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.

    Great news for those of us who opened a Chase travel card in the past few months. Chase is responding to the fact that its customers may not be keen on spending as much money as they had planned, now that the coronavirus has incarcerated the country.

    Meeting minimum spending requirements has just become a whole lot more difficult for many — and those out of work will not be as loose with their money. Because of this, Chase has extended the minimum spending requirement for certain cardmembers. Do you qualify?

    Three extra months to earn Chase sign-up bonuses

    If you opened a Chase credit card between January 1 and March 31, 2020, Chase is giving you an extra three months to earn your sign-up bonus. Any U.S. consumer, whether you’ve opened a personal or small business card, is eligible, including:

    It was previously reported that customers had to send an extension request via secure message to Chase, but now there is no action necessary on your part — Chase has automatically provided the extra time for you.

    That’s a big deal to many of us — I opened World of Hyatt Credit Card in January, and I’m grateful for an extension. Note that this offer doesn’t currently extend to those who sign-up for new cards (though that may change in the future). If you don’t think you’re in the financial position to meet spending requirements at this time, take a break. Travel cards will continue to offer amazing bonuses, and spending money just to reach a bonus isn’t worth going into debt and bending the knee to high interest rates.
