When you compare cards, be sure to distinguish status miles or MQMs from bonus miles. Sometimes the wording on these offers can be confusing.
Also, document the offer under which you apply. Take screen shots and be sure that you are eligible for any targeted offers. Assume that you will need to fight later for your miles and be prepared.
