A six-figure welcome bonus sounds impressive \u2014 but what does that actually get you?<\/p>\n

Right now, the Chase Sapphire Reserve\u00ae<\/span> (see rates and fees<\/span>), the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card<\/span> and the American Express Platinum Card\u00ae<\/span> are all offering eye-catching offers worth a closer look.<\/p>\n

Big welcome bonuses<\/span> can be one of the fastest ways to build a large balance of points and miles, especially with premium travel cards<\/span>.<\/p>\n

But the best offer isn’t always the one with the biggest number. What really matters most is how much value you can get when it’s time to book.<\/p>\n

Depending on how you redeem them, each of these offers could cover a business-class trip to Europe, several domestic flights within the U.S., or a few nights at a luxury hotel.<\/p>\n

Here’s how these three current offers stack up \u2014 and how far they can actually take you.<\/p>\n
