What Changed

The updated welcome offer advertises a bonus as high as $500 with a $5,000 spending requirement in the first 3 months. The previously listed offer was $250 after $3,000 in spending over the first 3 months. The new maximum bonus comes with a higher spending requirement.

Our Take

This is worth considering if your planned business purchases will meet the spending requirement. Check the actual bonus offered before applying, and avoid extra purchases just to qualify.

Before You Act

  1. 1Confirm the welcome offer available to you.
  2. 2Check whether planned purchases total $5,000 in the first 3 months.
  3. 3Review welcome-bonus eligibility before applying.
