With the Chase Sapphire Reserve’s 100,000 bonus coming to an end soon, you might be left feeling like all the good bonuses are gone. Fortunately, there are always a ton of good rewards cards to consider – including ones with epic signup bonuses.
If you’re in the market for a new card for the new year, check out these awesome options:
Ink Business Preferred Credit Card
If you missed out on the Chase Sapphire Reserve’s huge bonus, you can still earn a similar bonus provided you have a business to apply with. With the Ink Business Preferred Credit Card, you’ll earn 80,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards after you use your card for $5,000 in purchases within the first three months. And unlike the Chase Sapphire Reserve, this card comes with just a $95 annual fee that is waived for the first year!
Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard
If you’re into huge signup bonuses and want a little more flexibility in how you use your points, don’t forget about the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard. This card doles out 50,000 points worth $500 in travel after you use your card for $3,000 in purchases within the first 90 days. The $89 annual fee is waived the first year, and you’ll also earn 2x points for each dollar you spend.
Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card
The Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card is one of my favorite hotel credit cards, mainly because it’s so darn easy to use. Once you use your card for $2,500 in purchases in the first four months, you’ll earn two free weekend nights at almost any Hilton property worldwide. With Hilton HHonors points more devalued than ever, earning two free nights irrespective of how many points it costs is an awesome deal.
Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express
Even though Starwood Preferred Guest has begun to formally merge with Marriott, you can still sign up for the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express. The fact that you can transfer starpoints to Marriott makes these points more valuable and versatile than ever! Right now, this card offers a 25,000 point signup bonus after you use your card for $3,000 in purchases within the first 90 days.
American Express Business Platinum Card
If you’re able to get a business credit card and can apply before January 25, 2017, the American Express Business Platinum card is an awesome deal. Right now, you’ll earn 50,000 points after you use your card for $5,000 in purchases within the first three months, then another 50,000 points if you can spend an additional $10,000 on your card within the same timeframe. This card does come with a $450 annual fee, but it also has a $200 airline incidental credit, lounge access, and more.
Final Thoughts
If you didn’t get the Chase Sapphire Reserve 100K offer, don’t despair. There are plenty of other awesome offers to consider – any of which can help you see the world at prices you can afford.
