60,000 Promo Skywards CC Offer - Anything better?

Hey All, GlobalMatt here. I'm normally on the AAdvantage boards. I keep getting CC offers for 60,000 Skywards miles sign-up offer after $3,000 spend in 3 months. Can hit that in a day. Also comes with $499 off up to 4 tickets. Seems pretty legit. I also have a gaggle of AMEX points and I'm thinking it's an easy 120k if both I and the Mrs. sign up.

Wondering if this is the best offer out there or is there a 100,000 offer, or any better offer. Don't want to jump on this opportunity if there is clearly a better CC option out there for Skywards. Here is the link for more details on the offer I keep getting. Mods, forgive me if this is a dupe post, but I couldn't really find it anywhere and my coffee is just starting to kick in.

Can’t help you here but all I’m gonna say is lucky you! I wish there was an Emirates Skywards credit card in France 😩

In the UK we have this really good deal where you get a massive 30,000 points after purchasing a card for a small fee of Ł575 and then you only have to spend Ł4000 in 3 months to receive it...

LOL, woof. Okay, so it sounds like it's not such a bad deal across the pond in this direction! Headed your way next week! Looking forward to a break from the states.

GlobalMatt.... I have been watching for a better offer for EK card for several months and have not seen anything better. But you should know that the 60K miles is for the Premium CC (which also gives you EK Gold status) and carries a $500 annual fee.... the other card will award you 50K for the same purchase requirement but only gives you EK Silver status, but also only has a $100 annual fee. Unless you can truly utilize the few extra benefits of Gold vs Silver, you might be paying quite a bit for the extra 10K in award points.

Thank you! On that basis my wife and I will likely get both then! $600 each for 0.5 cents each sounds like a great deal for 110,000 EK miles!

GlobalMatt.... I was wondering if you ever followed through and signed up for the Emirates Skywards CC..... more importantly, did you get both cards, just wondering if they allowed you to sign-up for both cards at the same time, or even within weeks/months of each other. You're right that 110k miles for 0.5 cents is a great deal.... better than any deal they have offered to purchase miles even with bonuses.
