Best Welcome Bonus credit cards in United States

Welcome-bonus credit cards in United States are the cards we hold a sign-up offer for — points or cash paid once you meet a spending target.

*a card is filed here when we hold a welcome-offer figure for it. Offers change and expire more often than anything else on a card, so confirm the live offer on the issuer's page before you apply.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is the best welcome bonus credit card in United States?

The best welcome bonus card in United States depends on your spending and goals. We list every welcome bonus card we hold — 76 in total — with the issuer's published fees, networks, and welcome offers, so you can compare on the facts rather than the marketing.

How do I choose a welcome bonus credit card?

Compare the annual fee against the value you will actually use, check the network and any welcome offer, and weigh it against your top spending categories. Open any card below for the full breakdown, or use the Compare tool to line up two or three side by side.

Can I combine a welcome bonus card with other cards?

Yes. Many people pair a welcome bonus card with a complementary card so each handles the categories it earns most on. Holding cards from different issuers is common and can raise your overall rewards.

How do I know these welcome bonus card details are current?

Each card's review page marks every figure it prints: “Checked” with the month (and a link to the published document where we hold its address), or “Not yet checked” with the issuer where no check is on record — and a card with any unchecked figure says so at the top. A figure the issuer's pages we checked do not state, or that sits behind a site that blocks automated reading, is left blank and marked “Not published by the issuer where we checked” or “Issuer restricts access — check their site”. The date beside “Annual fee checked” covers the annual fee only. Terms change without notice, so confirm the current fee and offer on the issuer's own page before you apply.
