Citi AA's website says 30,000 miles with a $1,000 purchase in the first 3 months.   :emawkid:
don't do that

hey guys, emawblast here. evidently i need a credit card. i've always used a debit and never saw the need for credit, but i guess it's probably time that i get one. i plan on using it basically as a debit card just to accumulate some credit, of which i have basically none of currently.

tell me which card should be my first.

it's not that easy.  what do you want?  airline miles? hotel points?  I guess you could start with the chase sapphire so it's flexible but you may not have enough credit. 

just start here http://millionmilesecrets.com/hot-deals/ and go down the line until you see a card that interests you.

the SW card is good for n00bs in most cases.

https://creditcards.chase.com/T600-020/Default.aspx?LP=6000280&AFFID=PPkX79_c.b0-N.Zh1sJ.ZUmLrx1DsdUGpA&CELL=6H8X&vanity=a1/southwest/2ffaffiliate

after you get this one and get the miles credited get this one

https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/southwest/2ffaffiliate/?CELL=6H8X&AFFID=PPkX79_c.b0-rKjBhIoKeDvniQQogU9AhQ&pvid=209558FOF505640372&jp_cmp=cc/271070/ext/3-10001876/na

you will get 100k total miles after meeting the spend on both. then you will need to get to 110k SW miles (just spend a total of 10k on the cards) and you will get a free companion pass for the remainder of the year and all of next year so everytime you book a flight a bud or chick bud flys free with you.

spg- 6 (wife, mine, business, auth users on each)

hhonors - 4 (wife, mine, auth users on each)

boa virgin - 3 (wife has 2 and I have 1)

I actually have 14 because I accidentally requested 2 auth user cards for me on my wife's account and they sent them both to me and let me activate and register both of them. :sdeek:

I would be a newbie as well on this.  So if I get the 100k points by say March/April i would have caompanion pass all of 2013 and 2014?
