Our Verdict
British Airways deal is really the only one of interest, 4x Avios on all purchases (if spending more than $1,000 in a purchase) is very nice for people that value Avios. Only problem is that you have to spend that $1,000+ in a single purchase, but definitely doable for some people. The other offers suck as it’s basically an extra 0.5x mile/point per $1 spent if you spend exactly $4,000 and the earning rates on those cards suck.

How long after one activates a deal should I wait for the spending to count? I have a substantial non-bonus purchase to make in the next day or so...
I just got the Hyatt card, any idea if these are offer for everyone, or older customers?
I don't have an offer on my IHG, Hyatt or Marriott. Is there some opt-in or anything else one needs to do to get these offers?
There is one for Ritz too – “EARN AN ADDITIONAL 2,000 BONUS POINTS WHEN YOU SPEND $4,000 when you use The Ritz-Carlton Rewards® Credit Card.”
Thanks, added.
For the Hyatt and Marriott offer, you say "spend $4,000 on purchases and get an additional 2,000 miles". Are these airline miles? If so, what airline?
Nah they are the hotel points, let me update.
Got the United and Hyatt offers. What a joke.
I too received 5he Hyatt offer. I believe you need to spend at least 4000 in one swipe.
This is what I got
You’ll earn an additional 3 Avios per $1, up to a maximum of 9,000 Avios, for the entire promotional period, on purchases of $1,000 or more when you use your British Airways Visa credit card for transactions from 07/15/2018 through 09/15/2018. A purchase transaction must bill and post to your account in an amount that is equal to or greater than $1,000; for example, purchase transactions with items that ship at different times and bill in amounts less than $1,000 will not qualify for this bonus.
I guess I can use it on plastiq but, by doing that, I miss out on 3X UR points on CIP.

Tried to use the link for the SW deal but didn’t work out
the BA offer is different for everyone. its targeted. but i dont get why chase keeps sending this out for BA. they have been sending this offer every quarter. since its from chase, im suspicious. its almost like Citi wanting to offload their AA miles.
