Of course, if you aren’t able to make a spend of $1,000 in the time intervals of December 16 to December 31, 2016… You will always have the ability to strive for the lesser bonuses of $50 or $30. There’s tons of rewards on JCB’s cards and maximizing the 3% spend shouldn’t be too hard on the Marukai… However, on the Mitsuwa, a $50,000 spend is necessary if you want to max out at 3%, otherwise, I would just go for the 2% Cash Back. To maximize rewards value I stress that you put a spend interval of $100 each month. Find out which card is right for you by checking out our complete list of Credit Card Promotions today!
