It sure seems like June is the refer a friend month as several banks and other travel related companies have increased the signup bonuses on their credit cards or travel products! In all these cases below, an existing user can refer their friends to earn extra points or miles. So have your significant other, best friend, or family member refer you, so you are guaranteed to get the best offer possible but while also allowing the referrer to get a small bonus. If you need a referral for any of these products below, please contact me at ralph@pointscentric.com
1) Chase Sapphire Preferred – This is the best all around credit card in my opinion and it has a signup bonus of 40,000 points after spending $3,000 in 3 months. It earns 2x points on travel and dining expenses, has a 7% annual divided on all points earned and offers flexibility in its rewards as Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer out to many different airlines and hotels including United, Southwest, Hyatt, Marriott etc. The annual fee of $95 is waived for the first year.
My referral link – HERE. This expires on June 20th.
2) Chase Freedom – This is an underrated card in the Chase Family that is currently offering an increased signup bonus of 22,500 points or $225 cash back after spending $500 in 3 months and adding an authorized user instead of the usual offer of $100 cash back. It has no annual fee so this is a keeper for life and is a good way to always maintain a strong relationship with Chase. The strong suit of this card is it offers 5x points or 5% cash back on different categories each quarter which is unheard for a no annual fee card. Additionally, this card is marketed as a cash back card but if you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Ink Bold, you can actually turn the Freedom’s points into transferrable points instead of just cash back. This is a pretty powerful tool as the points are more valuable when transferred to airlines or hotels then just used for cash back.

3) Starwood American Express – I’ve already detailed this offer in a prior post but it remains the highest offer ever for this credit card. Check out my previous post for more detailed information but the signup bonus is 30,000 points after spending $5,000 in 6 months. Please note the public offer does match this offer now.
My referral link – Please email me your email address and via Amex, they will send you the link for the offer. This expires on June 30th.
4) Southwest Frequent Flyer Account – The first non credit card on the list but as I’ve written before, you can earn 750 miles simply for signing up for a Southwest Frequent Flyer Account. If you’ve followed my advice at all, you probably already opened an account but if not, open one now for a free 750 points when referred by an existing user.
My referral link – Please email me your email address and via Southwest, they will send you the link for the offer. This expires on June 15th.
5) Award Wallet – Another deal I’ve written about before as this is simply the best way to track your points and miles for free. I now can offer a free upgrade to an Award Wallet Plus account (usually $5+ for an upgraded account) using promo code ” free-rxlcee “. The upgraded account offers some higher level tracking and displays expiration dates for all your accounts.
My referral link – HERE. This does not currently expire but the free upgrade coupon is only valid for the first 9 users.
