Top Credit Card Offers
Airline miles & credit card points mean that you don’t need to be rich to travel often. Anyone with good credit can take a dream trip anywhere if they focus spending on new credit cards to unlock sign up bonuses.
Every month, we assess all of the current available card offers and rank them based on a number of criteria, such as signup bonuses, ongoing value, annual fees charged, and perks included for the cardholder.
Use the list below as a guide to work your way through top to bottom in order to earn the highest return on your spend and maximize the benefits of these cards.

10 Best Credit Cards Under 5/24
1. Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

100,000 bonus points after $5,000 in purchases in your first 3 months from account opening.
Annual Fee: $95
Ultimate Rewards transfer 1:1 to United, Singapore, British Airways, Iberia, Southwest, Virgin Atlantic, JetBlue, Hyatt, and more.
The Sapphire Preferred earns 3x points on dining, streaming services, and online grocery purchases. Sapphire Preferred also earns 2x points on travel. Dining includes bars, restaurants, and fast food. Travel includes airfare, hotels, taxis, rental cars, tolls, parking, and much more.
The Sapphire Preferred is arguably the best card for those just dipping their toe in the travel credit cards rewards pond: The points are versatile, category bonuses solid, and the annual fee isn’t significant.
Make sure you’re under Chase’s 5/24 rule before you apply for this card.

2a. Chase Ink Business Cash® Credit Card

Earn $350 when you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first three months and an additional $400 when you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first six months after account opening
Annual Fee: $0
The Chase Ink Business Cash Credit Card technically comes with a $750 cash back sign up bonus for spending $7,500 within the first three months, but what you are actually earning is 75,000 bonus Ultimate Reward points.
I said technically above because it is marketed as a cash back card. But the Ultimate Reward points it earns don’t have to be redeemed for 1 cent each, as most card advertisements lead you to believe. If you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve®, or Chase Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card, you can transfer the 50k Ink Business Cash Ultimate Rewards to one of those accounts to turn them into the kind of Ultimate Rewards earned by the respective account that are transferrable to nine airline or three hotel loyalty programs for outsized value on international/premium cabin award flights and expensive hotel rooms.
Alternatively, moving them to your Sapphire Reserve card also means you can redeem the points for 1.5 cents each on cash flights through the Chase travel portal, which is often the better deal (compared to turning them into airline miles) for domestic flights.
Category bonuses on this card are lucrative as well:
- 5 Ultimate Reward points per dollar on the first $25,000 in combined purchases at office supply stores and on cellular phone, landline, internet and cable TV services.
- 2 Ultimate Reward points per dollar on the first $25,000 in combined purchases at gas stations and restaurants
And you get all of this for no annual fee, ever. Just don’t charge foreign purchases on it as you’ll get hit with fees.
If you have a Sapphire Reserve, Preferred, or Ink Business Preferred, then I highly recommend scooping up this card for its earning potential with that 5x category bonus points in business specific expenses. Even if you don’t have one of those other Chase cards, 5x points redeemed as 5 cents cash back from office supplies, cell phone, landline, internet, and cable TV services is a fantastic return.

2b. Chase Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card

Earn $750 bonus cash back after you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
Annual Fee: $0
The Chase Ink Business Unlimited Card offers a sign up bonus of $900 cash back for spending $6000 within three months of account opening.
Just like the Ink Business Cash, however, if you also hold a Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, or Ink Business Preferred, then you can transfer those Ultimate Rewards earned by the Ink Business Unlimited to your other Chase account and they magically turn into the kind of Ultimate Rewards that can be transferred to airline loyalty programs, increasing their value dramatically.
What’s also pretty appealing about this card, which is the business counterpart to the Chase Freedom Unlimited® consumer card, is that it will earn 1.5 points on ALL purchases with no cap. That’s a great return (especially if you can transfer those Ultimate Rewards to a more valuable account) for no annual fee. This card charges foreign transaction fees so it won’t be a good option to use when traveling.
Highlights

