FM, I wouldn't put spend on either card for earning US miles. Both would be trumped by a 2% cash back card (or virtual 4x AMEX via Ink) when you consider one can effectively buy US miles for under a cent during the US Grand Slam. That said, here's my issue with the application links in that blog post. By choosing to include them the sign up bonus becomes relevant. It can't be tangential when you're including a link for someone to apply for a card. It's really sad that more bloggers don't take your lead and only put such links in their blog posts when they are the topic of discussion.
