Is a Credit Card Sign-Up Bonus Worth It? Here’s How to Tell

Описание: With so many credit card sign-up bonuses to choose from, it can be hard to tell which ones are actually good — and which ones are too good to be true. 100,000 bonus points sounds great on paper, but what will those points get you? And are they worth the annual fee?
