This Facebook ad is from Chase for its Sapphire Preferred Card ($95 annual fee). 👇 Not only is Chase currently offering 60K bonus points for spending $4K in the first 3 months (worth $750 toward travel according to Chase) BUT it is also offering, for a limited time, 🔥$300🔥 in Chase Travel statement credits for any purchases made on Chase Travel in the first year. That's $1,050 out of the gate to offset the $95 annual fee! 💡Travel credit escalation. A few weeks ago I posted about the Capital One Venture Rewards limited-time travel credit of $250 and now here we are at $300 from Chase. Blending the sign-on bonus with a limited-time travel credit (for booking on a swanky new bank travel site) is the new strategy to win the wallets of aspiring travelers and it's really heating up. 💡💡Why is it heating up? Despite "softening," travel spend is still growing and is set to continue growing over the next few years. Card issuers have been focused on this opportunity and the travel card segment is now more competitive with more innovation than ever - travel portals, lounges, points transfer, travel credits, new types of bank-branded travel cards and more! Banks need to get some return on these sizeable investments. ✈💳The "Evolution of Bank Branded Travel Credit Cards" is a topic I'm on the road speaking about during the next few weeks.

Another trend outlined by the Mastercard white paper is the digitalization of business-to-business (B2B) travel payments, with virtual cards in particular emerging as an appealing payment option.
