Editor’s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.
One of the best reasons to apply for a travel rewards credit card is the welcome offer. Often, you can earn tens of thousands of points or miles within the first few months of opening a new credit card by hitting certain minimum spending requirements.
However, welcome offers change all the time, and part of any successful travel rewards strategy is knowing when it is the right time to apply for a specific card. After all, you wouldn’t want to miss out on a haul of bonus points by applying too early — or too late.

Without tracking the welcome offers on specific cards over time, however, you might not have the context you need to know whether a particular offer is worth applying for at any given moment.
Luckily, we’ve done that work for you and monitored some of the most popular travel rewards and cash-back cards to give you bonus ranges and some clear benchmarks for when you should consider applying for each.
You can also check our frequently updated list of the best increased card offers to sign up for.
In this post, we’ll focus on American Express, which fields some of the best cobranded and proprietary rewards cards available from any issuer.

On the other hand, applying at the right time could put even more rewards within reach — possibly without higher spending requirements.
Before applying for any new card, look at the range of its previous welcome offers. Then, when an offer hits the higher end of that range, you can apply feeling sure you’re getting a great deal and are making the right choice for your rewards strategy.
