"Apply for a Business Platinum Card and Business Checking account to earn more rewards when you bundle. Earn up to 220,000 Membership Rewards points after you apply, get approved and complete qualifying activities for Business Platinum and Business Checking."
This offer is available to a select group of current Amex cardholders. Log into your Amex account to see if you have the targeted offer. It should show as a pop-up as soon as you log into your account.
Points Wire Note: It appears to be a No Lifetime Language (NLL) offer so those targeted should be able to get the welcome bonus even if they have previously received the bonus. As always, make sure you read the fine print to double-check.
"Get 50% back as a statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to make purchases on the Uber or Uber Eats app by 12/31/2023. Limit of $25 back in total statement credits."

The elevated United Business Card sign-up bonus is ending November 8, 2023. Currently, you can earn 75,000 United miles when you spend $5,000 in 3 months.
Points Wire Note: United has devalued their program a couple of times in the last few years. That being said, 75,000 miles is still a solid sign-up bonus if you have a use for the miles in the short/medium term.
Accor: Accor is offering a 50% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou Points. That makes the usual 1,000:500 ratio, 1,000:750.
For context, Accor doesn't have a traditional award stays. Instead, you redeem as many points as you want toward the cash value of a room or suite. With the transfer bonus, every 1,000 Citi points you transfer will provide ~$16 toward a room. That's ~1.5 cents per point.
Points Wire Note: If you have plenty of points and miles for flights, this is a solid way to use transferable points for a hotel stay. If points are tight, you'll want to consider whether you'd be better off using Citi points for a flight.
"Get a one-time $100 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $400 USD in one or more purchases on room rate and room charges, when you pay for your stay at participating Hyatt properties in Latin America from 11/2/2023 to 1/31/2024."
As always, make sure you read the terms and conditions.

Capital One: "Designed to bring the picturesque and adventure-filled destination to life, the Capital One Lounge at DEN will feature everything you know and love about Capital One Lounges, with premium amenities and locally-inspired culinary offerings that give travelers a taste of The Mile High City."
4 Capital One cards provide access:
Capital One Venture X: Unlimited visits with 2 guests; authorized users have same access
Capital One Venture X Business: Unlimited visits with 2 guests
Capital One Venture: 2 free visits per year
Capital One Spark Miles: 2 free visits per year
Points Wire Note: I've really enjoyed my visits to both the Dallas and Washington Dulles locations.
If you're getting the Venture X, make sure you use a referral with the 90,000-mile offer instead of the standard 75,000-mile offer while it's still available. I've linked to the 90k offer above.
Frequent Miler: "Last month Capital One ran an incredibly generous promotion that could get you free or incredibly cheap flights. They’re at it again with an offer giving $200 off Premier Collection stays (their version of Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts).'
Available to Capital One Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders.

Danny the Deal Guru: "The 50K offer for the Business Checking account is available publicly, and the 150K Business Platinum offer has been around for a while. But if you do both, you get an extra 20K for a total bonus of 220,000 Membership Rewards points."

Doctor Of Credit: "Barclays has increased the sign up bonuses on the Barclays Emirates cards to 50,000 and 60,000 points."
"When these cards launched the bonuses were 30,000 and 50,000 miles respectively so this is a nice increase for the Silver card."
Points Wire Note: These are low priority cards since you can transfer points to Emirates Skywards from all transferable points programs - Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Citi ThankYou Points.
MilesTalk: "Updated October 29th, 2023 to clarify that both the Spark Cash Plus and the Venture X Business both do not report to your personal credit. As always, Capital One WILL still pull your personal credit from all three bureaus to decide on your application- however they will not report the new account or utilization to Credit bureaus as long as your account remains in good standing."
