The Best Limited-Time Credit Card Bonuses: April Edition
Pam
Let’s check out the best limited-time credit card bonuses that are available now. We will look at each of these offers and see why they are valuable. Evaluating and comparing before deciding what to apply for is always a good idea. Nothing is worse than finally being ready to pull the trigger on an offer, and it’s gone! We love to apply when the offers are higher than usual but also apply sometimes at the standard offers when having the card makes sense anyway.
Chase Ink Business Preferred
You’ll now earn 100,000 Ultimate Rewards after spending $8,000 in the first 3 months (down from $15,000 in the first 3 months). Those points are worth a minimum of $1,250 when redeemed for travel, and could be worth even more when transferred to a partner like Hyatt. This card also earns 3x on travel. You better believe we’ve all applied for this one!
Chase Ink Business Cash
The signup bonus hasn’t increased on this card but the ability to meet a minimum spend is easier. This makes this card a great choice for those who previously felt like they couldn’t meet a $6k minimum spend in just 3 months.
Marriott Bonvoy Credit Cards
Here are some elevated Marriott offers. Just remember that they take a coveted 5/24 spot and Marriott stays are sometimes a lot of points so you might want to have a stay in mind before you apply.
Citi Business AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard
The Citi Business AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard has an increased bonus of 75K, making it a strong contender for this month. Since no one transfers to AA, we need to get credit cards that offer Advantage Miles if we fly AA. This card could make your Q-suite in Qatar dreams come true!
Capital One Venture Rewards Card
The Capital One Venture Rewards card has an increased welcome offer of 75,000 Venture Miles after spending $4,000 in the first three months. This card has a $95 annual fee and includes two airport lounge passes to the Capital One Lounges or Plaza Premium Lounges. You also get a statement credit for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. Here are some ideas of how you can redeem Capital One Venture miles. These miles also work as a good way to pay for Disney tickets.
You could even pay for Disney tickets with the Capital One Venture Card.
Bank of America Alaska Signature
If you live near Seattle, this is a great card for you. It comes with a one-time Companion Fare, which makes it useful. I have used Alaska miles for travel to visit my son in Seattle, to fly from Denver to Hawaii, and to fly to Mexico when I lived in California. The Companion Fare has been instrumental in taking our grandchildren to Hawaii in the summer with us when flights are so expensive.
Bottom Line
Now is the time to apply for one of these cards to earn the great limited-time credit card bonuses! We always advise signing up when the welcome offer is high. Which card intrigues you right now?

Alex, I have a question. When you are in flight and they offer you the card, do you get more miles than if you just open an account?
These inflight offers are often quite good and a little higher than usual.
Do most people use the cards for one year when they have annual fees? Or is it really worth it to keep them. It hurts my frugalness to pay those fees.
Are there any business cards that you recommend at this time. We have some major expenses but got the Amex Gold & Chase Sapphire a few months ago.
I would get the Ink Business Cash and Ink Business Unlimited.
If you are a newbie and just opened the chase sapphire… last week which card would you open next from this list and how long would you wait?
How do you know when offers will end?
Sorry if this is coming through multiples times, but wondering what card you would suggest from the list for a newbie that just opened the chase sapphire card a Week ago? Also how long would you wait to open it and is there a way to know when these offers will end?
Hello: I was just approved for the Chase Ink Business Preferred card and not realizing I should wait 30 days in order to apply for another card, applied for a personal card from Chase. My application was denied, of course. Is this going to hurt my credit?
You should call the reconsideration line. I did this same thing, called them and they approved me!
The number is (800) 432-3117.
TMS has a great podcast episode about this too! Which is how I knew to call them. Just checked and it’s episode 59! Highly recommend listening before calling too 😊
How do we decide if we want to go for the Ink Cash or Ink Unlimited?
My husband recently got the Ink Cash card. Since the new 90k bonus offer is out, our plan is for him to refer me so that I can also get the card with the 90k offer. However, the referral link is not offering the 90k offer, it’s still the 75k. Is that typical or will the referral link eventually update for referrals?
We did secure message on his card and ask for the 90k match since he opened his 2 weeks before the offer and they said they will match it. I’m assuming I could do the same, but would it be more reliable to wait until the referral link offers 90k or open now and secure message later to ask for the match?
Thanks in advance! Been reading your blog and listening to the podcast and am learning so much
Thanks!
Hi, I recently opened the Chase freedom unlimited on December 14th….is it too soon for me to apply for the ink business cash? Should I wait at least 30 days in between applications?
Can you use your companion pass to travel one way instead of round trip sometimes?
Absolutely!
Assuming 2 things: 1) you are not actively chasing a minimum spend requirement and 2) a purchase doesn’t fall into a bonus category for a particular card, what is your go-to credit card (or cards) that you keep and use for base spend? And, why?
(I’m assuming the reason behind it would be the points you deem as being most valuable for your purposes, and at a rate of 2x or at least 1.5x per $ spent. My mind immediately goes to like an Amex Blue Business card that earns 2x on every $ spent. Otherwise, my mind also goes toward a long term spending goal like pursuit of Hyatt Globalist, or some other long-term spend goal reward for an existing card. That, of whichever Chase card earns the most on everyday purchases that don’t get a better multiplier.)
Usually a Venture X card for 2x. However, I am almost always chasing minimum spend!
Thank you so much, Pam! I actually attempted a pre-approval on CapitalOne’s site (to see if it showed me as pre-approved) – and, it did not show me as pre-approved for the Venture (which many say will mean decline for the Venture X – and to wait a few months before trying).
So, do you have a runner-up or second choice right now that is not a Capital One card but good earning for everyday purchases?
Thanks again!
Thanks for this great post! I’m thinking of signing up for the Hyatt Business Card. We are Discoverists thanks to our stays and to my husband’s Hyatt personal card. My question is, if I open the Hyatt Business card, can I link it to our Hyatt account, even if the account is linked to Player 2’s personal card? Or will I have to open a second World of Hyatt account?
Thanks for this helpful post. I am thinking of opening the World of Hyatt Business Card. My husband has the World of Hyatt personal card and it is linked to our World of Hyatt account. If I get the business card in my name, will I be able to add it to our world of Hyatt account to continue accumulating elite nights, or would I need to open up a separate World of Hyatt account? Thank you!
Whoever opens the card will have the points linked to them so you will need your own WOH account. Unfortunately, you can’t combine those elite nights.
