Heads up, awardtrail readers! Chase is sending out targeted emails offering a sweet $250 bonus to some business checking account holders. The catch? You have to use Chase's online bill pay feature to pay at least five bills within 90 days of enrolling in the promo. Seriously, that's it!

Why should you care? Well, $250 is $250, right? It's basically free money for doing something you probably already do. Keep an eye on your inbox for an email with the subject line "Special offer: [Your Name], get ahead with Online Bill Pay and earn a $250 bonus." If you're not targeted for this offer, don't fret! Chase also has ongoing new account bonuses, currently up to $750, which may be a better fit. Big thanks to reader M K for the tip!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
