Chase Promotions: Card Bonus Updates
by Silicon Valley Blogger on 2011-09-282
Let’s talk about the Chase credit card deals that are available at this time. Recently, we’ve been covering the credit card beat much more closely, and have noticed that card issuers are coming up with more improved terms, rates and promotions, especially for cash back bonuses. This is where we plan to share the latest promotions from Chase, a major credit card company. These deals are pretty dynamic though, so we hope to keep abreast of the changes that are announced by Chase through this page. Perhaps one of these options may be a match for you. You’ll be fetching a great bonus to boot.
Most Chase Cards Offer Great Bonus Rewards
Upon checking the card products from Chase, we noticed that most of its cards offered attractive incentives for new customers. Not only that, these deals tended to linger along with the cards for a much longer time than the limited time offers we usually see attached to those cards provided by the competition. We’ve always had a preference for Chase cards because from what we’ve seen, compared and analyzed in the credit industry, we can honestly say that Chase has highly competitive offerings with very favorable attributes such as generous bonuses, no annual fees and 0% initial interest rates for several of their lines. We certainly count Chase cards as top rewards cards in the cash back and points categories. You’ll quickly see why, as we go over the latest promotions available for these products.

Chase Freedom With $200 Cash Bonus. If you combine the best terms for a consumer or personal cash back card with an extra cash kick, then what you get is this card. This offer includes one of the highest bonus offers we’ve seen for a regular cash back card. This particular Freedom card has no special low interest rate since it’s purely marketed as a rewards card that maximizes your cash benefits. If you don’t carry a balance, this card is for you. If you do carry a balance, you may want to try another type of Chase Freedom card — one that DOES have zero APR terms. For more details, check out our in-depth Chase Freedom review.

Chase Sapphire With 25K Bonus Points. This is a consumer card that comes with some big number reward points right off the bat. You can go for the card with no yearly fees (the regular Sapphire with $250 or 25K points) or one that does charge a fee after the first year (the Sapphire Preferred), but which provides a bigger bonus (a value of over $600). Make sure to check the differences in our detailed Chase Sapphire review.

Continental Airlines OnePass Plus With Up To 40,000 Miles. This popular travel card is subject to many promotions. This time, it’s available with extra bonus miles that you can snag fairly quickly. 25,000 miles is yours as soon as you use your card. 5,000 is added to your stash if you add a user to your account and yet another 10,000 is given to you each year if you hit a spending target of $25K. It’s geared towards the traveler, so if you’re one who flies quite often, then this is a good choice. Find out more in our Continental Airlines review.

United MileagePlus Explorer Card With Up To 40,000 Miles. You’ll notice that this airlines card appears similar to its counterpart, the Continental Airlines OnePass Plus. If you take a closer look, you’ll see that the two have almost exactly the same features, especially with regards to the breakdown of the 40K bonus points. By all measures, they seem like the same card, just with 2 different names.

Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Card With Free Flights. This card’s selling point is its promise of free flights. You start out with a free flight that you earn immediately after the first time you charge your card. Then, you’ll like the fact that you can earn the equivalent of $50 toward airfare annually (3,000 free points). This is on top of the unlimited opportunities you have to earn free flights when you ring up points through this card.

Marriott Rewards Visa Signature Card With Rewards Point Bonus. This hotel card comes as two brands: the Visa Signature and the Premier Visa Signature. There are several differences between them, one of which is that the Premier version gives away 30,000 bonus points on first use vs the regular card’s 22,500 bonus. The Premier also allows you to accumulate points faster but it comes with a higher annual fee. Get more details about these cards in our Marriott Rewards cards review.

Ink Bold Business Card. This is one heavy duty business card that will elate you with 25,000 reward points once you’ve made your initial purchase. Plus, you’ll like the fact that you can earn a hefty 45,000 points as an annual bonus that you can use on anything. But just like any business card, it has an annual fee, albeit one that is pretty affordable at $95 and which you’ll only start paying after the first free year of use. More on the Ink Bold card in this review.

Ink Cash Business Credit Card With Up To $250 In Cash. This business cash back card has an enticing offer for new customers: up to $250 in cash as a bonus if you perform some simple spending requirements. This is a card that’s also low on expenses since it does not charge an annual fee and allows for free additional cards for your employees. These are standout benefits, especially since many business cards charge a number of fees. These are all the reasons we’d give for considering this as one of our favorites.

From our coverage above, you’ll note that Chase offers bonuses for practically all of its credit cards — whether they are for personal, business or travel use. We appreciate how these cards are also pretty flexible, such that you can redeem your points to use for practically any purpose: whether for airline tickets, merchandise, or our favorite reward — extra cash.

Great post! I’d love to have a credit card with a substantial cash back bonus. I’ll try to pay my debts after 6 months.
