We're already over three months into 2026, and the second quarter has begun. 

There are quite a few good offers this quarter.

In today's post, we've rounded up some of the best card offers to make these days, including some limited-time offers that are currently running.

1. BoA, Alaska Atmos cards, up to 100,000 miles

Updated 05/2026

Please note that the Ascent offer has a reduced bonus. 

The Alaska Airlines mileage card offer from Bank of America is back, and it's been six months since last October.

• The Atmos™ Rewards Summit card with a $395 annual fee offers 100,000 miles + 50% discount couponplus a 25,000-mile Global Companion Award every year, including the first year.
• The offer for the base card (Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® Credit Card) with a $95 annual fee is 80,000 miles + 50% discount coupon.
• The business card (Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature®) is also running a promotion: 80,000 miles + $99 Companion Fare after spending $5,000 within 90 days.

The 50% discount coupon has so many restrictions in the terms and conditions (paid airfare only, only valid for travel between 9/8-11/18, etc.) that I think it's reasonable to ignore it. Of course, if you can actually use it, that's great.

2. Chase and United partner cards, up to 110,000 miles

Starting this September, United Airlines will begin offering Newark Airport Newark, NJ - Incheon nonstop service is a very welcome addition to our nonstop flight schedule.I'm not sure if they'll ever be able to get back on the road due to the war in Iran, but if you're considering flying to South Korea, United miles are definitely worth saving up for.

I've also heard that they're increasing checked baggage fees by $$10 in one go for tickets issued starting tomorrow (4/3).

Right now, for domestic US flights, prepaid is $35 for the first bag and $40 for airport payment, which means that starting with tomorrow's ticketing, it's $45/$50. So we're at the point where it's $50 for a bag and $100 for a roundtrip.

It's not all bad news.

• For United partner cardholders, we're told there's a minimum 10% mile discount (similar to Delta) on mile redemptions (United, United Express flights only)
• We also learned that the Mileage Add-on seats that cardholders had access to were previously only available in Economy (XN), but are now available in Business (IN) on UA. (“United offers additional inventory of Saver Award seats in United Polaris business class as a special way to recognize cardholders.”)

In other words, the United frequent flyer card is now a must-have 😉 lol

Coincidentally, a promotion for Chase-issued United Airlines partner cards started today.

• The base card, the Explorer, is up to 80,000 miles
• The middle tier, Quest, is up to 100,000
• Club card is 11
• And you can get up to 110,000 miles on the Business card.

It's worth noting that you'll need to add a family card within 3 months to maximize the bonus. If you don't add a family card, you can subtract 10,000 miles from the maximum bonus if you don't want to count it towards your family's 5/24.

3. Amex, Bonvoy affiliate cards (Bevy, Brilliant, Business)

There's a limited time offer going on for Bonvoy affiliate cards issued by Amex, with an end date of 5/13.

• 175,000 points for the mid-range Bonvoy Bevy card after spending $5,000 in 6 months
• 200,000 points after spending $6,000 in 6 months on the premium Bonvoy Brilliant Card
• Business cards are eligible for five 50,000 night vouchers after spending $9,000 in total.

Notably, the Brilliant card is the highest-rated personal card issued by Amex.

• This card has an annual fee of $650 for the first year, but you get $25 a month = $300 a year in dining credits, so the effective annual fee is $350.
• Plus, you automatically get Bonvoy Flat status when you eat, so if you're a frequent Bonvoy guest, earning Elite status alone is a great option.
• I can also tell you that when you renew the card, you get one 8.5 night stay per year starting in the second year, and for 8.5, you can get some pretty nice hotel stays, so the annual fee is pretty much covered.

For the Amex-issued Bonvoy Personal Card, there are two things to keep in mind. 

First of all, there's the so-called family rule, which says that if you get a higher-tiered personal card first, you can't get a lower-tiered personal card later. If you have a Bevy or Brilliant card, you'll need to create a Bevy first.

Next, it's also important to remember that applying for/holding a Chase card will also affect your Amex card application.

For example, for the Amex Bevy card,

• You had or currently have a Chase-issued Bonvoy card within the last 30 days
• You applied for a new Chase-issued Bonvoy card within the last 90 days; or
• If you received a Chase-issued Bonvoy card bonus within the past 24 months

The terms say I can't get a welcome offer.

So, before you apply for the Amex Bonvoy card, we recommend that you run through the checklist below.

