Citi Prestige has a good offer of 50k points, $250 airfare credit, AAdmirals Club access and 4th night hotel stay for free. The AF isn't waived but if you use the benefits wisely they basically eliminate it. The Premier also has 50k point and first year AF waived.

I agree if you get a targeted offer of 100k for Amex Platinum consider yourself very lucky.

...or the 100K mailer for Citi Prestige for that matter.


Oh that sounds juicy... A) ony if ciit "liked" me B) got that offer Smiley Happy

Re: Best Sign up Bonus

The Hyatt card has one of the highest potential sign up bonuses that I've seen that's not a targeted offer. It could be valued over $2k if used at the Maldives property, or one of the other extravagant properties in Asia. Even a simple 2-night stay at most Park Hyatts can easily be valued between $400-1000+. Other notable sign up bonuses include the SPG 35k offer, Ritz 140k offer, AA Executive 100k, AmEx Platinum 100k, and the Ink cards.

Re: Best Sign up Bonus

Thanks everyone, very helpful. I was just curious and not necessarily going to apply for anything. The Ritz-Carlton offer seems to be the best one just from a points perspective but like many of you have said it really depends on how you utilize those points that determines their real value.

If you can get a business card the Chase Ink Plus sign up bonus for 60k points is what I would go after.


I want to switch from the ink bold to ink plus. In the summer isn't it normal for the ink plus to have a 70k bonus is or is 60k going to be as good as it gets? 


I have heard that the 70k was a one time thing once the chase ink bold was removed. I dont think the 70k has came more than once, but if it does that would be the best offer in my opinion. To me UR points are valued at around 2 cents per point. If you know what you're doing.
