Our Verdict
Nice offer, and it’s available via referral links as well which lets you give a friend a nice referrer bonus. The best straight bonus on this card before was $350 + waived annual fee (though there was a $200 + $200 (20% back on Amazon) offered and home furnishing up to $500). The new offer is higher at $400, but the annual fee is not waived, so overall a worse deal. Still a pretty good offer overall and it’s nice they give you 6 months for the spend, which also makes it easier to meet it all on bonus categories. We’ll add it to our list of the best credit card signup bonuses.
