So 14.5K (10K anniversary bonus) for $89 is a good deal in my opinion.
You'd get the 10,000 anniversary bonus regardless of whether you were keep the card or cancel so it's more like 4500 miles for $89. Still a good deal if you use the other benefits of the card such as the companion certs, 5000 mile discount on redemptions, and the 10,000 PQM after the $25k spend etc etc.
