Credit card issuers have been offering all kinds of additional perks and bonuses on spending in order to keep cardmembers engaged in these difficult times.
For the past few quarters, Chase has been offering limited time, targeted spending bonuses on select cards. That trend is continuing, as Chase seems to have just rolled out new spending bonuses for the second quarter.
In this post:
Chase’s card spending bonuses for 2021
Chase is offering targeted spending bonuses on many of its card products, with registration being required. It’s always worth checking periodically to see if your cards are eligible, since sometimes offers are added even after the start of the promotion period.
To see if you’re eligible, just visit chase.com/mybonus and enter your last name, zip code, and the last four digits of your card number. If you have multiple Chase cards you’ll have to check your eligibility for each card individually.
The current round of bonuses seem to be valid for purchases between April 1 and June 30, 2021.
What kind of bonuses should you expect?
Different co-brand cards are offering different bonuses. You can check what each card is eligible for at this link. These bonuses are targeted — not everyone will b eligible, and even those who are eligible may be presented with different offers. It looks like these bonuses are specific to co-brand cards, so let me share some of the offers I’m seeing on my cards.
The World of Hyatt Credit Card (review) is offering 5x World of Hyatt points at grocery stores and restaurants, on up to $1,500 in combined purchases.
The IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card (review) and IHG® Rewards Club Traveler Credit Card (review) are offering 5x IHG Rewards Club points at grocery stores, gas stations, and drugstores, on up to $1,500 in combined purchases.
The British Airways Visa Signature® Card (review), Iberia Visa Signature® Card (review), and Aer Lingus Visa Signature® Card (review), are offering 5x Avios at grocery stores, gas stations, and drugstores, on up to $1,500 in combined purchases.
You can potentially expect similar offers on co-branded cards for Marriott, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines cards.
Earn bonus World of Hyatt points for credit card spending
Bottom line
Chase has some new targeted spending bonuses on cards between April 1 and June 30, and you can check your eligibility here. I’m guessing most card members should be eligible, though it’s possible that these offers are targeted for now.
Frankly keeping track of the best credit cards to use at the moment can be a daunting task, given just how competitive temporary bonus categories have become. Some of these bonus categories are great — for example, I’ll definitely take advantage of the bonus on the World of Hyatt Card.
Were you targeted for Chase spending bonuses, and if so, do you plan on taking advantage of them?
My wife and I both got 5X on all spend up to $1500 for Apr-June on our Southwest cards.
I like how there is a predictable value to these points and we will max out these offers.
Wish they would make it automatic vs having to ACTIVATE the offer!!
I got 5x on all purchases up to $1500 on my WOH Visa, IHG MC, and Disney Visa cards, and 5x on grocery stores, gas stations and drugstores up to $1500 on my United Presidential Plus MC.
@ Lucky - On closer look your IHG card also shows that the promotion is valid from January 1 through March 30 but your WoH card shows the right dates.
@ Lucky - The activation screenshot of your British Airways card says that the of promotion is valid from January 1 through March 31, 2021. I just activated my United MileagePlus card and got the same dates. I thought this was supposed to be valid from April 1 through June 30. Anyone else?What I’m missing?
@ Lucky - so does this all stack if I'm staying at a Hyatt hotel and eating at a hotel restaurant? I have the WOH credit card and I'm a Globalist so will I be earning a total of 15.5 points with this promo?

Oops. 7500. This is why I don't like using a phone to post.
WOH: 5x on groceries and restaurants. So, 6500 points for buying food in the second quarter. Should be quite easy to max out. I didn't receive any offers in Q1.
Getting 5x points on gas/groceries/drugstores on Marriott Bonvoy. Not bad.
Received 5X up to $1500 on any purchases on the Hyatt
I got 5k bonus points after $3k in spend on my Hyatt card. The problem is that this offer expires on 3/31, so hopefully I didn't ruin my chance of being eligible for a promotion next quarter because of this. People may want to wait until 4/1 before checking to be on the safe side.
WOH 5X $1500 unrestricted Q2. Time to dust off the card for non restaurant and airfare purchases. Didn’t bother checking others as not really worth it to me. Thanks Mr. Lucky!
Only United, Marriott, and the new IHG were eligable. Nothing for the other 4, including the UR ones!
@Lea
Frequent Miler has more specific links for the Marriott cards. When I use the link Ben has in this article, it just shows the Q1 promo I already knew about (5x on grocery, gas stations and drug stores). When I registered via the Boundless link on FM, I saw that I was targeted for the 5x on all purchases for Q2.
I also received 5x on all purchases with WoH. My United...

I also received 5x on all purchases with WoH. My United Gateway just shows me the Q1 offer (similar to Boundless). None of the other United links out there have worked.
WOH 5X grocery and gas//Southwest 5X on all
Got 5x points on up to $1500 spend with WoH and BA cards. Agree that this seems targeted to cards that did not get a bonus offer in the first quarter. Struck out with Ritz, CSR, and Freedom Unlimited.
I got 5k WoH bonus points after $3k in spend on my Hyatt card.
0/4 on my cards
I got 5% on my WOH for ALL purchases up to $1500, not just groceries and restaurants in Q2
I’m targeted for the WOH 5x promo, but it’s not restricted to categories. It’s on all spend up to $1500
WoH ineligible. I took advantage in the Q4 '20 promotion.
It works only if you haven’t been targeted for 5% in Q1. All of us that were, have to wait for Q2 and hope that will work then.
I got Hyatt & UA for Q2 but IHG & Marriott show Q1 offers. I've actually completed the IHG offer already. I'll try to remember to check IHG & Marriott again for offers after April 1.
Nothing on the WoH or CSR cards. My IHG Premier is 5k points after spending $3K. Think I'd rather keep the $3k on the CSR.
Received 5X up to $1500 on any purchases on the Hyatt and United cards
My Chase UA card is eligible but for the Jan-Mar period for grocery/drugstore/gas station up to $1500. Better late than never... will take advantage of it for the next week. lol thank you!!
Not targeted with my WoH card. Chase collected the AF in January and I don’t matter as a customer until October.
