Best Signup Bonuses that provide card number same day?

Wife has a 830+ FICO 8 across the board.


Looking for:

  • Use card same day approved (I know Amex allows, any others?)
  • Huge sign-up bonus
  • No Annual Fee

Any suggestions?

Re: Best Signup Bonuses that provide card number same day?

Of my 7 Amex applications...

4 were instant online approvals, 1 was online but went pending for ~24 hours, and 2 were instant approvals when I applied by phone.

0 gave the number at approval. It's not guaranteed.

Personal spend: Amex Gold, Amex Schwab Plat., BofA PR+CCR(x2), Costco
Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU
Perks: Delta Plat., United Explorer, IHG49, Hyatt, "Old SPG"
Mostly SD: Freedom Flex, Freedom, Arrival
Upgrade/Downgrade games: ED, BCE
SUB chasing: AA Platinum Select

Huge sign up bonus and no annual fee rarely go into the same sentence.....

Though some cards with a big SUB have a clearly established path for downgrading to a no-AF card after a year.

Agreed. From what I've seen, the highest with no AF is going to be around $150-200. I swear I saw a mailer at my house for the Wells Fargo Propel at $300, but I'm not 100% sure anymore and might be going crazy. The $500 ones almost always have $95 AF or greater.

She hates annual fees.  What would be some options at $95 fee?

Citi Premier or Chase Sapphire Preferred.

 

Spend 4K for ~600.

 

I don't think any major bank will give you instant card access.

She got approved for two cards:

 

Chase Freedom Unlimited 15k

Amex Cash Magnet 20k

834 EX FICO 8 

 

Just wanted to share the datapoints since this credit market we are in right now is wonky.


Thanks everyone!

The propel $300 sub was standard last year. Sometime around the new year wf lowered it to $200. Idk if wf is sending out targeted higher sub.

I am also not a fan of AF.  But that is why I choose cards that if they have one the benefits outweigh it yearly.
