If you got the AAdvantage card that has an $85 annual fee and received 7,500 AAdvantage miles after your first purchase, even if you never used the card again and cancelled it after the first year, you would only be paying around 1.1 cent per mile to purchase those bonus miles. Not too shabby.
Of course, we on this board are always looking for an "angle" or the very best deal -- 10,000 bonus miles instead of 7,500, reduced or no annual fee, etc.

Kathy, I think the 10k bonus is a targeted though it was offered to my wife who hardly travels. I think the offer letter is still around the house somewhere, if you like, when i get back home, i'll check into the deal and see if there is a # that you can call to get this deal.
