[THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily NEWSLETTER]( [THE POINTS GUY]( Valuable sign-up bonuses
by Katie Genter, Senior Writer
[TPG | Hero Image] There are many reasons you might consider getting a new [rewards credit card](. But one aspect at the front of many travelers' minds is the welcome offer or sign-up bonus. The bonuses on some cards provide points, miles or cash-back rewards worth $1,000 or more once you reach the specified [minimum spending requirements](. The value youâll get from these bonuses will vary depending on how you redeem your rewards, but weâve valued the bonuses based on our [points and miles valuations](. Offers change frequently. But [The Platinum Card® from American Express]( currently offers 80,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $8,000 on eligible purchases within the first six months of card membership. Based on our valuations, these points are worth $1,600. The [Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card]( and [Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card]( both offer 75,000 bonus miles once you spend $4,000 on purchases within the first three months from account opening. Our valuations peg the value of these bonus miles at $1,388. Meanwhile, the [Chase Sapphire Reserve]( and [Chase Sapphire Preferred Card]( both offer 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Based on our valuations, these bonus points are worth $1,200. And if youâre interested in a small-business card, the [Ink Business Preferred Credit Card]( currently offers 100,000 bonus points after you spend $8,000 on purchases in the first three months after account opening. These bonus points are worth $2,000 according to our valuations. To learn more about great card offers, check out the following stories: - [Here are the best credit card welcome offers this month](
