The Best Credit Cards with Anniversary Bonuses
Many of the credit card offers that appear on the website are from credit card companies from which Wise Bread receives compensation. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this site (including, for example, the order in which they appear). This site does not include all credit card companies or all available credit card offers. Any opinions expressed are those of the author's alone, and have not been reviewed, approved, endorsed, or provided by the issuer.
Everyone loves to receive a gift on their anniversary. While your significant other might offer you flowers or chocolates, your credit card issuer has other things in mind to keep you happy. The right credit card can provide bonus points, free hotel nights, or even a companion airfare certificate just for renewing your card membership each year.
So if you are looking for a credit card that continuously rewards you for being a cardholder, consider these that offer valuable anniversary bonuses.
British Airways Visa Signature® Card
Cardholders of the British Airways Visa Signature® Card get a Travel Together Ticket good for two years, each year that you make $30,000 in purchases with your card. You can use this ticket as a second seat for a companion traveling with you on the same flight and in the same cabin. You get 3 Avios for each dollar spent with British Airways and 1 Avios for each dollar spent on all other purchases. New cardholders can earn a bonus of up to 120,000 Avios — 4 Avios points for each $1 spent on purchases for your first 12 months from account opening, or until you reach $30,000 in purchases, whichever occurs first. This card has no foreign transaction fees and an annual fee of $95.
