Spring is springing, and big card offers are popping up everywhere! We’re talking biggest-ever offers, personalized offers, outsized offers on brand-new cards … they’re all in here. Here are the best card offers for May.
🤩 The big one
In case you missed it, the biggest offer we’ve ever seen has just dropped on this premium card we love so much (just don’t drag your feet because it’s only available for a limited time):
The Chase Sapphire Reserve® is letting new cardholders earn a staggering 150,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points after $6,000 in spending in the first three months from account opening. That’s worth over $3,000 in travel based on TPG’s April 2026 valuations — and is a whopping 25,000 points more than the previous offer!
🏖 Best for travel lovers
It’s hard to beat the personalized offer on this top travel rewards card:
Check your eligibility and see if you qualify for an offer as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards points on the American Express Platinum Card®. Points are awarded after you spend $12,000 on purchases within the first six months of card membership*. Just remember: welcome offers vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer.
✈️ Best for award flights
Great news! You can still get the limited-time elevated offer on this card (and an even bigger one on its premium sibling).
The Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® credit card is offering a bonus of a 50% flight discount code for a qualifying future flight after account opening. Plus, earn 80,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first 120 days from account opening.
💼 Best for business spenders
Business owners couldn’t ask for better options right now:
The Capital One Venture Business card is officially on the market with an incredibly lucrative offer for a card whose annual fee is just $95: New cardholders can earn up to 150,000 bonus miles — 75,000 bonus miles after spending $7,500 on purchases in the first three months from account opening, plus another 75,000 bonus miles if you spend $30,000 in the first six months.
Just remember, most of the great offers we’re seeing right now are only available for a limited time. So don’t miss your chance to score one while they’re available.
