💳 Best New Credit Card Offers This Week

Advertiser Disclosure

Here are the increased offers that came out this week. 

🏨 IHG Refresh: New Card & Increased Offers

IHG's co-branded credit card lineup just got a major refresh with an addition of a brand new card. The existing cards also have increased offers, and 2 of them also have increased annual fees. These offers are great because IHG points don't often make sense as a way to use transferable points.

• The Brand New IHG One Rewards Premier Select Credit Card: 200,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
• The New IHG One Rewards Business Credit Card: 190,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
• The New IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card: 180,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
• The New IHG One Rewards Credit Card: 125,000 bonus points after spending $2,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

✈️ United: Increased Offers Across All Cards

I value United miles at around 1.2¢ each, so a 100K point bonus is worth over $1,000 for a relatively low spend. To get the maximum bonus, add an authorized user to your account in the first 3 months.

Personal

• United Club℠ Card: Up to 100,000 bonus miles after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
• United Quest℠ Card: Up to 90,000 bonus miles after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening and 500 Premier qualifying points after your first purchase.
• United℠ Explorer Card: Up to 80,000 bonus miles after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
• United Gateway℠ Card: Up to 50,000 bonus miles after you spend $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

Business

• United Club℠ Business Card: Up to 110,000 bonus miles and 2,000 PQP after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
• United℠ Business Card: Up to 100,000 bonus miles and 2,000 PQP after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

These aren't new, but they're increased offers that might be worth checking out. 

🛏️ Hilton Offers: Up to 200K, Plus Free Nights

I love Hilton Free Night Rewards, so I'm very excited to see four new offers on Hilton cards that include them:

• Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card: 200,000 Hilton Honors bonus points after a $6,000 spend in 6 months. 
• Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card: 130,000 points + a Free Night Reward after a $3,000 spend in 6 months.
• Hilton Honors American Express Card: 70,000 points + a Free Night Reward after a $2,000 spend in 6 months.
• Hilton Honors American Express Business Card: 150,000 bonus points + a Free Night Reward after a $8,000 spend in 6 months.

Hilton Free Night Rewards work on any room with standard availability, which means they could be worth ≥ 200k points, which combined with the points you earn, can be really rewarding. These welcome offers are good through 1/13/27.

🍁 Refreshed: Chase Aeroplan Card

The new Chase Air Canada Aeroplan® Credit Card launched with a full refresh.

The new welcome offer is a best-ever up to 115,000 points: 75,000 after a $4,000 spend in 3 months, plus another 40,000 after a $20,000 spend in 12 months, which is excellent. New perks include automatic Aeroplan 25K status, a 15% discount on Air Canada award flights, and up to $100 in annual Air Canada statement credits, plus a new 3X category on general travel and 2X on gas.

However, there are some tradeoffs: the annual fee more than doubles, from $95 to $195, grocery and dining earning drops from 3X to 2X (starting 1/1/27), and the 10% bonus on Ultimate Rewards points transferred to Aeroplan is going away entirely (current cardholders keep it through 12/31/26).

If you fly Air Canada regularly, this is a clear upgrade and getting at least 15% off award travel on Air Canada is a big perk. If you mostly held the card for the transfer bonus and partner awards, it's worth a harder look before you renew. If you don't have the card already, the big welcome offer, might be enough to get you to take a look.

🤩 Capital One Venture: 75K Miles + $300

The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card has a best-ever, limited-time offer of 75,000 bonus miles plus a $300 Capital One Travel stays credit after a $4,000 spend in 3 months. On a $95 card that earns 2X everywhere (and 5X on hotels, rental cars, and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel), that's close to $1,000 of value in year one, and the miles transfer to all of Capital One's airline and hotel partners.

Please note that the $300 credit only applies to stays booked through Capital One Travel (not flights or rental cars), and Capital One generally won't approve you for this bonus if you've earned a Venture or Venture X welcome bonus in the last 48 months.

💵 Also Increased: Two Capital One Business Cards

Two other Capital One business cards got bumped up recently, though neither is as headline-grabbing as the Venture offer above.

• Capital One Spark Cash Plus: $2,000 cash back after a $30,000 spend in 3 months, plus an additional $2,000 for every $500,000 you spend in year one.
• Capital One Spark Cash: $1,000 cash back after a $10,000 spend in 3 months. 

For both of these cards, if you hold a Capital One Miles earning card like the Venture or Spark Miles, you can convert your cash back to Miles, which means a $2,000 welcome offer could be 200,000 Miles.

🏨 Marriott Bonvoy: 100K + Free Night or 3 Free Nights

I've long been a fan of Marriott points because the chain has so many amazing luxury hotels all over the world (think St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton, Luxury Collection). There have been plenty of Marriott devaluations over the years, but if you're good at finding the sweet spots, there are still some incredible ways to use Bonvoy points.

• Marriott Bonvoy Business® Card is currently offering 100,000 points plus a free night certificate (good for properties up to 50k points) after an $8,000 spend in 6 months. It's a good offer, but Amex has run better offers for this card recently, so I wouldn't rush unless you have a specific Marriott redemption in mind.
• Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card has a new offer as well: 3 Free Night Awards after a $3,000 spend in 3 months. Each certificate can be used for a night costing up to 50K points, and you can add up to 25k points per night to book a more expensive property. There's also a limited-time offer through 6/30/27, to earn up to $100 in statement credits after spending $500 on eligible airline purchases. I typically stay at Bonvoy properties that cost >75k/night, so this offer isn't very exciting to me, but if you could max this out on 50k-75k/night stays, it could be a great offer.

💰 Extended: 200K on Sapphire Reserve for Business

The Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ will continue to offer its best-ever 200,000-point bonus after $30,000 spend in the first 6 months. That's a much bigger spend requirement, but for the right business the earning is excellent: 8x on Chase Travel, 4x on flights and hotels booked direct, 3x on advertising).
