I have to admit, many times I do not earn my annual spend bonuses on my cards because I am focused on using my other credit cards for 1. sign up bonuses and 2. bonus points on every day purchases. I think I should be taking advantage of these spend bonuses and will try harder. Most of these spend bonuses are based on a calendar year, so it’s best to formulate a plan in December for the following year.
Here are some of the cards that have annual spend bonuses that you may consider:
