Chase has brought the best signup bonuses ever for its two no-annual-fee business cards Ink Cash and Ink Unlimited: 90,000 Ultimate Rewards (UR) points (advertised as $900 cash) with a lower spending requirement of $6,000 within 3 months. If you don't have a premium UR card, 90,000 points' best value will just be $900 in cash; however, if you have a premier UR card such as Ink Preferred and Sapphire Preferred, the points earned on Ink Cash/Unlimited can be transferred into the premier UR account and thus eligible for the frequent traveler miles/points transfer feature which in our book elevates UR points to 1.5 cents per point, and in this way, 90,000 points will be worth about $1,350. Thus, these are arguably also the best UR points bonuses among all current Chase UR cards: Ink Preferred ($95) offers 100,000 points with a tough $15,000 spending requirement; Ink Premier ($195) offers 100,000 points with a $10,000 spending requirement and their points cannot be transferred to any other Chase UR card, capping the maximum value to be $1,000; Sapphire Reserve offers 80,000 points but the annual fee is $550 (effectively $250 considering the annual $300 travel credit).

Citi has brought back the best signup offers ever for two of its popular personal cards:
Chase has increased signup bonus for Sapphire Reserve from 50,000 to 60,000 points, while cutting it down for Sapphire Preferred from 80,000 to 60,000 points. There are also various other changes in our Promotion page.  It is a good thing that Chase has brought back the best offer for its Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Visa after two years. You will receive five free nights at Marriott portfolio hotels, each with a redemption level up to 50,000 points, after you spend $5,000 within 3 months of new account opening. The free night e-certificate expires 12 months after issuance; you might also top off the free night certificate with your own Marriott points, up to 15,000 additional points for a higher redemption level. We value each of the free night certifications close to 50K Marriott points (for hotel redemptions only): $300 for each certificate, valued at 0.6 cents per point, because the flexibility of topping off free nights. The signup bonus minus annual fee is worth $1,450 in our book!
Chase Aeroplan World Elite MasterCard is now rated #3 Best Credit Card by Dr. Credit Card. As you may use Aeroplan points on Air Canada or its partner airlines (Star Alliance) including United Airlines, it could be a good card for U.S. consumers for travel awards within U.S. and worldwide.
   It appears that we have seen some best signup bonuses ever on the two very popular Amex charge cards. These offers are via referral links and now definitely better than the ones on Resy.com (Amex partner website), which again are much better than Amex's own website. Keep in mind that some of these referral links show different results based on your browser setting and sometime simply the time you visit - it is recommended to visit the links in the private browsing mode of your browser; sometimes, you might need to try multiple times to see them; sometimes, clearing caches/history in your browser helps too.
  In 2021, Amex had arguably the best offer ever for its iconic Platinum Card via Resy: 125,000 points with $6K spending requirement + 15x points on dining for the first 6 months. In 2022, we still have two very amazing offers that are pretty close to historical best:
The last thing to note is that Amex BUSINESS Platinum Card also offers 150,000 points at this time, but with a much more difficult spending requirement ($15,000 within 3 months). Amex has introduced some amazing signup offers for its Hilton Honors cobranded credit cards, arguably the best we have seen:
Chase has some amazing signup offers too. These offers give you Southwest Companion Pass status through 2/28/2023. Companion Pass is Southwest's potentially extremely lucrative top-tier elite status that allows you take a companion free of airline charges (not including taxes and government fees) on any Southwest operated flight as many times as you want and is normally achieved by flying 100 qualified one-way segments or earning 125,000 qualifying points in a calendar year.
Just a month after hugely improving its Miles program that allows frequent traveler miles/points transfer to 15 partners at 1:1 ratio, Capital One brought us its first ever high-end credit card - Venture X Visa Infinite Card, with the following impressive features:
