Datapoints:
There is a $90 AF and one cannot earn the 90K in one year unless one does $25K spending.
Best way to add to initial purchase bonus of 20K is to add AUs (and quite a few of them, too!).

Yes I have had as many as 3 open as the same time. I still get emails every other month from BofA with the 90K offer.

The linky in the Wiki didn't work for me, but via a card/bonus site I got this one:
https://secure.bankofamerica.com/applynow/welcome.go
and it worked just great for me, with instant approval for the 90,000 mile deal. Only $12K credit limit, but if I understand correctly, I can make that $12k x 3 or 4 in a week's time

Apart from that, they sure do make it hard to redeem points without excessive surcharges.

Just update the wiki the latest 90K link. Got approved for the my 7th 90K offer last week. That's 4 in the last 12 months and 7 since the summer of 2014. Currently have 3 open accounts. Have never flown on Virgin Atlantic. Use these miles primarily to travel on Delta domestically and to Mexico.

VS is really a niche currency. They are good for partner awards but be cognizant that it can be very hit or miss. They are also good for upper class redemptions with moderate to high surcharges depending on where you are flying from/to. One redeeming (no pun intended) value of VS in the recent past was they had good UC availability on a route my family needs fairly often but in the past six months or so availability has been much tighter. I'd really research how you are likely to use them and whether that use is really an option (i.e., has award seats can be booked if on a partner).

Is there a way to reliably identify DL availability prior to calling VS to book? Inasmuch as DL no longer publishes a Skymiles redemption chart I don't know if there is an award level which generally corresponds to partner availability, but perhaps this can be seen by searching on AF or another partner?
