Got this from US - basically, get the credit card, get triple flight miles that count towards status on all the flights that you pay for with the card by 6/04 - that means if you can pull 33.4K by June on US, you can get their highest elite level. Seems like a pretty legit offer - According to an article by Kieth Alexander in the Washington Post today though, it may not be the best investment of one's time. I'm sure that US will be around for years to come, but that's my uneducated guess.

Edited to Add - you can become a Silver with a mere 8,340 flight miles by June, or a Gold with a mere 17K by June.

Also - not sure if its targetted or not.
