A card with some very strong category earning (Gas, Grocery, Dining & Entertainment) sees the return of an increased sign up bonus. This time however it isn't First Year Free like we saw during the last bonus increase this past winter or as high of bonus as we saw around this time in 2014. The new offer that is current sees a sign up bonus of 20,000 points worth $200 in travel which is still a great deal as the annual fee is only $99 so you come out $101 ahead in the first year. This offer is valid until October 31st.
This card ranked third in the Travel Points Card with annual fee category in our 2015 Top Travel Rewards Credit card rankings. Here are some details on the card:
