Chase has recently changed the sign-up bonus for the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card and the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card. You can now earn a companion-pass that is good until February 28, 2026 and also gain 30,000 Rapid Rewards points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of being approved for one of these cards.

Amex has recently increased the welcome offer for several of the co-branded Delta SkyMiles.
Here is the list of the current offers:
Delta SkyMiles® Gold: 80,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $3,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership.
Delta SkyMiles® Platinum: 90,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $4,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership.
Delta SkyMiles® Reserve: 100,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $6,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership.
Chase has increased the sign-up bonus for the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card and the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card to 85,000 points. Bonus will post to your account after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
Our notes: This is the highest point offering we’ve seen for this card. Previous high was 75,000 last December. As for other offers, it seems that every February there is an offer that includes a companion pass + about 30,000 points. The companion pass offer may be better than this one, depending on how much you’re able to use it.
If you have been looking to get a Chase Sapphire Card, now may be a good time to pick one up due to an additional statement credit bonus for new card members. Get up to $300 in statement credit on Chase Travel℠ purchases within your first year and also earn 60,000 bonus points after $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of card membership. The offer that was previously running did not include any statement credit bonus.
When compared to previous offers such as the May 2023 offer of 80,000 points or the May 2024 offer of 75,000 points this new October 2024 offer is a good value. Hypothetically, if you were to convert $300 to points at a penny per point, you would end up with 30,000 + the 60,000 sign-up offer.
You may be able to get a higher point offer by applying in-person at a local Chase branch office in person. There is a 70,000 + $300 offer available in branch only, but the spending requirements are higher, $6,000 in 6 months.

This deal that we mentioned a few days ago is back on.
ZIPAIR Tokyo has round-trip flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) for $434, NONSTOP. Flights October to November. Extended weekends available. Origin/Destination reversible. No Thanksgiving dates.
Some small OTAs on Skyscanner and Google have this for as low as $414; which is cheaper than the airline. If you plan on booking there, beware of any site that charges a fee to cancel a ticket within the 24-hour “free” period. Use unknown booking sites at your own risk.
Other cities may be able to make use of this deal by booking a flight into LAX to catch the NRT departure. If you plan on doing this make sure to give yourself ample time for getting your bags and making the connection. It may be best to arrive the day before in some cases.
Chase has increased the sign-up bonus to 120,000 Ultimate Rewards points after spending $8,000 in the first 3-months of being approved for the card. This is an increase of +20,000 points when compared to the previous offer. This is the highest sign-up offer we’ve seen for this card so-far.
Amex has recently increased the welcome offer for several of the co-branded Delta SkyMiles.
Here is the list of the current offers:
Delta SkyMiles® Gold: 65,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $3,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership.
Delta SkyMiles® Platinum: 85,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $4,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership.
Delta SkyMiles® Reserve: 95,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $6,000 in purchases on your new card in your first 6 months of card membership.
Amex has recently increased the welcome offer for the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card to 5 Free Night Awards after spending $8,000 in the first 6-months of card membership. The previous offer was 3 nights. Each bonus Free Night Award has a max redemption value of 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points. Which means that if you maximize where you stay, this welcome bonus is equivalent to 250,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points. Resort fees & terms apply.
This card has an annual fee of $125 so we can only recommend this card if you’re a Marriott loyalist that can utilize the card perks enough to offset the annual fee.
We update our list of the best limited time offers every week, but we only send out this recap when there have been significant additions to the list. In this post we list coupon codes, discount codes, gift card discounts, and we watch for increases in credit card offers.
Current standout offers are a new 75,000 Ultimate Rewards points sign-up offer. Costco selling their $500 Southwest gift-cards for only $429. Hyatt is offering 20% off Asia/Pacific Hotels (registration required). Amex is offering $50 off when you spend $250 at Grand Hyatt (registration required). Hopper offers the following coupons: $100 off Singapore Airlines flights to Singapore, $50 Air New Zealand, $100 off Fiji Airways. $50 off Royal Air Maroc flights, $50 off Air India flights.
EXPIRED DEAL – This deal has expired. The welcome offer has reverted back to 60,000. We are leaving the expired details in this post so we can compare future offers to this expired one. All links in this page are disable.
Chase has increased the sign-up bonus for both the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card the new sign-up bonus is now 75,000 after spending $4,000 in the first 3-months of being approved for the card. The previous offer was 60,000. The Sapphire line of cards allow you to transfer points into various hotel and airline point programs. In our opinion, these are two of the best card to hold as a traveler. I personally use Ultimate Rewards points to transfer into Hyatt and United fairly often; those two partners work well with where I’m located and Hyatt has extremely good point redemption options.
A slightly better offer for 80,000 was available around this time last year, but we think this 75,000 point offer is worthwhile as well, especially when considering that we haven’t seen any other offers better than this one for the past 11-months.
The welcome bonus for the United Business Card is now 100,000 MileagePlus after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of being approved for the card. This card has an annual fee of $99.
This is a business card, but you can apply for this card as a sole proprietor. If this is the case for you, then use your personal social security number when applying instead of your Business EIN. If you don’t have a DBA, use your real name as the business name.
We’re recommending this card now because the 100,000 bonus is much higher than the previous 50,000 and 75,000 mile offerings that we’ve seen over the past 12-months.
