Dan Novaes offers a short, first-person hack for maximizing credit-card sign-up bonuses: he purchases large amounts of Amazon gift cards (example: $5,000), loads them into his Amazon account, and then spends those balances over the next 3–6 months to meet new-card minimum-spend requirements and collect the signup bonus (example bonuses: 100k–150k points). He notes this approach won’t capture Amazon’s 5% credit but expands the usable spend during the challenge period. The clip ends with a call-to-action to follow for more hacks.

Another area that I often see people struggle with is how to get those sign up bonuses from those credit cards. What I've done in the past is I will go on Amazon and I will buy $5,000 worth of gift cards on Amazon itself and I will load them onto my account. I know that over the course of the next three to six months, I will utilize that on everyday purchases. And I'm able then to collect that hundred or 150,000 point signup bonus very easily and essentially for free for spending on things that I was going to spend anyways. Now, you're not going to get that 5% Amazon credit by doing it this way, but you are going to get that signup bonus and it's a way to basically increase the amount of spend that is remaining within that challenge period for that new signup.