3. Chase Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card

Earn 90,000 bonus points after you spend $8,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
Annual Fee: $95
The Chase Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card offers 100,000 bonus Ultimate Rewards after spending $8,000 in the first three months.
Ultimate Rewards transfer 1:1 to United, British Airways, Singapore, Korean, Southwest, Virgin Atlantic, Hyatt, and more.
The Ink Preferred earns 3x points on travel; shipping; internet, cable, and phone services; and search engine or social network advertising (on the first $150,000 spent annually), and 1x points on everything else.
You’ll also get up to $600 in coverage per claim in cell phone protection against theft or damage for you and your employees, as long as you pay that cell’s bill with the Ink Preferred.
This business card offers solid benefits and return on spending as a stand-alone card and allows you to earn a lot of Ultimate Rewards points quickly if you can meet the minimum spend requirement.
Highlights

Travel, Shipping, Internet, Cable, Phone Services, Search Engine/Social Network Advertising (first $150,000 spent annually)

4. Chase Sapphire Reserve®

Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
Annual Fee: $550
The Chase Sapphire Reserve® offers 50,000 Ultimate Rewards after $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. Points earned by the Sapphire Reserve transfer to all the same airline and hotel partners as the Sapphire Preferred. You can also redeem them for 1.5 cents each towards normal cash flights, which can be a better deal than redeeming miles within the United States.
This premium credit card comes with lots of lucrative benefits to offset the annual fee:
- $300 travel credit each cardmember year (not calendar year)
- $100 credit to cover the application fee for Global Entry or TSAPre √ every four years
- Priority Pass Select membership, which grants access to over 1,200 lounges around the world and guest access for two fellow travelers
- A year of free Lyft Pink membership (15% off rides, priority airport pickups, etc)
The Sapphire Reserve offers 3x Ultimate Rewards on travel purchases, which kicks in after you’ve earned the $300 travel credit. You’ll also earn 3x at restaurants. Travel and restaurants are broad categories and include flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, tolls, parking, rideshare services, taxis, restaurants, bars, fast food, and night clubs.

- 5% cash back on travel purchased through Chase Ultimate Rewards
- 3% cash back on dining, takeout, and eligible delivery services

Chase has made significant improvements to it’s no annual fee Chase Freedom Unlimited® card over the last few months, causing it to be a more serious contender for space in your wallet.
This card earns a $200 bonus in the form of 20,000 Ultimate Rewards points after spending $500 in the first 3 months of card membership.
First, they introduced a new signup promotion for cardmembers – earns 5x Ultimate Rewards points on grocery store purchases on up to $12,000 spent in the first year.
Then, they added bonus categories to the previously universal 1.5% earning card:
- 5x on travel purchased through Chase Ultimate Rewards
- 3x on dining, takeout, and eligible delivery services

- 1.5x on everything else.

8. IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card

Annual Fee: $89
The current offer for the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card is for 140,000 bonus points. This is slightly down from the all-time high offer on this card, but still a good move.
Don’t know what IHG is? You’re not alone. Unlike Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt, you have probably never seen an “IHG Hotel” along the side of the road. IHG hotels include Intercontinental, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, Candlewood Suites, and more. There are more than 5,000 of them to choose from worldwide, so they have a fantastic portfolio of diverse properties located around the world.
Generally, IHG points and redemptions are better suited outside of the US where IHG has better hotel offerings than here in the U.S., but you can have some good redemptions domestically as well.
Many IHG properties go for as little as 10,000 points per night, with their high end properties pricing out around 80,000 points per night.

Annual Fee: $95
The signup bonus on the The World of Hyatt Credit Card was just downgraded recently by requiring a higher minimum spend.
But even with the increased spending requirement, 60,000 World of Hyatt points is enough to earn you two free nights at some of the best Hyatt properties in the world.
What really makes this card earn a long-term slot in your wallet is the annual free night certificate, which is good for a category 1-4 Hyatt property anywhere in the world. This perk alone can easily save you hundreds of dollars.
