What: An alternate public "guest offer" on the IHG Premier gives five 40,000-point free night certificates after $4,000 in spend, instead of the points earned through the card's primary public offer.
Why it matters: Five capped free-night certs represent up to 200,000 points of hotel value and are claimable by anyone in the U.S. (and perhaps Canada), so the alternate path is worth pricing against the standard points bonus.

What: Venture Rewards is currently running a welcome offer of 75,000 miles plus a $300 Capital One Travel credit.
Why it matters: 75,000 transferable miles is at least $750 in travel at a penny each and often more via transfer partners, with the $300 credit stacked on top — the article's whole premise is how this compares with prior Venture bonuses.

What: The Spark Cash Plus business card pairs unlimited 2% cash back with a $2,000 welcome bonus.
Why it matters: $2,000 in straight cash is the largest hard-dollar bonus on this week's list, with no points-valuation guesswork required.

What: A no-annual-fee business card offering a $750 welcome bonus, 1.5% cash back and no foreign transaction fees.
Why it matters: $750 cash with no annual fee to offset and no category tracking — a low-effort business bonus, though the flat earn rate trails the 2% Spark Cash Plus.

What: Chase is showing some cardholders increased sign-up bonuses when they check for pre-approved offers, with sample offers including 175,000 points on the Sapphire Reserve and 125,000 points on the Sapphire Preferred.
Why it matters: 175,000 points is roughly $2,600 in travel at 1.5 cents per point through Chase Travel — but the increases are YMMV, so you have to check your own pre-approved offers to see whether you're targeted.

What: An explainer on who can actually qualify for the Amex Business Platinum, a card with a large welcome bonus and a long perk list.
Why it matters: Eligibility rules — not just the headline bonus — determine whether you can collect the offer at all, so read these before applying.
