still not a great deal esp with all the 5x bonuses out there, but maybe worth it for 241 ticket and the 50k after 1k in purchases. 100k is too hard to get with the 20k in spend for most people, esp with all the other opportunities out there.
Is the other option gone, 100k after $150 in fees?
This seems to be a better deal than last year's 50/50 that also had $75 charged at first purchase, and another $75 at the 1 year anniversary.
The T&C for this offer say annual fee $95 - but I can't find a mention of the $75/$75 as was charged in April's offer explained here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...d-150-fee.html
That April offer also had the $95 annual fee.
Thoughts?

Wow, you've been around awhile, but just now posting.
yeah, but the companion cert isn't that worth it IMHO
too expensive in terms of fuel surcharges
I think it all depends on what you value your travel at. I was able to utilize the mint deal to get us to the 30K spend requirement. We are using ours 2 4 1 to fly F to Europe next spring. True it's about $2K in fuel surcharges but those tickets would normally cost us $30K if we bought them outright (which we never would). I think it's up to the individual and what they want.

There's definitely some value with the 50K points for folks who already had their eyes on a BA award with the upcoming/possible/hopeful MR-->Avios bonus. This would be a good way to help hold on to some MR.
