Chase Sapphire Preferred 30k+100k or Ink 30k+75k via Rakuten - EXPIRED
In one of the best deals lately, Rakuten is currently offering an amazing deal for the Chase Ink Unlimited OR the Chase Sapphire Preferred. This takes the cake over every other Chase offer out there, and for many people, potentially over every other offer out there right now. But - it's only around for a few days, or a week! So you have to apply ASAP. Run for this.
I'm so convinced in this offer that I would tell you to apply for these over any referrals, even my own. This will get you 105k for the Ink (75k Chase and 30k Amex) or 130k for the Sapphire Preferred (100k Chase and 30k Amex), with no taxes on the extra points (this would happen with a referral. As an individual it doesn't matter to you, but now, you'd be getting even more points. As a family or those with referrals, the referrer gets taxed on their referral bonus - so this is much better).
IMPORTANT: You should set your Rakuten payout as Amex points, NOT cashback, if you have an Amex account already.
Rakuten will get the referral points, but it doesn't even matter to me since it's such a great deal. If you don't have a Rakuten account, you can use my referral to get one (adding $40 to your 130k or 105k), and it can be a win-win, but no pressure. If you have one already, enjoy!
IF you have $11k in spend in 3 months, you can get both - first the Ink and secondly the Sapphire (doesn't work the other way around). This is a large amount of spend, but if you have it and get both cards, will leave you with a ton of points for little work overall.

If you are eligible for these (no Chase Sapphire bonus in the past 4 years for the Sapphire offer, or anyone is eligible for the Ink offer), I'd snatch these up before they go away - there's no specific end date but most likely they are part of Rakuten's Big Save Week that ends May 12th. Given how good these bonuses are, I'd jump on them now vs hoping they are still around.
