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.

Southwest 50,000 Point Card is Back! (Expired) And (Targeted) 50,000 Mile Delta Card!

Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

50,000 Miles After Spending $1,000 Within 3 Months is the Best Delta Offer I’ve Seen!

Update:   This offer is no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers. 

1.   50,000 Point Southwest Card

Link:   Southwest Credit Cards

Link:  Southwest Companion Pass

Thanks to all the readers for sending me a link to the 50,000 point Southwest card!

All 4 versions of the Southwest credit cards currently offer 50,000 Southwest points after spending $2,000 within 3 months.  You can redeem 50,000 Southwest points for ~$850 in Southwest flights or for ~$500 in gift cards.

2 Southwest credit cards and 10,000 extra points can get you $3,666 in Southwest travel and a Southwest Companion pass so that your companion can fly free (pay just the $2.50 security fee) for up to two years!

The offer is likely to be around until October 30, 2013.  That said, you’re better off waiting to apply for the card until the 2nd or 3rd week of October.

That way, you have until the 2nd or 3rd week of January to complete the $2,000 minimum spending.  This means that the 50,000 point bonus counts towards the Companion Pass in 2014 and if you earn the remaining 60,000 points in 2014, your Companion Pass is valid until the end of 2015!

But you can apply now if you have already earned, say, 50,000 Southwest points in 2013 so that you can get the Companion Pass in 2013.  Or you can apply now if you’re not after the Companion Pass (but why?!)

There are 4 versions of the cards and each is considered a different product!

2.   50,000 Mile (Targeted) Delta Gold

I wrote yesterday about a targeted Delta offer for 50,000 miles after spending $1,000 within 3 months.  I also said that the current offer which pays me a commission isn’t such a great deal because you only get 30,000 miles and a $50 statement credit for any Delta purchase after spending $1,000 within 3 months.

I didn’t receive a targeted email, but I  checked my targeted offer at DeltaAmexCard and was offered 50,000 miles after spending $1,000 within 3 month and a $50 statement credit after a Delta purchase!

This is the most generous Delta offer which I’ve seen!  The Card Match tool used to have an offer for 45,000 miles after spending $5,000 within 6 months, which isn’t as good as my targeted offer.

50,000 Delta miles should get you at least 1 domestic ticket on Delta or $500 in travel on ANY Delta flights if you use the pay with points feature.

Emily got an offer for only 35,000 miles so your experience will be different!