4. Chase, IHG Business Card Offers 

The IHG Business Card, a Chase-issued hotel card, is also having an epic promotion.

• Get 140,000 points after spending $4,000 in 3 months
• Earn an additional 60,000 points for spending an additional $5,000 within the first 6 months.

That is, 200,000 points when you spend $9,000 in total within 6 monthsin the response.

The card has an annual fee of $$99 for the first year, but you'll get one free night (40,000 points) every year starting in the second year, so the annual fee is pretty much covered.

5. Chase, Ink Preferred, 100,000 point offer 

Business cards issued by Chase, including the Ink Business Cash® Credit Card and Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card.

Since it's a no-annual-fee card, I'm sure many of you have both.

However, Chase changed their terms late last year and now makes it harder to hold them simultaneously.

The terms say that you may not get the bonus if you have the same card or any other Chase for Business card without an annual fee. ("The new cardmember bonus may not be available to you if you have ever had this card or any other Chase for Business card without an annual fee.")

So what are the alternatives?

$I think the Ink Business Preferred® card, which has a $95 annual fee, would be an alternative.

• This card has an annual fee of $95 for the first year, but it's worth noting that the
• With the Dorrance card, you can convert the UR points you earn to airline miles or hotel points.
• It happened to be on promotion, so I decided to use 100,000 UR points after spending $8,000 in 3 monthsin the response.

If you're considering earning Chase UR through the Ink card, I think it's an option to consider.

6. Amex, Platinum cards, business up to 300,000 points

Last year, the Amex Platinum cards were revamped and it literally took off.

For personal cards, Resy and Lululemon are great to use.

Even with the business card, it's easy to find value in the annual fee with benefits like $200 annual airline credit + $200 Hilton ($50 quarterly) + $600 FHR ($300 semi-annually).

Amex MRs convert 1:1 to Delta Air Lines miles.

For the last 2-3 years, we've been able to book US-Korea business one-way tickets at the 130,000-150,000 level during the peak summer season.

In that regard, I think you might want to consider strategizing for Amex MR = Delta = peak season business ticketing (Of course, there's no guarantee that Delta will continue to offer Delta One discounts during the peak summer season. This is where AYOR comes in.)

There is one caveat.

Not all Amex Platinum cards have the same welcome offer, and the welcome offer you receive will vary based on a variety of variables, including your credit information.

For example, the Business Platinum card says “as high as 300,000 Membership Rewards® Points.” Not everyone gets 300,000, and some get far fewer points than that (and some don't have a welcome offer at all).

Fortunately, you can see the exact amount of the welcome offer before accepting the card offer, so be sure to check.

7. Chase, Sapphire Reserve: 125,000 points 

The highest-rated personal card issued by Chase is the Chase Sapphire Reserve^®).

Cards with more negative than positive reviews since last year's update.

However, the signup bonus of 125,000 UR points is probably the best offer we've ever seen (after 3 months of $6,000 spend).

The card comes with a number of benefits that can help offset the annual fee, which you can learn more about in the See our previous postand we think you'll find it helpful.

8. Chase, Sapphire Preferred: 75,000 points 

Are you tired of premium cards that have become coupon books?

For these people, the Simple Is Best, Sapphire Preferred card may be a better choice.

For the Personal Sapphire Preferred Card

• The annual fee is $95, but you can get $50 back when you book a hotel through Chase Travel, so the effective annual fee is $45. Even if you don't chase these credits, the $95 annual fee feels like nothing compared to the $$795 card ;);
• Current offer is 3 months for $5,000 and 75,000 pointsso it's not a huge deal, but it's not a bad deal either.

9. Citi, AA Business Card: 75,000 miles

American Airlines business card offer issued by Citi.

The card is called the Citi® / AAdvantage Business™ World Elite Mastercard® Card.

• You'll receive 75,000 AA AAdvantage® miles after spending $5,000 in the first 5 months after opening the card.
• Baggage benefits (terms apply), and more.

I've been getting great value on AA miles lately, so this is a great opportunity if you need AA miles.

I should also point out that the card is a business card, so it doesn't count toward the subsequent Chase 5/24.

Let's wrap up today's post.

It's good to see that there are good offers for Q2 2026 as well.

However, not all offers are equally good for everyone.

Everyone has different priorities, travel patterns, and so on, so the right credit card for you will be different.

So, I'd recommend that you think about your travel plans for the next 1-2 years and make an informed choice.
