Our Verdict

Standard bonus is 40,000 points, increased offer is 60,000 points. This is an extra $100 but does require an extra $1,000 in spend compared to the straight 60,000 point offer. Card is interesting due to the sign up bonus, but isn’t worth keeping long term. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
