Our Verdict
Current offer is 60,000. We once saw 100,000 points offer in 2021 and we’ve seen 80,000 offers too. This new branch offer comes pretty close to the top at 90,000 points, though we haven’t heard that the annual fee will be waived with this offer.
The wording of the internal memo sounds like the 90k offer might eventually become a public online offer, and then possibly it could become available via referral links as well. It’s always a guessing game as to whether to wait it out or just jump on the offer available at the time. (It might be possible to apply in branch and get the referrer bonus applied manually, but I’m not certain that’s true; it might depend on the banker’s knowledge, in any case.)
