Signing bonuses you wouldn't be able to turn down

Just curious what bonuses that you missed out on that you would jump on as soon as you saw it if it were to happen again. I am curious about offers that have actually been available lets says within the last 12 months but don't necessarily have to be public offers.

Mine would be
Ritz 140k and Prestige 100k

That Crystal Visa Infinite tho...100k bonus ponits, 400af waived first year, plus add 3 AUs that each get the $200 travel credit.  That was a pretty cool offer but I dont live in their area, nor am I rich, so yeah.  And there are strange reports on if the AUs will get the credit anyway, many were still waiting last time I checked. Not losing sleep over that.  Besides last thing I need to do is add in another bank at this point anyway.

 

I wish I would have had the SPG earlier than January 24th and transferred the points to Amtrak to redeem before their system changed (poor planning), but even after it is still a fabulous deal for transfers at 2.9c a point. (would have saved about 8k points each way on a bedroom type car reservation)

 

There was a good bonus on wyndham I believe that had 3 free nights that would have been great for HI and establishing with barclays.

 

 

 

I am VERY content with what bonuses I have been able to get thus far.  The community has really helped me stay focused most of the time!

I wanted the ritz 140k offer back, but since it didn't seem to be happen I will be 5/24 so unable to go for it in the foreseeable future. I got the amex plat 100k offer and I would take that again on a business plat.

Free Tshirt and Pen.  Miss those.

 

140k Ritz.  100k Platinum AX.

 

I know I have the guts to not apply, the Platinum showed up last week, and glad I didn't, because it's gone today!  Proof I either A. Was smart about my credit and didn't app.  B. Missed the 100k MR deal forever. Son of Odin.

 

The CSP is on my want list, as is the Disco IT and Marukai.  But those two whoppers up there?  Pure sexy to me.

I would have jumped on that 100k haha. I didn't have the guts to apply when the offer was public over the summer and I do regret it! Hopefully it comes around again.

That was a targetted offer but I already had the CSP by then. 

 

All of the others were available to me, but I didn't take them up for one reason or another.
