Since United substantially devalued their award chart this past February, Hyatt is now probably the most valuable transfer partner, followed by Korean Airlines and British Airways. Nonetheless, 70k can still get you from North America to North Asia with a free stopover using United miles. Among the other notable features of the card:
Earn
5X points per $1 on the first $50,000 spent in combined purchases at
office supply stores and on cellular phone, landline, internet and cable
TV services each account anniversary year.
Earn 2X points per $1 on the first $50,000 spent in combined purchases
at gas stations and hotel accommodations when purchased directly with
the hotel each account anniversary year.
No foreign transaction fees. - See more at:

Although this is a small business credit card, you don't actually need to own a business to open an account. Simply the thought of opening a business or selling items on eBay qualifies you as a small business. For more info on how you can or may already qualify as a small business, see Million Miller's post.
Per the terms and conditions, this 70k bonus is available to new card members who have not received a bonus within the past 24 months. Although Chase has been generous in matching sign-up bonus offers, there have been repeated reports that they won't match this 70k offer, which doesn't waive the annual fee for the first year, because the previous 50k and 60k offers had the first year's annual fee waived.
Bottom line
This offer won't be available for long and can be pulled anytime by Chase, so apply now before it's too late. If you're one of those where a $5k spending threshold may be difficult to meet, the Points Guy lays out a number of simple techniques for meeting credit card spending requirements.
