November is here, and the holiday season is right around the corner. Between upcoming travel plans, holiday shopping and everyday expenses, this could be a great time to give your points and miles balances a boost.
And with several limited-time credit card offers available, there's no shortage of opportunities to earn valuable rewards.
Here are some of the standout offers worth considering this month.
🚨 Biggest opportunity
Given the big changes we just saw to United Airlines’ loyalty program, it’s more important than ever that even casual United flyers consider holding one of its credit cards.
The good news? All of these cards are sporting extremely valuable limited-time offers right now — including best-ever offers on the low-cost cards, like this one:
The United℠ Explorer Card: For a limited time, earn up to 80,000 bonus miles: Earn 70,000 bonus miles after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Plus, earn 10,000 bonus miles after adding an authorized user in the first three months from account opening.
This would be my pick since it has a $0 annual fee for the first year (which becomes $150 thereafter), and it comes with free checked bags and two United Club passes per year — a really valuable perk you won’t find on other airlines’ low-fee cards.
But there are also other offers up to 100,000 bonus miles, so check out all six United cards to see which is best for you.
🍂 Best for everyday spending
A card with no annual fee and an elevated limited-time offer? That's a combination we love.
The Chase Freedom Flex® is offering new cardholders $250 cash back after spending $500 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Plus, it earns bonus rewards in rotating quarterly categories, making it a solid choice for everyday spending.
Pro tip: If you hold certain other Chase credit cards, you can covert that bonus into 25,000 transferrable Ultimate Rewards points — worth over $512, per our November 2026 valuations.
✈️ Best for frequent flyers
Planning a few trips for 2027? These airline card offers could help you get there.
Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® credit card: Earn up to 80,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare. Earn 60,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $3,000 on purchases within the first 90 days from opening your account. Earn an additional 20,000 bonus points after spending a total of $5,000 on purchases, also in the first 90 days from account opening.
Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® credit card: Earn 100,000 bonus points and a 25,000-point Global Companion Award after spending $6,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days from opening your account.
🌎 Best for flexible travel rewards
Not sure where your next adventure will take you? Flexible miles can give you plenty of options.
The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card is letting new cardholders earn 75,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months after account opening. Plus, you’ll receive a one-time $300 Capital One Travel credit to use toward hotel and vacation rental bookings in your first cardholder year.
💼 Best for high rollers

The Capital One Venture X Business is offering new cardholders earn up to 300,000 miles and a $1,000 travel credit for a limited time. Here’s how it works:All in, that bonus could be worth a jaw-dropping $6,550 (according to TPG’s November 2026 valuations)
💼 Best for luxury travelers
It’s hard to beat the personalized offer on this top travel rewards card:
Apply and find out your welcome offer which could be as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards points on the American Express Platinum Card®.
