Welcome to Flyertalk

The best I have seen is below. You get 25K after charging $250 to the card.
FYI it is always best to use the search function as the has been cover before.
Best for the Platinum card I know of is 20k at ual.com.

At $140/yr, it is an expensive card to have. If you're just after the intro miles, 21k for the standard visa and first year free is a better deal. Note that new cardmembers who are 1k's no longer get the full $140 credited each year - only $60.

There is no fee the first year with the card above, but then it's not a Platinum. I'd rather have the free 25K miles than pay for a Platinum card. (Edited to correct OP).

I had the same thought as you at first, then realized that elCheapoDeluxe was referring to the platinum card, which is what the OP was asking about specifically.

Unless you really need the EQMs from the Platinum, the basic for free is just about as good in my book.
