If you’ve been considering a new credit card, May is bringing the heat with some of the best welcome offers we’ve seen in a while. Whether you want to earn free hotel stays or rack up airline miles, these elevated offers are worth a closer look. Some deals are only available briefly, so now is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of these generous welcome offers. Here’s a roundup of the best credit card welcome offers available in May 2025.
The welcome offer hasn’t increased on this card, but meeting the minimum spend has gotten easier. This makes this card a great choice for those who might have skipped over this card in the past because felt like they couldn’t meet a $6K minimum spend in just three months. This card is marketed as a cash-back card, but you’ll earn Ultimate Rewards® as long as you also have the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, or the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card.
Alex, Jess, and I have all applied for this card as the welcome offer is ginormous! The ability to use it to pay our estimated taxes has helped us meet the larger minimum spending requirement. You’ll earn $2,000 cash back after $30K in spending in 3 months. If you have a Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card or Capital One Venture X Credit Card, this card’s welcome offer can be converted from $2,000 cash back to 200,000 Capital One Venture miles, which is what we’ll be doing. And another plus: it won’t count toward your 5/24 status.
Jess used Capital One Venture miles to fly business class on Turkish Airlines to Greece.
Now is the time to learn more about these cards and earn the best credit card welcome offers! We always advise applying when the welcome offer is high. Which of these elevated welcome offers intrigue you right now?

Hi! What do you recommend doing if we already have the sapphire preferred and want to apply again for the new sign up bonus of 100k?
