Our Verdict

Previous offer was for 65,000 miles but required $10,000 in total spend. Even though this is 5,000 miles less considering the spend requirement is so much smaller I definitely think this is the better deal. This is the best deal we’ve seen as other similar deals still required $8,000 in spend. Most people won’t be eligible due to the 5/24 rule, but with the introduction of the Sapphire 48 rule I’m guessing more and more people are using a 5/24 slot on this card. There is also business offer for 100,000 miles. I’ll be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
