$95 annual fee for 12.5K miles = $0.0076cpm - Better than any MR I have ever seen.
Plus, 25K sign on bonus, 5K for an additional card member and 5K x 2 for hitting spend thresholds.

I guess I am being greedy here.
These are DL miles, though. If you can use them, I'd take the miles, otherwise just waive the fee.

In the past, with different car rental promos DL miles have been easily available in the .0050-.0075 per mile range.
