Credit Card Offers That Caught My Eye (August 2024)

Here are several personal and business credit card welcome offers that caught my eye.

I typically focus on transferable points programs as they provide more options for booking business and first class award tickets. However, co-branded airline and hotel cards occasionally make sense for the more advanced points enthusiast.
