American Express is at it again with their quarterly 75,000 point sign-up bonus.  Terms and conditions are the same, requiring $10,000 in spending within the first 4 months of card membership.  If you can meet the spending threshold, apply for it as this is easily the best credit card sign-up bonus available.

Amex Membership Rewards points are especially useful for British Airways Avios points, which carry the best redemption value for short-haul nonstop award flights with partner carriers.  ANA has a lucrative award chart and is also a great points transfer partner since they eliminated fuel surcharges for international award flights on United and US Airways.  Remember that this card is restricted to new members only, which Amex defines as applicants who have NOT held this product or any other Business Gold, Green or Platinum Card account within the last 12 months.
