Until I started travelling a lot, I never contemplated an airline credit card. Went with my companies Barclay MC.
I've put almost everything on that card since Oct. With specials/multipliers and actual air miles I've flown building up, I'm relatively close to a Trans Pacific/Atlantic first class ticket.

I'd kill the fuck out of a hooker for a bottle of disinfectant to clean up after this hooker I just killed the fuck out of.

Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards® Credit Card
Applied, got approved.
Recieved 50k points. Bought $625 worth of Amazon GC. Sold it on 2+2 for face value for stars. Their was a $69 fee.
Total profit: $556
Their was a xmas sale going on when i bought the GC. Right now you can only buy $500 worth of GC for 50k points. Still a nice chunk of profit if anyone decides to go for it.

Nice!
Have you done any others?
I did Chase Freedom - spend $500 get $250
Chase Saphire - spend $3k (tuition  ) get $500
I think next will be a Citi that is spend $500 get $200
Also some ING stuff that is small - I think open account with at least 250 and get a $50 bonus in 50 days

I did the chase freedom thing when freedom firsttt came out years ago. I think back then it was $200 not sure but yea used my 1 time with freedom.
I bank with chase and generally don't know about much promotions outside of chase. Did a $5k savings account transfer which got me free $100.
Thats about it. I am interested in the chase saphire and the citi 500 to get 200 you mentioned. Let me know if you get any further info/link. Will try it once I am back in the states.

Not planning on closing them.
EDIT - Maybe close Saphire before annual fee clicks in.

lol bought time man...I've been doing this for years. slickdeals is a good place to always find these...just click on hotdeals forum and then scroll all the way down and click the finance link. I've gotten 200k airlines miles...enough to fly around the world probably 3 times in the last 2 years without spending anything..along with probably 3k in cash and gift cards...keep an eye on the posts in that finance section..you won't regret it. I'm not sure what you are usually using to find these.

Barely fucks with your credit rating. I close all of mine. I'd have like 20+ if I didn't...plus if you close em and they run a similar promo and you are like a year out or something..you can do it again. You kinda have to close em if you do this forever or youll get denied just because you have so many open with a certain bank...and just overall...plus I will never pay an annual fee..90% of them are waived the first year so I always make sure to close em before that at the latest...
The last Chase united explorer card I got said you had to keep it open for 6 months or they could take the miles back...keep an eye on the terms and conditions I guess..chase just started it and none of the others have yet...but I'm sure they will eventually...though they will probably always warn when you close it anyway.
Have fun credit card whoring.

If you have a United account with even 1 mile you can do this....or a continental account that you transfer 1 mile to united.
Chase United MileagePlus® Explorer Card:50k miles after 1st purchase,up to 60k miles possible(YMMV) - Slickdeals.net
its for 50,000 miles after one purchase..I've already done it.
Like I said in the post above you have to keep it open for 6 months.
