- Discover It - Normally no sign up bonus, now it is $150 for spending $750 in the first 3 months
- Discover now offers a free monthly FICO score on your statement. Alternatively, you can use Credit Sesame.
- Advantage to Credit Sesame is that you can get free credit monitoring that will tell you when there is a new credit account in your name or if you are ever late on a payment, which has saved me in the past.
- Discover it is one of my go to credit cards for online purchases. They often have the best cashback offer from Shop Discover and the last two years they have given 5% back for purchases made online in Quarter 4.
- They have released the 5% categories for next year and Quarter 4 is "Holiday Shopping," which may or may not include online purchases.
- No annual fee
- Chase Freedom - Increased sign up bonus to $200 from $100 for spending $500 in the first 3 months.

- Chase Sapphire Preferred - Increased sign up bonus from 40,000 to 50,000 points (can be redeemed for $500 or transferred to many airline and hotel partners for even greater value) for spending $3,000 in the first 3 months. In addition, you will get another $5,000 points for adding an authorized user
- Annual fee increases from $95 to $125, which is waived the first year.
If you have applied for any of these cards within the last 90 days with a smaller bonus, send a secure message asking to be matched to the new offer. It's always worth a shot.
