by Tanner Saunders, Senior Hotels Reporter
[TPG | Hero Image] Happy Tuesday, friends. Tanner Saunders, senior hotels reporter, here with you for the next few weeks. If thereâs one thing I wish I had known when I started my points and miles journey using travel credit cards, itâs that the first offer you see might not be the best â and with some good timing and a little research, you might be able to [snag an elevated welcome offer]( for a card that youâre interested in. At the time, 50,000 or 60,000 points sure felt like a lot â until I later realized that friends of mine who waited got similar cards with higher bonuses, meaning their points would help them travel a lot farther. Donât get me wrong, I still put those points to great use (even snagging my first major business-class trip on British Airways from New Delhi to London), but now, if Iâm considering applying for a new card, I make sure to see which cards have higher offers so that Iâm not missing out. Right now, there are a handful of card offers that will help you travel farther and include great perks. For example, [The Platinum Card® from American Express]( gets you access to the Global Lounge Collection, including the snazzy new [Centurion Lounge in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport]( (ATL), as well as elite status with Marriott and Hilton, [among many other perks]( (enrollment is required for select benefits). Here are a few more cards offering welcome bonuses of 100,000 points and higher: - [Capital One Venture X Business]( Earn up to 300,000 bonus miles, with 150,000 miles awarded after you spend $20,000 on the card in the first three months and an additional 150,000 miles awarded when you spend a total of $100,000 in the first six months.
- Check to see if youâre targeted for a [150,000-point offer on The Platinum Card from American Express]( or a [90,000-point offer on the American Express® Gold Card]( via CardMatch.
- [Ink Business Preferred Credit Card]( Earn 100,000 bonus points after you spend $8,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. That's $1,000 cash back or $1,250 toward travel when redeemed through Chase Travel.
- [IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card]( Earn 165,000 IHG points after spending $3,000 in the first three months.
- [The Business Platinum Card® from American Express]( Earn 120,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases with your card within the first three months of card membership.
