Below you will find what I consider to be the “Top Deals” available on the market right now. Free Elite Status offers, transfer bonuses between mileage programs, personal credit cards, business credit cards, financial offers, & more.
If you want free flights & hotels, this is the best page to be on!

I will do my absolute best to make sure all offers below are the best to my knowledge, and current. Please comment at the bottom of the page or e-mail me if you find a better offer, or have questions!
I recommend taking screenshots of the application page that lists your bonuses, in case there are any discrepancies with the card issuing bank down the road. Usually not an issue, but you want to be the rule, not the exception

As always, I recommend that you know your credit score and know what’s in your credit report before applying for any of these cards. The general rule of thumb is that most of these premium rewards cards should be applied for by people with credit scores above 700. To learn more about your credit score, & what’s in your credit report, read my 3 post series here:
http://travelandcredit.com/category/beginners-steps-2/

These are credit cards!  Be responsible.  Pay your bills on time.  Earn Miles.  Get free flights.  Repeat.

TOP DEALS THAT AREN’T CREDIT CARDS:

• Free Hilton Gold status. Late checkout, potential room upgrades, more points, free internet, etc. This one requires a little more work. Read the post.

• Earn up to 50,000 Delta Skymiles, 50,000 United Mileageplus miles, 50,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles, up to a $500 Apple Giftcard, or 200 free stock trades all from Fidelity Investments. You can only get ONE of these deals every 12 months now.  You used to be able to “cycle” funds by depositing and withdrawing money to boost the amount you’ve deposited. Now you cannot do that. You have to just deposit the entire amount. If you withdraw money, it counts against the amount deposited.

• Link your American Express credit card to their promotions with Twitter, FourSquare, & Facebook “Link, Like, Love” for instant rebate credits to your AMEX card after purchases.

TOP PERSONAL CREDIT CARD DEALS:

You can get BOTH of these TWO American Airlines AAdvantage cards and sign-up bonuses by applying for both the Visa and Amex card in the same day:
