Airline miles are perhaps the best deal you can get for signing up for a credit card, just look at a ticket to Australia-they sell for about $1500 or so, yet with just 60,000 miles you have a free ticket there-putting a $500 value on a 20,000 mile bonus-not too shabby-and a heck of a lot better than a free t-shirt!
