Our Verdict
There is a 75,000 offer with no lifetime language but that is YMMV (50,000 after $5k and extra 25k after extra 5k spend). Readers also had success calling in to get the 100,000 point offer (requires $10,000 spend), this is listed as our top business credit card bonus currently. This targeted offer is strictly better as it has a lower spend requirement for the 100,000 points and also lets you earn the maximum of 150,000 points. If you’re targeted and can meet the minimum spend requirements on this card then it doesn’t really get any better than this.
