I have a fairly large expense coming up and figure I might as well use it to knock out a minimum spend.  I'm leaning towards Citi Thank You Premier; unfortunately it's a 40k bonus instead of last year's 50k.

I already have Chase Freedom, Sapphire Preferred, AARP, and Amex Gold, but if you have a referral link for something as good as (or better than) the Citi Thank You Premier card, feel free to share! :)

With Amex - is it the Premier Rewards Gold that you have, or just the regular Gold card?  The PRG still has a 50k point bonus and $200 worth of airline reimbursements, the regular Green and Gold charge cards each had 25k point bonuses for a while (since I have them now, I can't tell if this bonus is still active).  With AmEx, you can get much better sign up bonuses if you don't use a referral link, so I won't bother giving you any.

Have you looked into the Barclaycard Arrival+ - it's good if you have $400+ in travel expenses to charge.

Apparently I have the Premier Rewards Gold card already - I thought it was the regular one. There are so many options once the biggest fish have been caught, lol.

I've got a referral link for Starwood Preferred Guest (AMEX) card if you are interested.  35000 points for $3k spend.  Usually the signup bonus ranges from 20000 - 30000 and this is the highest I've seen it.  A lot of flexibility with starpoints for both hotel stays or transferring the points to an airline. 

You can get this offer with or without a referral link and I'd highly recommend it either way!

I ended up finding a targeted code for a United/Chase card for 50k points (plus 5k for second card) for $2k spend (it showed up in the mail), so I signed up for that. I'll keep this thread and the recommendations (and referral links) in mind for the next one - thanks everyone!

Lucky!  I've been waiting to get targeted for the 50k United miles since I just became eligible for the bonus again, but I only see 30k online.  I'm not sure I've ever gotten a mailer from Chase/United.

Anybody have good cash back card referral links?

I don't have a referral link, but this New York Yankees offer showed up today and is good if you're just looking for a signup bonus: $200 cash back with $500 spend in the first 90 days.

Chase is about to institute its 5/24 rule for ALL of their cards. Concentrate on Chase cards.
