Credit Card Welcome Offer History: Is Today’s Bonus a Good One?

Credit Card Welcome Offer History (Travel Summary title graphic)

A sign-up bonus only looks big or small next to what the same card offered before. This page keeps that record: every welcome offer you could get on your own on 25 popular and premium cards since October 2024, with dates, so you can see whether today’s offer is a good one or a normal one, and how often a card’s bonus goes up.

Last checked: October 15, 2026. The best offer you can get, not the one that pays a commission. No affiliate or referral links. Ever.

Quick Take

  • 9 of 25 cards are at their 2-year high today: Delta SkyMiles Platinum Amex, Hilton Honors Aspire, Chase Sapphire Preferred, United Explorer, Chase Aeroplan, Citi AAdvantage Executive, Citi AAdvantage Globe, Capital One Venture, Mastercard Black Card.
  • 10 are below their 2-year high, the furthest below being the Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex and Marriott Bonvoy Bevy.
  • 177 dated offers in all. Since October 2024 the United Explorer had 8 limited-time increases, and the Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex, Delta SkyMiles Platinum Amex, Hilton Honors Aspire, Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority and Chase Aeroplan each had 7. The BofA Premium Rewards Elite didn’t change once.
  • If a card’s bonus goes up every few months and you’re not in a hurry, waiting usually pays. If today’s offer is at its 2-year high, it rarely does.

3. Which Cards Raise Their Bonus Most Often?

Number of limited-time increases since October 2024 (cards with three or more):

  • United Explorer: 8
  • Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex: 7
  • Delta SkyMiles Platinum Amex: 7
  • Hilton Honors Aspire: 7
  • Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority: 7
  • Chase Aeroplan: 7
  • United Quest: 6
  • Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant: 4
  • Marriott Bonvoy Bevy: 4
  • Chase Sapphire Preferred: 4
  • Citi Strata Elite: 4
  • Atmos Rewards Summit (Alaska): 4
  • Chase Sapphire Reserve: 3
  • Citi AAdvantage Executive: 3
  • Capital One Venture: 3

Amex co-brand cards (Delta, Hilton, Marriott) move in and out of limited-time offers several times a year, usually for six to ten weeks at a time. Chase’s Southwest and United cards follow a similar pattern. Bank-points cards change less often, but when they do the jump is bigger, like the Sapphire Reserve’s 150,000 points in spring 2026.

4. How I Track Offers

  • What counts: the best offer a reader could get on their own: the bank’s public application page (including limited-time increases and launch offers), direct landing pages anyone can open (including “no lifetime language” pages), in-branch offers, in-flight offers and phone applications with a published code. Rows that weren’t on the bank’s public page are marked.
  • What doesn’t: referral offers (they need a current cardholder’s link), targeted mail, email or pre-approved offers, CardMatch, and anything only through an affiliate link.
  • Dates: from dated reports by Doctor of Credit first, then Frequent Miler, One Mile at a Time, AwardWallet, The Points Guy, Upgraded Points and others, checked against each other. “About” means the switch day isn’t known exactly; “1 source” marks rows only one report supports.
  • Amex “as high as” offers: since 2025 Amex shows some applicants a lower amount than the headline. The table shows the headline Amex advertised.
  • Keeping it current: the card offers are checked every week. When an offer changes, the old one gets its end date here and on the card’s review the same week.
  • Cite as: Travel Summary, “Credit Card Welcome Offer History,” travelsummary.com/credit-card-welcome-offer-history/, last checked [date]. Reporters can ask for the data as a spreadsheet through the press page.

5. Quick Answers

How do I know if a credit card bonus is a good offer?

Compare today's best available offer with the same card's past offers. On this page every card shows its offers since October 2024, its highest and lowest points, and whether today's offer is at or near the 2-year high.

Which credit card bonuses are at their highest right now?

As of October 15, 2026, 9 of the 25 cards tracked here are at their 2-year high. Use the "At a 2-year high" filter in the table; it updates when the offers change.

How often do credit card bonuses go up?

Since October 2024 the United Explorer had 8 limited-time increases, and the Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex, Delta SkyMiles Platinum Amex, Hilton Honors Aspire, Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority and Chase Aeroplan each had 7. Others, like the BofA Premium Rewards Elite, didn't change at all.

Should I wait for a higher bonus?

If the card has a history of limited-time increases and you don't need it now, waiting is reasonable. If today's offer is already at its 2-year high, waiting rarely pays. Check the bank's own rules too: many bonuses are once per lifetime or once every 24 to 48 months.

Does this page include referral, in-branch or special-link offers?

No. It tracks the best offer you could get on your own: the bank's public page plus direct landing pages, in-branch, in-flight and phone offers, each marked. Referral offers (which need a cardholder's link) and targeted mail offers are left out, and there are no affiliate or referral links on this site.
