Re: Credit card sign-up bonuses (sorted by amount)
There should be a disclaimer on this thread that says in big, fat, red letters that ALL of these offers are subject to having your credit pulled AND subject to approval. Also, if the offers are going to be posted here, then all the fine print that accompanies those offers should be posted as well. The links provided in the OP's signature list the same offers but do not provide any of the fine print that people need in order to make an educated decision.
Multiple credit checks in a very short period of time can damage your credit. Ironically, it can also lessen your chances of getting approved for the very thing you're trying to obtain. I'd hate for someone to see all these offers listed, apply for a bunch of them and then get rejected and see their credit hurt because of it. Just because the offers exist doesn't mean people will be approved for them. The way these offers are listed here and on the linked sites makes it sound like anyone can be approved for them, all they have to do is apply. Unfortunately that's not the way things usually work.
Sorry to come across like a wet blanket, it just seems a bit irresponsible to me. Just my opinion.
