On FlyerTalk, there was an excellent post with a comprehensive listing of good credit card promotions for travel/airline miles. American Express HHonors and American Express SPG seems to have the best deal at the moment. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milesbuzz/973934-consolidated-best-rewards-credit-card-discussion-hugely-comprehensive.html The author’s blog features lots of travel promotions as well. Really good info about the travel industry http://boardingarea.com/blogs/viewfromthewing/
