You might want to take advantage of two current miles offers that I think are worthwhile:

1) 25,000 Continental Airlines miles (for opening a Chase debit card checking account): https://www.chase.com/index.jsp?pg_n..._Consumer_9938

See here as well: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...g-account.html

2) Also 35,000 American Airlines miles (with no annual fee for the first year) through a CITI bank credit card offer: http://creditcards.citicards.com/usc...765FA42CC149C9
