The honest truth is, none of the currently "hyped up" credit cards offer such a good sign up bonus. For example, the Hawaiian Airlines cards that have most bloggers up in arms only offer 35K miles on signup (? not sure- plz clarify)- which is not enough for a first class or premium cabin award of any kind (except of intra-Korean awards flying KE- but who's interested in those for 30K miles?). So while say the 100K British Airways Visa, the two AAdvantage 75K Citi cards and the Chase 50K cards are good offer, things like Citi Thankyou points (oh god how I hate those), Hawaiian cards to even Southwest Rapid Rewards cards aren't worth pimping to nearly the extent that bloggers are currently doing.
