any CC's beat the United MP Visa?

Free ticket in US or Canada via United Airlines for only $82!!!

I got the visa with 15,000 miles for $60 (annual fee)
Upgraded to Gold with 5,000 miles for $22 (annual fee)
Now I'm working on getting 5,000 miles through a referral (wanna be my referee? you would get 15,000 miles for getting the card through me)

Voila, 25,000 miles for $82, and no flying!! I think I will be flying to Montreal with this reward.

I'm also getting more miles easily because I'm doing their balance transfer for 1 mile/$2 with my car loan. This visa gives me a better transfer rate (5%) than my car loan (6.25%)! (there was no 0% special for my specific car, but other cars there were.)

Does anyone know of any other credit cards like this???

So far, I have the Alaska cc and United cc. I'm willing to be someones referral if there are awesome deals like this!

Seems to me the United card gives more opportunities for bonus miles than Alaska. I just got a flyer in the mail that said double miles for every purchase on the United card between Oct 1-Nov 30. That is awesome because I know that the Delta cc gives double miles but for only certain purchases.

And a shameless plug....if you want to be my referral for either of those cards, please let me know! ;-)
