Easy way to get 245,000 airline miles + $250 in travel credits ✈️

Pinned

I just stacked a few current credit card bonuses and a travel app deal and realized you can earn up to 245,000 airline miles + $250 in travel credits + TSA PreCheck pretty easily if you’re planning any travel or normal spending anyway.

Here’s the breakdown:

1️⃣ Capital One Venture Card

Bonus:

  • 75,000 miles
  • $250 travel credit
  • $120 TSA PreCheck / Global Entry credit

Requirements:

  • $4,000 spend in 3 months
  • $95 annual fee

This one is great because the $250 credit + TSA credit almost cancel out the annual fee.

2️⃣ Delta SkyMiles Gold AmEx

Bonus:

  • 90,000 Delta miles

Perks:

  • Free checked bag on Delta
  • First year annual fee = $0
  • Easy miles to earn

Requirements:

  • $5,000 spend in 6 months

3️⃣ Citi American Airlines Card (no referral link)

I don’t have a referral for this one, but the public offer is:

Bonus:

  • 80,000 American Airlines miles

Perks:

  • First checked bag free

Requirements:

  • $4,000 spend
  • (check Citi’s site for exact terms)

4️⃣ Hopper app (hotel discount)

Bonus:

  • 10% off hotel stays

Link: https://sharing.hopper.com/invite/marshaw4ja

Just download the app using the link and book hotels cheaper.

Total potential haul:

  • 245,000 airline miles
  • $250 travel credit
  • $120 TSA PreCheck credit
  • Free checked bags on Delta & American
  • 10% off hotels

If you already have normal expenses (groceries, insurance, utilities, etc.), hitting the spend requirements isn’t hard without buying anything extra.

Disclosure: Some of these are referral links and I may receive a bonus if you use them. The Citi American Airlines card is not a referral. Always pay balances in full and don’t open cards if you’re carrying debt.
