[Updated 3/21 to include best-ever IHG 200k offer]

If you're familiar with any of the hotel programs below and have been thinking about a new card, these offers might be interesting and valuable as most of them offer free night awards. And always, you can find the full list of best card offers on our ​Best Cards Page​.

IHG

This best-ever offer is a great option, especially because IHG points don't often make sense as a way to use transferrable points. That said, you can often buy them for ~$0.50/each, so consider this bonus worth ~$1000.

• IHG One Rewards Premier Business Credit Card
  Up to 200k points, 140k after a $4k spend in 3 months + 60k after a $9k total spend in 6 months.

Marriott

I've long been a fan of Marriott points because the chain has so many amazing luxury hotels all over the world (e.g. St Regis, Ritz Carlton, Luxury Collection). Despite some recent devaluations, there are plenty of deals to take advantage of across their portfolio, so if you're familiar enough with the program to maximize it, these welcome offers (that are almost double the usual offer) could be of great value. 

• Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card
  Earn 185k Marriott Bonvoy bonus points after a $6k spend in 6 months. Plus, receive 1 Free Night Award every year and earn 6x points at Marriott, 3x on worldwide restaurants and flights booked directly with airlines, 2x on everything else.

• Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card
  Earn 155k Marriott Bonvoy bonus points after a $5k spend in 6 months. You can also earn 1 Free Night Award after spending $15,000 on eligible purchases within a calendar year.

• Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card
  Earn 3 Free Night Awards after a $6k spend in 6 months. Each Free Night Award has a redemption level up to 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points, for a total potential value of up to 150k points.

Hilton

After Hilton partnered with Small Luxury Hotels, we booked an incredible stay at Cap Rocat on our recent Europe trip with Hilton points that saved us $10k+. Ever since then, we've gotten a lot more excited about earning Hilton cards and Free Night Certificates (which you can earn with the first two cards below). All three offers below end on 4/29/2025.

• Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card
  130k Hilton Honors bonus points, plus a Free Night Reward after a $3k spend in 6 months. 

• Hilton Honors American Express Card
  70k Hilton Honors bonus points, plus a Free Night Reward after a $2k spend in 6 months. 

• The Hilton Honors American Express Business Card
  175k Hilton Honors bonus points after a $8k spend in 6 months.
