Your choice: 125,000 points or 125,000 miles

Right now, there’s an easy way to get either 125,000 hotel points or 125,000 airline miles (or both!).
But before I tell you how, let’s quickly discuss why you should even want these rewards.
While transferable credit card rewards like Chase Ultimate Rewards and American Express Membership Rewards points are usually the best option to build a strategy around, there are two specific loyalty programs — one hotel, one airline — that are practically inescapable for business travel.
Those would be Marriott Bonvoy and Delta SkyMiles.
Hence, it is always good to have:- A strategic stockpile of these rewards
- The ability to easily earn more of them when you need to
- Elite status in these programs
Now, here’s how you can check all of those boxes:
Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card: From now until Oct. 29, new cardholders can earn 125,000 bonus miles after spending $15,000 on purchases in the first six months of card membership. That’s the best offer we’ve ever seen on this card, with 15,000 more miles than previous offers!- Why we love this card:
This is not just a Delta business card — it’s the ultimate Delta business card. You get all the perks of a premium travel card (think lounge access, a head start on elite status and more) plus a variety of valuable benefits that can easily offset the $650 annual fee (see rates and fees).
Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card: From now until Oct. 22, new cardholders can earn 125,000 points after spending $8,000 on purchases in the first six months of card membership.- Why we love this card:
Not only do you get strong earning rates on Marriott purchases and other categories important to business travelers, you also get automatic Gold Elite status and a head start on reaching the next level. Plus, you earn a free night award (worth up to 35,000 points) each card renewal year, which can offset the low $125 annual fee (see rates and fees).
So which do you prefer, 125,000 points or 125,000 miles? Just don’t miss your chance to get them, since these elevated offers are only available for a limited time.
