Amex has recently increased the welcome offer for several of the co-branded Delta SkyMiles. This current offer is +25,000 higher than the best offer found on 02/06/25 for the Reserve card. This offer ends 10/29/2025. Other cards match the Bonus Miles of the best offer found on 02/06/25.

This means that if you’re planning to pick up any of these Delta SkyMiles cards, it’s probably a good time to do, as we haven’t seen offers this high in the previous 7 months.

Here is the list of the current offers:

Delta SkyMiles® Gold: Earn 80,000 Bonus Miles after you spend $3,000 in eligible purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Offer Ends 10/29/2025. (The previous offer was 50,000)

THIS DEAL HAS EXPIRED.

There is a new offer for the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card and it’s the best we’ve seen historically. Now earn 75,000 Miles and a one-time $250 Capital One Travel credit to use in your first cardholder year once you spend $4,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. We see this being worth about $1,000 in travel, which is better than the previous offer which didn’t have this $250 travel credit.

THIS DEAL HAS EXPIRED – WE ARE LEAVING THE OLD OFFER DETAILS HERE SO WE CAN COMPARE IT TO FUTURE OFFERS.

These new offers are 10,000 more than what they were previously last month. Of these offerings, we think that the United Explorer Card has the best perk to annual fee ratio because we find a lot of value in being able to use it to book on United Basic Economy and get the free first bag perk with priority boarding. Those two perks alone negate a lot of the downside to basic economy.

Click for more details and booking links DEAL EXPIRED – United MileagePlus® Credit Cards: Welcome offers have increased. Now earn between 30,000 to 90,000 points depending on the card.

There is a new offer for the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card and the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority Credit Card. Earn a $400 statement credit and 40,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 4 months from account opening.

This offer is competitive to the previous offers for this card. The previous high was an 85,000 point offer which was last seen on Jun 5th, 2024. We consider this offer to be competitive because a $400 statement credit is worth about 40,000 points if you value 1 point being equal to about 1 cent. When you add the statement credit together with the 40,000 points you get for opening the account, it is roughly the same value in our opinion.

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.

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 offer for the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card has increased from 85,000 to 155,000 Marriott Bonvoy® Bonus Points. The welcome offer applies after spending $5,000 in the first 6-months of being approved for the card. ‡ See Rates and Fees; terms apply.

This is the best offer we’ve seen for this card. We only recommend getting this card if you are already a Marriott loyalist as the $250 annual fee will be hard to justify unless you are consistently earning 6x and 1000 points per stay.
