I was honest and said I had accumulated "enough" FF miles already that I wasn't able to use and so the card wasn't valuable to me. Instead of trying to keep me on that card or a related card, she only offered the SimplyCash card. No special offers or anything. She just thought I might be interested in it. I'm not exactly a heavy spender but I don't think she was going to push hard to get me on another card because 6-7 months earlier I had moved 95% of my 5-10K/month to a non-Amex card.
I may still look into getting the card you mentioned though. The bonuses can be lucrative sometimes but I'd rather focus on accumulating some hotel points now.
