American Express raised the welcome bonus to 175,000 MR points, up from the typical 80,000–125,000 range. With a $895 annual fee this is a premium commitment, but the bonus alone clears $3,500 in travel value.

Amex is offering 300,000 MR after $20,000 in purchases in 3 months. That's a $6,000 estimated value at TPG rates — the highest welcome bonus on any mainstream business card right now. High spend requirement but unmatched for frequent business travelers.

Instead of a points bonus, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless is now offering 4 Free Night Awards (each worth up to 35,000 points) after $3,000 in 3 months — plus a $100 airline credit. Free nights typically deliver better value than equivalent points.
