Only offers we have watched rise — no invented deadlines

Credit-card offers that just went up

The ranked board tells you which bonus is worth most. It cannot tell you whether now is a good moment, because it looks the same whether an offer is at its best ever or its worst. This page lists only bonuses we recorded going up, with what they were before.

16 offers in our database are higher than the last figure we recorded.

Why this page is short

Because it only contains what we can show. An offer appears here when a figure verified against the issuer's own page replaced a different figure we had verified before — that is the entire test. Cards we have measured once are not "elevated", they are unmeasured, and a page that blurred the two would just be the ranked board with a more exciting headline.

It also means this page improves with age: every month of re-verification adds history, and history is the only thing that turns "unusually good" into a measurable claim rather than a sales line. The full ranked board covers every current bonus.

Common questions

How do you know an offer went up?

We recorded what it was. Every welcome offer in our database carries the figure we last verified against the issuer's own page, and when a re-verification returns a different number the old one is kept beside the new one. This page lists only cards where that recorded figure rose. An offer we have seen once is not elevated — it is unmeasured, and it is not listed here.

Why is there no countdown timer?

Because issuers almost never publish an end date. A timer counting down to a date nobody announced is manufactured urgency, and it is the most common dishonest pattern on pages like this one. We print the date an offer went up. How long it lasts is not something we know, and we would rather say so than invent it.

Does a bigger bonus mean I should apply?

Not on its own. A bonus is only worth something if you can reach the spend requirement with money you were going to spend anyway; manufacturing spend to hit one usually costs more than the bonus is worth. That is why the requirement and the window are printed on every offer above, and why the app checks them against your real charges rather than against a scenario.

Are these affiliate placements?

No. Nothing on this site pays us anything today, and the code that ranks and lists cards has no access to which ones would — a test fails the build if it ever does. This page is ordered by how much each offer rose in value, and by nothing else.
