On one hand, I might want access to the card’s benefits, such as lounge access, elite status or high earning rates for specific spending categories. But other times, it’s a high first-year value that I’m after, and that usually means a big sign-up bonus. If you fall into that second camp, you may want to know that we regularly update our list of credit cards that can get you [$1,000 or more in first-year value](. Currently at the top of our list is [The Business Platinum Card® from American Express]( giving new cardmembers an estimated net first-year value of $3,844 based on TPG's August [valuations](. But sitting in the still-very-high third spot on our list is the [Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card]( which our valuations put at $2,365 in net value for new cardholders in the first year. The current [limited-time welcome bonus of 120,000 points]( after you spend $8,000 on the card within three months of account opening is the best offer we’ve ever seen for this card, [and it’s only available until Sept. 5](. If you’re looking for a consumer card, the [Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card]( also ranks high on our list, with an estimated $1,643 in net first-year value for new cardmembers based on our valuations. This one also has a value-packed limited-time [welcome offer of 75,000 bonus miles]( after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening, plus new cardholders get a [$250 Capital One Travel credit]( in their first year. This offer is also ending soon. Rounding out our list is the ever-popular [American Express® Gold Card]( with $1,215 in estimated net first-year value based on our valuations.
