Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for August 2018

I am a little late on this list compared to normal. The reason is because there were very few changes to this list, so I wanted to give it more time to see if something comes up. Unfortunately, nothing significant has come up.

Note that we also have two other types of monthly lists going on:

• Top Cash Back Credit Card Offers
• Best Current First Year Fee Waived Cards

Please let us know in the comment section below if you would like to see other types of monthly lists as well!
