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!
Ryan

#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

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.

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.

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.
