Consolidated thread on current credit card offers?
Hi Everyone-
I am new to FT and have been reading forum for a few weeks now. I am planning to apply for a few credit cards to accumulate miles (airline alliance doesn't matter since I fly domestic/international ) as well. I was wondering if there is a thread on current credit card offers, sorry if I have missed during my search.
Currently I am liking Citi AAdvantage card. Apart from that it seems like following are good:
Continental one pass: since it mightn't be around after accounts merge with UA
UA card: giving 50K UA miles (is it a deal or just regular offer?)
SPG Amex: 25K offer - same qst, is it good enough to apply now or wait
BA Chase: seems like dead now
What other cards would you consider if you have to apply soon (or wait for sometime if there is a good reason).
Thanks in advance for your help!

You need to be aware not only of which program the card is affiliated with, but also which bank issues the card. For example, Chase Bank issues both the United and the Continental cards. Chase (and other banks) will often limit the number of applications you can make in a short time.
The websites mentioned above are good. And you will find threads on FT about many/most credit card offers. Sometimes you will find threads on offers in Miles Buzz, sometimes in a particular airline's forum, sometimes in the credit card forums. Search is your friend.
Unless you are looking at an offer that expires very soon, take the time to see what is out there and what fits your needs the best.
