75,000 Point Offer from Amex Platinum Personal

The offer is a solid one for this card without an exorbitant spend. Just make sure you have a plan for using your points within the year and/or a plan to maximize benefits as the $550 annual fee will offset that bonus in few short years.

75,000 Offer on No-fee Chase Ink Cards

The Chase Ink Cash and Unlimited have 75,000 limited time offers for spending $7,500 in 3 months. If you can swing the spend, now is the time to get one of these cards. We particularly love the Chase Cash (which is still points by the way unless you cash them in) with it's really useful 5x spend categories.

New Limited Time Offer on United Explorer Card

This 70,000 offer on the United Explorer personal card is the best we can remember. It is a tiered offer of 60,000 points for $3,000 in 3 months, and 10,000 more for $6,000 total in the first 6 months. Keep in mind, it has to have been at least 24 months since your last BONUS on this card to qualify. Other United cards won't preclude you from getting approved, within reason.
