As far as I know, the Chase 50-55K offer in #1654 of this post http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...nt-credit.html still works. And this card is typically not churnable, so it's worth maximizing.

Also, if you can meet the extra 1500-2000 spend, you can get the AA Platinum Visa with 50K miles. Or you can get the MC gold with 30K points and only $750 spend, and give yourself a chance to get a better Platinum card down the road. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...nks-first.html
