I don’t know where summer went, but it definitely went by fast given it’s already Sept. 1! Normally we’d be bringing you the [best credit card offers of the month]( today, but since it’s also a Sunday, you’re getting the top stories of the week and the best card offers combined. Two of the best offers are still around for a few more days, but if you are interested, I recommend not waiting until the last day to apply. Ending Sept. 5: The [best-ever offer of 120,000 bonus points]( on the [Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card]( ends Sept. 5. New cardmembers can earn the bonus after spending $8,000 in the first three months from account opening. This card has a low $95 annual fee. Chase Ultimate Rewards points are some of our staff’s favorites because they are so versatile and transfer to 14 different hotel and airline partners, like Air France-KLM Flying Blue and World of Hyatt. Ending Sept. 9: The best welcome offer we’ve seen in years on the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card also ends soon. This [offer is valued at $1,000 worth of travel]( and the card earns 2 miles per dollar on everyday spending. New cardholders can earn [75,000 bonus miles]( after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening.
