There's a fantastic Amex Offer for targeted Hilton Business cardmembers. The offer is for 15,000 Hilton points when you spend $3,000 by March 27, 2024.
You can use this offer up to three times which means you can earn up to 45,000 bonus points for spending $9,000.
Great find by Travel on Points.
Points Wire Note: If you can spend this $9,000 in the Hilton Business Card's 6x categories, that'd get you 54,000 points and you'd earn a total of 99,000 Hilton points.
That $9,000 also puts you close to the $15,000 required to earn a free night certificate. If you want to do this, you'll need to wait until January 1, 2024 to start spending.
Frequent Miler: "A targeted offer recently appeared that may be of interest if you’re booking travel via the Chase Travel Portal: a new Chase Offer is out that is good for $50 back on $500 or more."
"Interestingly, I found this offer on my Chase Freedom Unlimited, which isn’t the card I would ordinarily use to book travel given the much better travel protections on other cards. I don’t know whether Chase is specifically targeting this to cards without its best-in-class travel protections, but it’s worth checking your offers to see if you have it available if you book through the portal."
"Get a one-time $60 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $300 in one or more eligible purchases, when you pay for your stay at participating Wynn Las Vegas & Encore Las Vegas properties from 12/4/2023 to 4/1/2024."
Terms state that you must book directly via the Wynn Las Vegas site or through their mobile app.
Log into your Amex account to add the offer.
Points Wire Note: I'm curious if a Virtuoso booking would trigger the offer as it would be a direct booking and you'd pay at the property. You just wouldn't book on their website or app.
Virtuoso perks at the Wynn Lass Vegas & Encore include: Upgrade on arrival (if available), $100 spa credit, $30 daily breakfast credit per person, and early check-in/late checkout (if available).
Earn 4,500 Amex Membership Rewards points when you spend $300+ on Delta gift cards on Delta's site. This appears to be a targeted offer.
Must purchase by January 31, 2024. E-gift and physical gift cards are eligible. Purchase must be made in US dollars.
Seems to stack with offer to get a $20 Starbucks gift card when you buy spend $300 on Delta Gift cards. Nice flag by DoC.

Points Wire Note: If you're booking a Delta flight anyway, this could be an easy way to earn some extra Amex points. I suggest leaving little to pay with a card such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve, or Capital One Venture X so that you have trip delay coverage.
I was recently approved for the Capital One Venture X Business Card. As Capital One is notoriously unpredictable, I made a quick video explaining why I applied and a few tips to make getting approved a bit easier.

For context, the Venture X Business currently has a sign-up bonus of 150,000 points after $30k spend in 3 months. Yes, that is a steep minimum spend. As is often the case with steep minimum spend requirements, I timed the application to cover some necessary expenses.
For more details on the card, check out this quick review.
Well, that was quick! It seems the Autograph Journey is definitely going to be a new card.
Bonus Categories: 3x on dining, entertainment, gas/charging stations, telecom services, transportation, and travel
Sign-up Bonus: 60,000 points after $4k in 4 months
Annual Fee: $95
If this is the card that launches transferable points for Wells Fargo, this could be interesting!

Nice find by Doctor of Credit reader Hunter!
Danny the Deal Guru: "Wells Fargo will possibly launch two new Autograph credit cards soon. The company has filed trademarks for “Autograph Beyond” and “Autograph Journey” in late October."
"Wells Fargo is also working on adding travel partners to its current Autograph Card. That was supposed to happen in November but the date has been pushed to December 10, 2023."
Spend $300+ on hotel stays booked via Delta and get $50 back as a statement credit. The offer expires on December 31, 2023, but you can travel after that date. You just need to have used the offer by then. This offer can be triggered by multiple purchases.
Excludes car rentals, gift cards, and vacation rentals.
Points Wire Note: This is a third party booking so you won't earn elite nights or redeemable miles. Some properties will honor elite status benefits, but it's up to them.
US Credit Card Guide: "Since we updated the new link for the 150k welcome bonus for the AmEx Platinum a few days ago, many attentive readers have discovered that the terms of this 150k offer are written as ‘Up to 150,000’, followed by ‘Find out your welcome offer if you’re approved.’ This means that you only find out how much of a welcome bonus you will receive after you apply and are approved by AmEx!"
Disclosure: I may be compensated if you use one of the links below.
Amex is out with a targeted Amex Offer for ITA Airways. If you have the offer, you can spend $1,000 on ITA Airways, and earn 17,500 Amex Membership Rewards points. You must book by December 31, 2023, but your flights can be after that date.
This appears to be a targeted offer.
Other important terms:
The flight must originate in the U.S. and be charged in U.S. dollars.
You must book via the ITA Airways website or their app.
Purchases at lounges/terminals, on-board, or by phone are not eligible.
Points Wire Note: Ideally, you'll add this to an Amex Platinum so you can earn 5x and have trip delay coverage.
