Indeed. 3K initial spend on a Chase Sapphire would cost you $87.30, but would net over $500 in points. It's not worth it just for the points/miles, but is a viable option for initial spend.

By the way, to answer an earlier question, the equilateral rectangle company shut me off after around $10K in gift card purchases. Same reason as given to MM.
