It’s getting much easier to book award flights on credit card partners like Korean Air (Photo: J.S.)
Right now is probably the best time of year to sign up for a new credit card.
Why?
Because it’s the easiest time of year to score big sign-up bonuses offered by banks.
How?
One of the biggest hurdles to getting those fat 40,000-100,000 point or mile sign-up bonuses are “minimum spend requirements” – you know, the base amount you have to spend in the first three months to get the points or miles.
Don’t miss: The 100,000 points question
During the holidays, when expenses rise for travel, gifts, entertaining and dining out, it’s easier than ever to hit that minimum spend.
So if you’ve been scared off by a big minimum spend requirement, now’s the time to look again.
Take some time this week during the holidays to explore your options here.
When you sign up for one of these cards via our partners page, you get a big bonus, and we earn a commission. So thanks ahead of time!
