Let's see, I need to re-do the calculations to do this offer...
It works out to 7.67 miles/$ spent on that $2250, which is a pretty damn good deal in my view. Obviously not worth passing up something like an AA signup bonus (50k+3k/$3000 = 17.67 miles/$ spent), but it unquestionably beats anything other than spend to meet signup bonuses. The only real problem is that the terms are kind of fiddly -- you have to make sure you spend $750 in each of three separate months, which will necessarily involve some bookkeeping.
