When applying for a new credit card, you always want to find the best welcome offer<\/a> \u2014 the one that offers the most bang for your buck, the most points, the most cash back.<\/p>\n

But what if there’s a welcome offer<\/a> so potentially lucrative that it keeps you from signing up for other cards for an entire year?<\/p>\n
