As I'm currently focused on gardening and finishing the clean up of my reports, apps are in the back of my mind, BUT, if the right offer came around, I wouldn't want to pass on it. So, I thought we should create a data thread to track the highest SUBs, referrals, BT, and retention offers.
Basically what I need from everyone, is the highest offers they've seen, and where they've seen it. I'll update the original post with them. This can include all cards so if Nordstrom is offering $60 in Nordy notes for $100 spend, or target is offering $40 gift card for $100 spend, they should be listed as well. Thanks.

Yeah, I can update if it's currently running or there's an end date, but it's more about the highest seen. If amex Platinum regularly pops up 100k, why would you apply at 40k MRs. Know what I mean?. Though, if it's seasonal, that would be a good datapoint to add.
It'll be fun to keep updated. But I'll start!

Excellent topic! I have a couple of goal cards in mind for the second part of the year (after my mortgage closes), so this will be an important thread for my research. Thanks for starting this one.

Maybe someone cant hit the spend requirement or just doesnt chase the highest sub. If i get a SUB, that's great if not im fine with that too
Then again im not the normal MFer or Subhunter

It has nothing to do with sub chasing. When you can only have 1 sub in a lifetime for amex and have to wait 2 years for one on chase, being able to maximize those opportunities is important when you're talking about hundreds of dollars. For someone that can't make those spends, they're probably not worried about getting the highest sub anyways. In addition to that, you're focusing on the normal big names that get thrown around. This thread is for all cards, hence me mentioning Nordstrom's and Target. Even a LIE can use an extra $20 for the same spend as a lower offer, which both of these cards have done. Then there's the cash back cards with $150 for $500 spend, freedom unlimited with $200 back on $500 spend, etc.
