I got the card last year with bonus miles and no fee for one year.

However, their "customer service" is horrendous and they have been very late posting miles--you have to factor in a number of hours on the phone each month and the psychiatrist's fees for treating the emotional trauma caused by the insults they like to hurl at you as part of the price.
