We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Necessity is the mother of invention. Behind closed doors, credit card issuers are perspiring through their cotton suits as they scramble to craft promotions and offers that will persuade you to keep swiping your cards — and keep paying their annual fees. And they’ve thrown some pretty remarkable offers to their customers.

    The latest news comes discreetly from Chase, which currently offers various targeted spending bonuses across their co-branded travel credit cards. I’ll explain how to find and register your cards, so you can begin earning 500% more points than what you’re currently earning for select purchases.

    Register for Chase spending bonuses

    If you’ve got any of the best Chase credit cards, you’ve got to check out these deals. Finding them is simple: Navigate to the activation page and enter the requested details. You’ll enter your last name, the last four digits of your card, and your billing ZIP code.

    Note that similar spending bonuses appeared in Q3 and Q4 of 2020. These new deals are for spending from Jan. 1 to March 31, 2021.

    Be sure to check every Chase card you’ve got.

    My United℠ Explorer Card was targeted for a special offer. I’ll get 5 miles per dollar spent on up to $1,500 at grocery stores, gas stations and drug stores. It appears that this offer is the same for most of the other co-branded Chase credit cards. The deal expires March 31, 2021.

    This bonus means I’ll earn 4 more miles per dollar than I normally would with the United℠ Explorer Card. That’s a great 6.5% return on spend, as we value United miles at 1.3 cents each (although you can easily get more value than that).

    MMS team members were targeted for offers across a variety of their Chase cards. Other data points show bonuses available for following Chase credit cards:

    The information for the British Airways Visa and Aer Lingus Visa has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    Note that the above list is not comprehensive, so you should check every co-branded card you have. Again, these are only our findings thus far. If you’ve got a Chase card, see if you’re targeted [click here] and comment on this post with your offer. We’ll update as necessary.

    Bottom line

    Travel credit cards aren’t exclusively for frequent travelers. If you board a plane once or twice per year, your lifestyle warrants a travel credit card. Besides, card issuers add many offers that you can take advantage of without traveling at all — like bonus points at grocery stores, drugstores, and gas stations. This latest targeted promo from Chase is just the latest.
