Best Military Credit Card Bonus Offers for November 2018

Credit card companies are desperate for you to use their cards. Some of the welcome bonuses they offer are ridiculously high, easily surpassing $1000 of value. For Military servicemembers and spouses, the benefits are even greater since annual fees are waived on Chase personal cards and all American Express cards.

You can earn free hotel stays, almost free* air travel (*just paying taxes and fees, usually under $50), business or first class upgrades, airline fee reimbursement, monthly Uber or UberEats credits, free Centurion and Priority pass airport lounge access, and the list goes on.

My wife and I have earned over 1.3 million points over the past 2 years without paying a dime in interest or fees. Thanks to military annual fee waivers, the outstanding travel, hotel, and airline benefits of the best credit cards are unlocked for military personnel and their families.

Learn more about how servicemembers and their spouses can get their annual fees waived on Chase and AMEX cards.

Pay off your balance every month and you can join me and thousands of other servicemembers in taking advantage of your SCRA and MLA benefits.
