These offers are a lucrative credit card perk because you can leverage the cash back, points or miles you earn for high-value travel redemptions. Right now, the no-annual-fee [Chase Freedom Unlimited]( card is matching the cash back you earn in the first 12 months of card membership. There is no limit to how much you can earn, effectively doubling your earning potential in the first year. If you are a Southwest Airlines loyalist, you can fast-track your way to free flights for a friend or family member with a welcome offer of 75,000 Rapid Rewards points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening with the [Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card]( [Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit Card]( and [Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card](. You only need to accrue 135,000 qualifying points or take 100 qualifying one-way flights in a calendar year to earn the [Southwest Companion Pass]( and this welcome bonus will get you more than halfway there. Other welcome offers you may want to consider before the year ends include those on the the no-annual-fee [Ink Business Cash Credit Card]( and [Ink Business Unlimited Credit Card](. With both cards, you can earn a best-ever cash-back offer of $900 after spending $6,000 in the first three months after account opening. [Qualifying for a business card]( is easier than you may think, and the benefits can be valuable if you are self-employed or a business owner. If you have another Chase card that earns Ultimate Rewards points, you can turn that $900 into 90,000 points by [combining the rewards in your account](. Before choosing a card, keep in mind [your eligibility]( and the minimum spending requirements to earn these welcome offers so that you choose the best card for your wallet.
