What you talkin' about?
Citi is handing out 75K miles with no annual fee for AA card virgins. And you can do it, apparently, for three cards. Not to mention recent 50K offer for UAL card, 100K offer for BA card, etc.
While maybe not as good as the time when you could get new AA and UAL cards every month or two without much hassle, these days are still pretty good, bonus miles wise.
I say that even though the wackos at Citi refused ME a 75K card, just because I have had forty or fifty earlier bonus accounts.
