The Best Bonus Offers (Current)
 

I wanted to start a thread for everyone to say their favorite (current) bonus offers. Hopefully this could start as a good foundation for people that are looking into their first CC Churn Apps

I will go ahead and start with my own:

1) CitiAA Business (50K)
2) United Mileage Explorer (up to 65K)
3) Chase Sapphire Preferred (40K)
4) SPG Personal/Business (25K/25K)
5) Chase SouthWest (50K)
5) Barclay US Airways (40-55K)
6) Chase Ink Bold (50K)
7) Hawaiian (2*35K)

Feel Free to let it know what you think the best current offers are and hopefully we can get a good thread going. I will do my best to update if we can find a general consensus.

Thanks!

There is already a master credit card sign ups thread.

I was thinking for more of a rating system as opposed to a master list of all the credit card sign-ups. Was hoping to get a general consensus of the top 3-5 offers that are available currently

Thanks

#1: 2x Citi AA cards for 100k AA miles - 5k spend
#2: 55k UA miles + $50 (will likely disappear first out of all chase offers) - 1k spend
#3: Ink bold and/or Ink plus: 50k UR points, 5 UR/$ at office supplies - 10k(!) spend
#4: 2x Citi TY premier for 100k TYP - 5k spend
#5 40k US Air - no spend, churnable, and pulls Transunion. Should be included in every round of applications

What consensus? Program need may vary dramatically depending on you location and travel pattern. You put boh card last but those who travel to hi may need it the most.
We have a master list - pick what works for you.

Sorry, noob question.

Why is it good when a CC company pulls Transunion? I have seen a few posts hinting at that and don't understand why?

When do u cancel us airways card and reapply. I've had mine 7 months.

You want to spread inquiries amongst the 3 credit bureaus (TU, Equifax, Experian). TU is the one that's least commonly used for most people. For me, any creditor that pulls TU will only see 3-4 inquiries vs 10+ on Experian.

You should be able to reapply. Don't even need to cancel current card necessarily...

The best you can do with Citi right now is 95k AA miles (50k for Visa + 45k for Amex) unless you can get approved for 2 Visa's. As of right now 50k Citi Amex link is dead and has been for the last few days.

Also, 55k UA is gone. It has been decreased to 30k and the trick with having a few miles in your MileagePlus account isn't working anymore. However, people have been reporting that you can still apply for 55k UA by going to Chase branch.

Isn't Barclay's picky about keeping two US Air credit cards far apart? What is your recommendation on how long should one wait between two applications? Thanks.

Thats funny I looked into the top two offers listed here today and both companies claimed that those offers are over. they both claimed they are only offering 30K miles for sign up.

Ryan, any idea on links, etc where we can sign up for the deals you mention?

I just logged onto my MP account and I still see the 55k UA offer. I'm MP Silver, so that may be why I still see it. Not entire sure though...

Yeah, some people reported that they can still get 55k UA offer by logging into their MP accounts. Not me though and not a lot of others.

I just applied today for 8 cards. The last one I applied for was the US Airways card. I had one since 5/12 and figured with all the posts it would be safe. After talking with the CSR and telling him that I wanted to separate expenses he stated that you could only have one of these cards at a time and denied me!:mad:
