Help with finding one more CC for miles

Long story short, I leave in May for Asia to teach English for 12 months. I am trying to find one more card to apply for and get before I leave to have some miles banked for later. I plan to get the card, get the bonus, transfer the points to a frequent flyer program, keep it for 11 months, then cancel it to avoid the fee. I'm having trouble singling out a high signup bonus card with no minimum spend requirement, so I came here for help. I'd prefer miles, but if an awesome hotel card is available I might consider it. And don't bash me too much, this if my first real effort in the FT arena. I listed specs below, any help is appreciated.

Me
FICO: 717 on CreditKarma, 737 on CreditSesame, not sure why different
4 year credit history
Util rate is about 24%
Low personal income, high household income
No late payments, bankruptcies, etc.
I don't care much about another inquiry since I'll have none for my entire time in Asia

Recent cards
Citi Diamond Preferred in November 2011
Chase Sapphire Preferred in February 2012

Card
No Chase cards, I won't risk them closing my CSP
No AMEX, I don't want a financial review
Any major airline is fine for transfers
I don't care if it's an airline branded card or not

Goals
Plan to use miles for upgrades for long-haul international, or barring that, domestic US economy flights

This card is the only one I can find that matches:
