Our Verdict
Current public offer is for 65,000 miles. This is 25,000 miles less, but you get a $200 statement credit. The upside to this offer is that only $2,000 in spend is required, rather than $10,000. Because of that a lot of people will prefer this smaller bonus. Most people won’t be eligible due to the 5/24 rule and the fact that this is a targeted offer. If you have any questions about this card or Chase cards read this post first as your questions are most likely answered. I won’t be adding this to the best credit card bonuses due to the fact it is targeted.
