Most American Express sign-up offers are only for 25,000 miles after spending $2,000, so this is an exceptionally good offer via creditcards.com. 100K AMEX points can you get far–a business class r/t to Europe through Aeroplan (Star Alliance), Flying Blue or Delta SkyMiles (Sky Team), or British Airways Executive Club (oneworld). Plus travel on Singapore Airlines and a number of other airline and hotel partners.

The annual fee on the card is $450. But you get a lot in return–

$200 airline fee credit per calendar year (so there is $400 right there, even if you cancel the card in one year)
Lounge access with:
- Delta
- Priority Pass
Global Entry fee waiver
Access to the American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts program

In short, this card is a tremendous deal and if your credit will bear it, this is a great card to add to your wallet.

The only American Express card I’ve ever owned is my Delta AMEX card, which quite frankly I haven’t used in three years. But I jumped on this offer and was isntantly approved–
