You will get 50,000 bonus Avios after $1,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.2
25,000 bonus Avios after $10,000 in purchases within the first year of account opening.2
Plus an additional 25,000 bonus Avios after you make an additional $10,000 in purchases also within the first year of account opening.2
Together that’s 100,000 bonus Avios, which is enough for a round-trip business class award flight.3 Taxes, fees and carrier charges apply.4
It can't really be argued that the taxes/fees issue is not clear:
At time of this publication all reward flights and travel together tickets are subject to taxes, fees and carrier charges of approximately $650 per person in economy or $1,100 in business class based on travel from New York to London.
Yes, they have added that wording about how substantial the carrier charges can be.
If only they had put it there for the first 100,000 mile offer instead of still talking about enough miles for two free economy flights to Europe.
