6-figure sign-up bonuses

by Kyle Olsen, Points & Miles Reporter

Last month, there were some great credit card offers, and luckily, many of them are continuing into this month — including the best-ever sign-up bonus on the Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Business Credit Card, which lets you qualify for the buy-one-get-one free Companion Pass with one credit card sign-up bonus.

Three popular cards are offering six-figure sign-up bonuses: There's a 120,000-point offer on The Business Platinum Card® from American Express after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases with your card within the first three months of card membership, a 100,000-point offer on the Ink Business Preferred Credit Card after you spend $8,000 in the first three months after card opening, and an offer of 100,000 bonus miles on the Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® after you spend $10,000 within the first three months of account opening.

Three of Hilton’s cards are also offering sign-up bonuses of at least 130,000 points.

As always, make sure you can meet the minimum spending requirement on cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card to qualify for the bonus, and make sure it’s worth taking one of your Chase 5/24 slots. You can always review our compilation of offer histories for the most popular travel credit cards.
