Our Verdict

Standard best bonus recently has been 50,000 points, but we have seen 50,000 + $100 in the past. How useful this deal is will really depend on how much you value the ticketmaster credit and how much you value MR points. I imagine most people would prefer 50,000 + $100 over this, but there is no telling when/if that offer will return so this might be a good option for some people.

Because of that I will be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses. If you’re thinking of applying, make sure you read these things everybody should know about American Express cards first. Remember not to self refer anymore. Do not share your referrals in the comments of this post, they can be shared in this linked post instead.
