Lower your expenses with these travel-related presents in your bank cards this month

Editor’s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information.

A great way to obtain continuous value from your rewards credit cards is through the targeted promotions available to you.

You may be most familiar with Amex Offers, which provide excellent discounts on travel, retail and other transactions. However, other issuers have stepped up their games, and we’ve seen some useful offers from more banks lately.

In this monthly roundup, we highlight some of the most lucrative travel-related credit card promotions currently available. But don’t forget to use a shopping portal, too, to earn even more rewards on your spending.

Amex Offers is the most prolific and easy-to-understand program, and I’ve saved hundreds of dollars from these promotions over the years.

To view your offers, log into your online Amex account, scroll down to where you see a tab for “Amex Offers & Benefits,” then click on the ones that are available (and of interest). If you find one you’d like to use, click the “Add to Card” button to activate it and see the terms for the offer. Most of these have expiration dates and other conditions that you must meet.

Chase Offers often have a quicker expiration date than other issuers, but you’ll frequently find great savings for everyday spending on everything from restaurants to travel purchases. You’ll also find offers for rebates on gas with Chase more often than with other issuers, which can help you save at home, on a road trip or even when filling up your next rental car.

Here are some of the current offers:

• Homes and Villas by Marriott Bonvoy: $60 back when you spend $100 or more (expires March 2).
• Lyft: 10% back, with a maximum of $3 back (expires March 5).

Furthermore, Chase tends to provide promotions for brands it already partners with — such as Hyatt or Instacart — so adding these offers allows you to double-dip your earnings. Your offers might vary depending on the specific cards you carry.

Eligible cards and other details

All Chase personal and business credit cards have the potential for Chase Offers. They include popular options like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card and Ink Business Preferred Credit Card, no-annual-fee options like the Chase Freedom Unlimited and cobranded cards like the World of Hyatt Credit Card and the United Explorer Card.

However, note that the number of targeted discounts will likely be larger on those cards you use most frequently. Like Amex, these must be activated before your purchase.

In addition, discount percentages often have an earnings cap. Be sure you read the full terms of each offer to know what you’ll get back.

Citi Merchant Offers

Citi Merchant Offers can provide solid value, but what you see across your cards can vary greatly from one product to another or from one customer to another. Unfortunately, most members typically don’t see many travel-related offers. Here’s what’s currently available:

• Hawaiian Airlines: $30 back on a purchase of $150 or more (expires March 31).
• Lyft: 3% back on up to five rides, with a maximum of $7 back (expires March 31).
• Caesars Rewards: $30 back on a purchase of $150 or more (expires March 31).
• Exxon Mobil: 5% back on a purchase of $30 or more with the Exxon Mobile Rewards + App, with a maximum of $5 back (expires March 31).

Eligible cards and other details

All Citi personal credit cards have the potential for these Merchant Offers. This includes cards that earn Citi ThankYou points — such as the Citi Premier® Card and Citi® Double Cash Card — and cobranded cards like the American Airlines AAdvantage MileUp℠ Card. Remember to add the offers to your card before purchasing; otherwise, you won’t receive the rebate.

In addition, if you have an American Airlines cobranded card, remember to check the SimplyMiles platform for even more bonus opportunities. These stack with Citi Merchant Offers and will also count as Loyalty Points to earn American elite status.
