Welcome Offers: Your Shortcut to Free Travel

Welcome offers are the golden ticket for anyone serious about earning travel points. These offers, offered by credit card companies to entice new cardholders, can cover an entire trip or even upgrade you to business class. Some credit cards offer up to $750 in travel just by signing up. To make the most of welcome offers, align them with planned expenses. Got a big purchase coming up? Use it to hit your card's minimum spend and earn more points. The key is treating your card like cash—only spend what you can pay off to avoid debt while scoring those travel rewards.
