I signed up for the United miles at first ($450K sale nets 135K miles - $2700 @ 2 cents/mile). But since I already have 250K UA miles, I felt the Home Depot Gift Card ($2000) would be a better deal. Moving into a new house, I could use the Home Depot GC more than taking a long trip that would eventually drain more money away from working on the house.
I wasn't aware of the Costco deal... hmm, maybe if I joined now I could switch yet again.
That would be $3400 in cash....
