Our Verdict
The signup bonus is typically ‘as high as’ 175,000 points after spending $12,000. This new offer link has no-lifetime-language (NLL) and is also a fixed 175,000 points.
Many people are getting approved with this link. I’m going to toss in an application myself (update: instant approval). Be sure to use up the $100 Resy credit and $75 Lululemon credit quickly before the end of the quarter.
