Will the Credit Card Perks ever return? What was you best ever signup bonus?

Do you think we will ever get great credit card signup deals in the near future? We have a had a bit of drought since the GFC and I’m sure this next recession will not lead to lack lustre signup deals.

American Airlines has a great uk deal about 10 years ago a free return flight to The east coast in economy once you spent about £3k in 3months.

Sony had a card where if you spent a few hundred quid you got a free MP3 player in the late 2000s.

Not sure many would agree with this as stated, are you genuinely expecting good deals in a recession or did you just get your words a bit muddled?

Stuck with ASDA card, 1% on ASDA goods, .02 elsewhere, not much cop but better than nothing.

If you spend more than £150 a month at ASDA then you may find it worthwhile to sign up to CSSC or similar which has a small monthly fee (£4.25) and you can get e-vouchers with 3% cashback.  I have access to a similar discount scheme through my employer and get a 4% discount on ASDA vouchers, plus I can pay for the voucher with a credit card so get normal cashback from that too.

Starting to see the lloyds group pull all their 0% balance/money Transfer, suspect others will follow as well, can get 3.9% 0% fee 3 years but can understand why they are removing the 0% deals.

IMHO it won't be the worst outcome if CC's stop all this 0% rubbish, meaning customers have become card tarts and reduce their interest rates to long standing users, if as we might expect the coming recession turns into a depression then lenders will become very wary of who they give credit to and not before time.
(for the record I've had the same CC from the same bank for 35+ years)
