The current sign-up bonus is $100 after spending $500, but this isn\u2019t a card you get for the sign-up bonus. Instead you get it because:\n<p>\u2013 It\u2019s 3% cash-back everywhere you pay with PayPal or Venmo (some MS-friendly stores take both)<br \/>\u2013 It\u2019s a Synchrony card<br \/>\u2013 It\u2019s a Mastercard<\/p>\n<p>The card gets 2% cash-back everywhere else, which is fine I guess.<\/li>\n<li>You can currently earn 1,500 points transferrable to either AA or Hyatt by downloading the Bilt Rewards app for <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/bilt-rewards\/id1565576987\">ios<\/a> or <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.biltrewards.bilt&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\">android<\/a> and linking your frequent flyer accounts. You\u2019ll earn:\n<p>\u2013 100 points for linking each of your non-Hyatt loyalty partners, ten in total, though you may want to wait for increased earnings on other programs before linking immediately<br \/>\u2013 500 points for linking your Hyatt account before May 27<\/p>\n<p>Note that the minimum to transfer is 2,000 points. I\u2019d love to get the <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biltrewards.com\/card\">Bilt card<\/a> <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thisinterestsme.com\/to-the-moon\/\">to moon my account\ud83d\ude80<\/a> , but I\u2019m sure I\u2019d be shutdown for manufactured spend before the card even arrived in my mailbox, setting a new world record. Also, blah blah blah getting below 5\/24 blah blah blah. (Thanks to <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/viewfromthewing.com\/1500-free-bilt-transferable-points-and-15-off-hyatt-bookings\/\">VFTW<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>OfficeMax\/Office Depot has $15 back on $300 or more in Mastercard gift card purchases, bringing your net cost below face-value even without rewards or other shenanigans. To maximize the deal:\n<p>\u2013 Link each of your Ink or other office supply bonused cards to a <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dosh.com\/\">Dosh<\/a> account<br \/>\u2013 Try and get multiple transactions in a single trip<\/p>\n<p>These are Metabank gift cards, so make sure you\u2019ve got a liquidation channel.
