Here’s a roundup of the best credit card welcome offers available in November 2025.

Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card was just revamped with a welcome offer of 75K Ultimate Rewards®! As of June 23, 2025, Chase has introduced significant changes to the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card bonus eligibility and rewards structure. Welcome offers are now limited, which means if you’ve previously earned a bonus on the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, you may not be eligible to earn it again. 



Chase Sapphire Reserve®

The Chase Sapphire Reserve® has an increased welcome offer—and an increased annual fee. However, many of the card’s credits and other benefits may still make this card a worthwhile option for someone who can take advantage of them. And most high annual fees are worth paying, at least in the first year.

Last, but not least, we have a huge business card offering! And because it’s a business card, that means it won’t count towards your 5/24 status. Yes, it, too, has a high annual fee and a HUGE minimum spend. I applied for it and was approved immediately. If you have any big expenses coming up, this minimum spend may be easier to meet. However, one notable point to consider is that the Chase card has a more extended timeframe than usual—six months instead of three—to reach the high minimum spend. This longer period may make this card a more realistic option for a broader range of people.

 

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Card has an increased welcome offer of 125,000 Marriott Bonvoy Rewards, plus a 50K free-night certificate. The minimum spend is $3,000 in the first three months. Remember that a 50K free night certificate can be topped off with up to 15K points to make it more valuable.

Citi® / AAdvantage Business™ World Elite Mastercard®

Earn 75K of one of our favorite airplane miles and NOT count towards your 5/24 spot? Sign us up! This is enough for a business-class flight to many places! The Citi® / AAdvantage Business™ World Elite Mastercard® is a great card to consider.

American Express® Gold Card

This card is a keeper card for us because it offers four points per dollar spent at restaurants worldwide (on up to $50,000 in purchases per calendar year), four points per dollar spent on eligible purchases at U.S. supermarkets (on up to $25,000 in purchases per calendar year), and then one point per dollar on other eligible purchases. 

If you are interested in the American Express® Green Card, you will want to apply for that one before applying for the American Express® Gold Card. American Express now has a specific family language requiring you to get them in a certain order, or you will be locked out of the welcome offer.

American Express Platinum Card®

This is another one that I’ll always have in my wallet because I can more than offset the annual fee by taking advantage of all of its benefits.

If you are interested in the American Express® Green Card or the American Express® Gold Card, you will want to apply for those before applying for the American Express Platinum Card®. American Express now has a specific family language requiring you to get them in a certain order, or you will be locked out of the welcome offer.

Capital One Spark Cash Plus

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 in cash back after spending $30,000 in three months.  If you have a Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card or Capital One Venture X Rewards 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.

Air Canada Aeroplan® Credit Card

The Air Canada Aeroplan® Credit Card is a strong choice for frequent travelers, especially those who fly with Air Canada or its Star Alliance partners. It offers up to three points per dollar spent on direct purchases from Air Canada, groceries, and dining (including takeout and eligible delivery services), and one point per dollar on other purchases. With flexible redemption options and no foreign-transaction fees, the card delivers excellent travel value for its $95 annual fee. We use Air Canada Aeroplan to book many of our flights with partner airlines!

    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?

  2. Pam says:

    You could downgrade it: https://travelmomsquad.com/how-to-downgrade-a-chase-card/

    Or cancel it and wait a few weeks to reapply. It must be 48 months since you got your welcome offer.

  3. Jamie Elizabeth Mulholland says:

    You mention 75,000 reward points for the Ink Business card. Is that a guarantee because I can’t find point bonus information on the website linked above.

    • Pam says:

      It is a tiered bonus of $350 when you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first three months and an additional $400 when you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first six months after account opening. As long as you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve, or Ink Business Preferred that translates to 35,000 Ultimate Rewards and then 45,000 Ultimate Rewards.

  4. Amy Norris says:

    Do the IHG cards count toward 5/24?

  5. Renee says:

    I opened a Chase Sapphire Preferred in November 2023. Am I still eligible for the Sapphire Sub if I recieve the card and meet the spend for the 100k points?

    • Pam says:

      Although it says you can hold the CSP and CSR, it does not appear that people are being eligible for the second unless they have downgraded that CSP first.

  6. John says:

    I’m active duty Navy and have a number of cards, including:

    1. CSR
    2. Chase Marriott Boundless
    3. AMEX Gold
    4. AMEX Hilton Aspire
    5. AMEX Green

    Wife has:

    1. CSP
    2. AMEX Green
    3. Chase United Quest

    Except for the United Quest, we have completed the SUBs for all cards above. All the cards above are free for us as active duty and we are churning only to get the highest welcome bonuses. We don’t have any particular things we spend money on.

    Do you have any recommendations for the next card(s) we should get? Thank you.

    P2 is at 4/24 and does not qualify for business cards. We typically stay at airbnbs but hotels now and then for shorter stays or near airports etc.
    I was considering the IHG card as it has a bigger footprint in Europe, but would also love the Capital One Venture X
    He has not opened a card in about 6 months so I was thinking to go for the venture as they may approve him… but that gives up a spot in his 5/24
