It's unique because it's not "10,000 points" or something, which you would then have to redeem for nights. It's actually just 2 free nights upfront. Takes away a good deal of hassle, if you ask me.

Most credit card companies have some sort of similar type of give away when it comes to signing up. It's unique in the way it is giving away 2 free nights at a hotel of its own.

Either we overlooked the $15,000 required spend upfront, or it's been changed recently and we weren't aware. Either way I put in a temporary fix that should make it more clear, and we'll be working on a permanent fix to make it 100% accurate. As for your belief that we are magic, that is unfortunately not true. As you can see, the calculations for the rewards and APRs on all of our cards are as transparent as possible, and we clearly label "Sponsored" cards. In fact, less than 10% of our cards are sponsored, as you'll see if you start drastically changing the inputs, or if you are looking for a Student or Business card, since a lot of the "Sponsored" cards that you see will disappear from the rankings. If you feel we are being unfair, feel free to skip to lesser ranked cards and apply for one that is unsponsored. That's what they're there for, we don't mind! Hi Greg, great catch!
