Credit card sign-up bonuses

Card issuers award a welcome bonus in points, miles or cash back when a new cardholder spends a set amount within the first few months. Value is redeemed as statement credits, cash, gift cards or travel.

Details

As of October 2026: Range is a rough estimate of redemption value; Oct 2026 examples include 60,000-point offers after $4,000 spend in 3 months (~$600) and Chase Sapphire Preferred 75,000 points after $5,000 spend (~$750). Annual fees and interest can wipe out the value.

What you need

  • Approval based on credit score and income (hard inquiry)
  • Meet minimum spend (often $1,000-$5,000 in ~3 months) with normal spending
  • Pay balance in full to avoid interest
  • Issuer eligibility rules (e.g., limits on recent cards/bonuses)

Things to know

  • Credit check
  • Accounts may be limited
