How does everyone else seem to get enough miles and points to score free hotel stays and flights? The smartest deal seekers know that applying for a new credit card promo is a smart way to make leeway on their mileage balance.

Lean in. Credit card companies are now offering new deals and lucrative bonus promotions for new customers.

In one short list, we're going to tell you the featured credit card bonus on CreditDonkey - but it's only available for those with excellent credit.

• 
  Like to travel? If you spend over $1,334 per month on your credit card, this promotion is for you: Chase Sapphire Preferred. You'll earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That's $750 toward travel when you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards®. There is a $95 annual fee.

  Besides the lucrative Chase credit card promotion, the Sapphire Preferred also gets our attention because you can earn 2X points on travel and dining at restaurants & 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases worldwide. For folks who eat out or travel often, this credit card is worth signing up for.

  And there's more. Frequent travelers know airline miles are the key to saving money, and the Chase Sapphire Preferred lets you transfer the rewards points to participating frequent travel programs — at full 1:1 value.

  This card was made for international traveling. There's no foreign transaction fee. Plus, you get premium travel perks, such as trip cancellation and trip interruption insurance -- and purchase protection benefits such as extended warranty.

  To learn more, read our Chase Sapphire Preferred Review. We'll discuss the reasons why we like the card (and the reasons you may want to skip it).

• Airline / Delta: If you like to fly Delta, consider the Delta SkyMiles Gold from American Express, a CreditDonkey partner. Earn up to 70,000 bonus miles. Earn 60,000 bonus miles after you spend $2,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months. Plus, earn an additional 10,000 bonus miles after your first anniversary of Card Membership. Offer Expires 4/1/2020.

  You can redeem the miles toward award travel. Domestic one way award tickets start at 10,000 miles (plus taxes and fees) for travel within and between the Continental U.S., Alaska and Canada.

  You'll earn 2x miles on Delta purchases, at restaurants worldwide and at U.S. supermarkets and 1x mile on other eligible purchases. Additional benefits include: check your first bag free on Delta flights; Main Cabin 1 priority boarding; and no foreign transaction fees (See Rates & Fees).

  There is a $99 annual fee ($0 introductory annual fee for the first year) (See Rates & Fees). For some travelers, the $99 annual fee is worth it. For example, the ability to check your first bag free on every Delta flight is a potential savings of up to $240 per round trip for a family of four.

Cashback Deals

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when in the market for a new cashback credit card is applying for the first credit card bonus offer that comes along. You could be missing out on a lucrative bonus offers that could put cash in your pocket for using the new card frequently within the first few months of owning it. Don't miss out.

Take a look at our list of the featured cashback promotions:

• 
  Cash Back Deal: Chase Freedom Unlimited lets you earn a $150 Bonus after you spend $500 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening. Earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on all purchases. There is also a 0% intro APR for 15 months from account opening on purchases and balance transfers, then a variable APR of 16.49-25.24%. 3% intro balance transfer fee when you transfer a balance during the first 60 days your account is open, with a minimum of $5. The cash back rewards will not expire as long as your card account remains open. There is no annual fee.

• Supermarket & Gas: If you spend over $333 per month on your credit card, consider the Blue Cash Preferred. This card from American Express, a CreditDonkey partner, offers a $250 statement credit after you spend $1,000 in purchases on the card in the first three months.

  And grocery shoppers should pay attention, because this credit card earns 6% cash back at U.S. supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases (then 1%) and 3% at U.S. gas stations. That means if you spend $100 a week on groceries at your local U.S. supermarket, you would earn back $312 a year.

  But what's the catch? The card comes with a $95 annual fee (See Rates & Fees).

  Otherwise, you might want to consider the Blue Cash Everyday, the no annual fee sibling. Instead of the 6% cash back at U.S. supermarkets, the Blue Cash Everyday earns 3% cash back at U.S. supermarkets (on up to $6,000 per year in purchases, then 1%) and 2% at U.S. gas stations.

  And the Blue Cash Everyday has a 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months. After that, a variable APR, currently 12.99% - 23.99% Variable (See Rates & Fees).
