Well, we’ve made it into October, which not only kicks off a series of many of the year’s biggest holidays and gatherings, but also some of the year’s biggest expenses to go with it.
Whether you’re looking ahead to social obligations, travel, buying gifts or all of the above, now is a great time to get a new card and use all that spending to earn a juicy welcome bonus.
The Platinum Card® from American Express got a major refresh last month — complete with an even more valuable list of benefits and statement credits. Apply and find out your welcome offer and see if you’re eligible for as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $8,000 within the first six months of card membership. Welcome offers vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer.
And on the hotel side, don’t miss the current offer on the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card. Right now, new applicants can earn 125,000 bonus points and one free night award (valued at up to 50,000 points) after spending $3,000 in the first three months from account opening.
