Our Verdict
Previous best offer was 80,000 points. Nice increased offers, don’t think the Visa Infinite is worth considering as the benefits are limited for $499 but a 60,000 point bonus becomes a lot more interesting for the $99 card.
Of course there are better offers out there but for those that need some Avios and have hit the better bonuses this is worth considering. Cardless only lets you hold one Cardless card at a time so keep that in mind.
Anyone still waiting for this card? Applied on 5/3/25 and today is already the 15th and still waiting. No response from cardless either
Is this better than the offer that was sent with the pre-sign-ups a few months ago?
Yes but not as good as the December offer
“don’t think the Visa Infinite is worth considering as the benefits are limited“??
Getting Oneworld Sapphire for a year (+80k Avios after MSR) is a substantial benefit and nearly unheard of among card benefits.
Both cards are worth it for their benefits, atleast for a year!
Fine print “Guests are not permitted in Qatar Airways Premium lounges.”
IIUC they don’t allow Sapphire members in their own Lounge ?
QR has special lounges in DOH for their own program’s elites and, separately, other airlines’ OW Sapp and Emeralds (?) in addition to the actual business and first lounges. But any special QR rules would only apply in DOH. In general, OW Sapphires get a free guest in OW business lounges, including AA Flagship lounges on domestic flights in the States.
does cardless count as 5/24?
You’re only allowed one of them so it only counts as 1/24.
I think people give way too much relevance to Chase’s alleged 5/24 “rule,” but yes, any open CC account will count towards it.
Easy to get approved. 730 CS. W/ 7 new accounts past 2 years. Most recent 1 month ago (Citi Strata)
did you get instant approval or how long did it take after submitting app?
My Manchester united card closed today
Boston Celtics card discontinued today too. Lost $0.90 (90 rewards points) because “you cannot redeem rewards to an account with a $0 balance”.
Wish I’d spent $0.90 on the card yesterday.
had been using this for netflix (streaming) category (i think 7x was best in class)… anybody know second best out there for this?
Amex blue cash preferred is 6x
The BMO Cash Back Mastercard offers 5% on streaming, among other perks, and has no AF. They also offer a decent signup bonus or double cash back for the first year (I’m doing the latter).
Received an email today saying Pelicans card was discontinued and my account was closed, no option to product change
Need more DPs on this before I pull the trigger…
Cardless is one card PER LIFETIME.
And no product changes. Choose wisely.
I queried them on this point when I received the closure notice for my Man. Utd. card yesterday, and they replied they “are actively working to support” opening a second card. No timeline on when this will happen though.
