Are we supposed to be excited about a 100k × 10x points for 6 months offer that's been around for months now (if not 125k points)? Seems like affiliate links are just catching up...

-The 10x points is now on 25K in spending, the old offer was 15K
- Some may find Small Business spending an extremely easy category to figure something out in vehameivin yavin (Yes I get that gas and groceries are also good categories)

If you can do the 25k small business... Then it's almost half a million points with the 125k + 15x offer

Worth it?

There are offers out there for 125k signup plus 15X at restaurants and small business. Plus it requires only a 6000 spend

The spend for the 125k is 6k. After that, for  every dollar at small businesses, הכל רווח

It appears lots of people who applied for the card with the new signup bonus still got the old annual fee in their terms. If anyone’s applied in the last few days, can you check your terms and report what fee it says? Specifically the last day or two if possible.

FWIW, I think tomorrow's offer is a very strong one.
Very disappointed @Dan The hype was overreacted still a travel card nothing more

I wasn't talking about the card benefits.

I can't say what it is, but I'd say it is better than that. This is a big card relaunch and intro offer...
AMEX felt is was too travel focused, they want it to be more well rounded. What does big relaunch mean if not benefits?

I signed up for the Schwab card on 7/1 and my terms say $550; noticed that right away and saved a copy?  Curious to see what actually gets billed....
