๐Ÿ›ซ Travel, Points & Miles

๐Ÿ’ณ Up to 350k Bonus Miles with Biz Card Welcome Offer

If you're a high spender, the โ€‹Capital One Venture X Business cardโ€‹ has a really interesting limited-time welcome offer of up to 350k bonus miles: 150k miles after a $30k spend in 3 months, plus 200k after a $200k spend in 6 months. Because the card also earns 2x on all spend, the $200k spend in 6 months would earn a total of 750k points, which is an effective 3.75% back. โ€‹This offerโ€‹ is definitely not for everyone, but if you have a lot of spend, it could be worth a look.

๐Ÿ’ธ Reminder: Limited Time Bonus Worth $1,250+

I still think this is one of the best deals of the year! The โ€‹Chase Sapphire Preferred® Cardโ€‹ is one of my โ€‹favorite travel cardsโ€‹ and currently has a limited-time welcome offer of 100,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases within the first 3 months. It could actually be worth $1,250+ if redeemed strategically—I share more details about this and the many perks of this card in โ€‹this blog postโ€‹. I'm sharing this again because I've gotten emails from subscribers who mentioned they missed it.
