Chase 5/24 rule applies to this card

Previously this offer only required $3,000 in spend. We have also seen a 140k + free night certificate bonus. Personally don’t think this is a good bonus due to the higher spend requirement but it could be useful for some. This card also sometimes offers an extra $50 when doing a dummy booking so it might be worth waiting a few days to see if that offer comes along if you do want to go for this one. We won’t be adding this to the best credit card bonuses.
