Best signup bonus ever for: Citi Premier (80K points), Chase IHG Premier WEMC (150K points, 1st year free), and Barclays Wyndham Visa (three cards, 60-90K points each)

7/17/2021

Citi Premier has seen the best signup bonus ever - 80,000 ThankYou points with a $95 annual fee (our value $1,105).
Citi Prestige has been pulled from Citi website and is discontinued to new applications until further notice. There are two possibilities: one is that it will be gone for ever as Citi might exit the fierce high-end card market, and the other is that Citi might be working on a major revamp and will bring it back at some point in the future. We might have to pull it from our Top 10 list pending further confirmation.
Chase IHG Premier WEMC also offers the best ever - 150,000 IHG Rewards points with the 1st annual fee waiver (our value $600).
Barclays Wyndham Visa cards also hit historical high: 60,000 Wyndham Rewards points on earner Visa, 90,000 points on either earner+ Visa or earner Business Visa. Our valuation for these three offers are $470~$625.

There have been quite a few exciting recent offers:

The iconic Amex Platinum Card got revamped to increase the annual fee from $550 to $695 and add four new categories of annual credits ($200 for prepaid hotel via Fine Hotels & Resorts or the Hotel Collection, $179 for CLEAR membership, $300 for Equinox memberships, $240 for digital entertainment access). On top of that, it now comes with an amazing signup bonus of 125,000 points + 15x points on dining & small businesses for 6 months, arguably the best ever in history. The revamp, however, didn't change its position on our Top 10 List.
Amex Business Platinum Card doesn't receive a full revamp with the annual fee being kept at $595 but receives $179 CLEAR credit for free.
Following Chase British Visa, now Aer Lingus Visa and Iberia Visa also have a 100,000 point offer with an easy $5,000 spending requirement. This is also considered the best offer ever on either card.
Chase United Business Visa now offers 150,000 miles with a $20K spending requirement within 6 months. For those who could meet the spending requirement, this is undoubtedly the historical high.
Chase United Explorer Visa now offers 70,000 miles with an easy $3K spending requirement.
Chase Freedom Flex and Freedom Unlimited have an elevated 20,000 points + 5x on groceries for 12 months offer.
