three months of account opening. TPG values Avios at
a solid 1.5 cents apiece, so if you earn the full 85,000 Avios, you'd take home
$1,275 in value.

All three cards also have a $95 annual fee and valuable benefits. You can read
more about these current offers here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apply here: British Airways Visa Signature Card

Apply here: Iberia Visa Signature Card

Apply here: Aer Lingus Visa Signature Card

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AMERICAN EXPRESS GOLD CARD

The Amex Gold card is a favorite of many TPG staffers thanks (in large part) to
its terrific earning rates:

 * 4 points per dollar on dining at restaurants (including takeout and delivery
   in the U.S.)
 * 4 points per dollar at U.S. supermarkets on up to $25,000 in purchases per
   calendar year (1 point per dollar after that)
 * 3 points per dollar on flights booked directly with airlines or through
   amextravel.com
 * 1 point per dollar on all other eligible purchases


THE POINTS GUY

The card also offers up to $120 in Uber Cash (up to $10 per month) that can be
used for Uber rides and Uber Eats purchases in the U.S. You'll also receive up
to $120 in statement credits (up to $10 per month) for select dining purchases
(enrollment is required for select benefits). All of this is available for a
manageable annual fee of $250 (see rates and fees)

And while it's not providing a limited-time bonus for new cardmembers, you can
often find elevated welcome offers through the CardMatch tool. The card
currently features a public welcome offer of 60,000 points after you spend
$6,000 on eligible purchases within the first six months of card membership.
However, some new customers can earn a 75,000-point welcome offer via the
CardMatch tool after meeting the same minimum spending requirements. Note that
these elevated offers are targeted and subject to change at any time.

Alternatively, you can refer a friend through the Amex referral program.

Apply here: American Express® Gold Card with 60,000 points after you spend
$6,000 in the first six months of card membership.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CITI AADVANTAGE BUSINESS WORLD ELITE MASTERCARD

The Citi AAdvantage Business World Elite Mastercard is one of the few American
Airlines cobranded business credit cards, and it comes with some valuable
earnings rates and benefits to help justify its $99 annual fee (waived for the
first 12 months).


THE POINTS GUY

With this card, you'll get a first checked bag free, preferred boarding for you
and four travel companions and a 25% inflight discount on Wi-Fi, food and
beverages when you use your card, among other perks.

You'll also earn 2 miles per dollar spent on eligible American Airlines
purchases, as well as on purchases with telecommunications merchants, cable and
satellite providers, car rental merchants and gas stations, and 1 mile per
dollar on everything else.

Read our review of the Citi AAdvantage Business for more information.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apply here: Citi® / AAdvantage Business™ World Elite Mastercard® with 75,000
American Airlines AAdvantage bonus miles after spending $5,000 in purchases
within the first five months of account opening.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HILTON HONORS AMERICAN EXPRESS BUSINESS

The just-refreshed Hilton Honors Amex Business card has undergone some big
changes — most of them negative — but at least there is a new elevated welcome
offer to take advantage of.


THE POINTS GUY

A few other positives are the addition of up to $60 in quarterly statement
credits on eligible Hilton purchases and complimentary National Car Rental®
Emerald Club Executive® status — both helping a bit to offset an uptick in
annual fee, changed earnings rates, and the removal of Priority Pass lounge
passes and free night certificates. Enrollment is required.

Still, the card might make sense for you if you're a business owner who stays at
Hilton at least once a quarter.

Read our review of the Hilton Amex Business for more information.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apply here: Hilton Honors American Express Business with 175,000 bonus points
when you spend $8,000 in purchases in the first six months of card membership.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BOTTOM LINE

The quickest way to earn points and miles is by signing up for a new credit
card. If any of these offers interest you, act sooner rather than later, as
limited-time offers may disappear.

Remember that Chase's 5/24 rule means that it's often best to apply for Chase
cards before other issuers' products. And here's some help on how to choose the

OUR COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY

The Points Guy believes that credit cards can transform lives, helping you
leverage everyday spending for cash back or travel experiences that might
otherwise be out of reach. That’s why we publish a variety of editorial content
and card comparisons: to help you find a great card to turn your goals into
reality.

When you choose to apply (and are approved) for a new credit card through our
site, we may receive compensation from our partners, and this may impact how or
where these products appear. While we don’t cover all available credit cards,
our editorial team creates and maintains all of the analysis of these cards, and
our content is not influenced nor subject to review by any credit card company,
bank or partner prior to (or after) publication. Please view our advertising
policy and product review methodology for more information.
