In 2013, MBNA had a promo for 50K BWRs, after $1K spending...and another 10K after another $1K spending. So, in the end, effectively the same, 60K BWRs for $2K spending. So yeah, as good as it's ever been.

It's been a LOOOOONG wait to see them come back with a decent elevated promo. The recent 40K BWRs after first purchase promo was Ok, but I prefer the higher points even though it requires some spending.
