Details of my favorite best credit card signup bonus promotional offers for miles and points July 2017. Which is the one for you?

1. For flexibility: You have to love the wildly popular (and for good reason) new credit card by Chase: their Sapphire Reserve Infinite Visa Card. Where else can you get 50,000 in points (good for up to $750 towards travel when you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards.) You also get elite access – with Priority Pass Select Membership- to 900+ airport lounges worldwide, worth a few hundred dollars. Yes, the annual fee is $450, but it is easily and almost completely offset by the travel credit of $300 and the additional credit of $100 towards your global entry fee if you pay with the card. Yes, the minimum spending requirement is $4,000 in the first 90 days, but spending for this year’s summer vacation can earn you next year’s! Free trips feel good! Here’s the link.
