Our Verdict
Recently the targeted sign up bonus has been 70,000 miles + $50 (you can almost always get the extra $50 by doing a dummy booking). This offer is obviously worse, but the upside is that it’s publicly available. Personally I’d wait it out for a 70,000 mile offer, but most people won’t be eligible regardless of the sign up bonus due to the Chase 5/24 rule.  Before applying for this card or asking basic questions regarding Chase credit cards, please read this post first.
