Top Picks – Credit Cards

Remember, card offers change all the time so the best picks now, might soon change or be gone. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more specific recommendations!

1. BEST OVERALL BONUS

Chase Ink Business Unlimited Card – $900 bonus 

Do you have any side hustles such as selling on eBay or Mercari? Do you tutor?  Drive for UberEats or Doordash?  If so, you have a business and are eligible for this card!  And, of course, if you own a traditional business this is also the perfect choice.

This card offers an all time high bonus of $900 or 90,000 points.  The required spend is $6,000 in the first three months.  There is NO annual fee and this card earns 1.5 points per dollar. As a side bonus – this card also has an amazing introductory 0% interest rate for the first 12 months.   So, after your required minimum spending you’ll have 99,000 points or $990!  That’s 16.5% return on spending… Wow!

One note – Chase can be a bit picky and will only approve applications with 5 or fewer accounts opened in the last 24 months. They are fairly generous with bonuses and it’s pretty safe to get a new Chase card every 90 days.  They will even approve you for more than one Ink card (even the same one!) so this is a great card to add to your wallet.

2. BEST CASH BONUS

Bank of America Premium Rewards – $600

This personal card has a minimum spend requirement of $4,000 in 90 days and carries a $95 annual fee.  It has a great bonus of $600 and also provides $100 in airline incidental credits that can be used for baggage and seat assignment fees as well as $100 for Global Entry or TSA precheck.

3. BEST CHOICE FOR FREE FLIGHTS

Barclays American Airlines Aviator Card – 75,000 miles

This is an amazing offer – there is no minimum spending required!  Simply make one purchase and receive 60,000. When you add an authorized user and they make a purchase you’ll receive another 15,000 for a total of 75,000 miles.  This card has a $99 annual fee.
