Hi,
Welcome to Flyertalk. You can quite a few offers when you search the forums. Meanwhile here's something I learnt today:
BankOne has a fee-free Credit Card which offers 1 miles for every dollar and a free ticket within continental US for 24000 miles. I think it is good considering that it is a fee free card.
Ofcourse if you already have miles on some carrier then it is better to go with that carrier's card, and as a bonus you usually get a few thousand miles.

Make sure you read the fine print below from Bank One's website.... I also suspect that obtaining the tix -- despite the claim that there are no blackout dates -- will not be easy. Seats will likely be heavily restricted.
Pgary has lots of info on his website:
