60K - 110K American Airline Points | $0-2500 spend | $0 annual fee for year 1
60k points - AAdvantage World Elite Mastercard from Barclays. Just for opening the card, and making a single purchase, you will earn 60,000 American Airlines miles. The card's $99 annual fee is even waived in your first year of card membership.

50K points - This card currently has a welcome offer bonus to earn 50,000 AAdvantage Miles after spending $2,500 within the three months of card membership. And the card's $99 annual fee is also waived for the first year of card membership.

Put these two cards together, and spend just $2,500 on the other (the Citi Platinum Select World Elite card) in the first three months. Bam: You've got 110,000 American Airlines miles. All without paying an annual fee in your first year.
That's an easier (and cheaper) path to pile up more than 100,000 miles than you'll find with almost any other airline. Of course, it requires opening two credit cards and responsibly meeting the minimum spending requirement

I got 400K Amex membership rewards last year just from the Resy sign up bonus and 10X dining and small business for example
I'm pretty sure Barclays combines the 2 hard pulls into 1 hard pull cause it was in the same day. That is why i tried it and surprisingly it worked. That is 140K points for 1 hard pull. Amazing. JAL biz class is great way to spend them.

You can typically buy 4-6x as many economy flights for what a business class ticket costs. The value is always in a business award.
Two card signups should net a bigger yield than a measly 110K. You shouldn't do this unless you have a specific use case in mind.
These sort of poor deals get "promoted" as CC signups earn big affiliate $. The financial incentive tied to driving a sign up will prevent most websites (sd, blogs, nerdwallet etc) from noting a CC bonus sucks, because they will earn $50-200+ when you sign up.
one of the better sites (w/o affiliate linking shill posts) = drofcredit, for any interested
as an aside for any with miles- AA was running R/T to Chile for 40K this week, which was quite rare.
I've def done that with delta branded cards

As someone who's already got all the chase cards I could want for now, I don't mind. I stick with CUR and cashback amex. So it's really dependent upon the individual
Readers should know the "game" is to maximize sign on bonus points as the airlines will keep devaluing points and you'll need more to take that free trip you want.
Citi's AA card often gives 80k points, and is the 'standard' amount of points to expect for AA cards from one CC. The 80K Barclays is a standard/decent deal.

I don't think it matters what's worth it or not to you. Business class literally takes up like six economy class seats like physically takes up that much room. I've flown business class quite a few times. It's extremely worth it, especially on the way home from Asia back to America. That is where I get the most jet lag. That is the roughest flight. But I've also flown it from San Francisco to Singapore and it's flat out amazing. I've never paid the dollar amount. It's always been with miles redeeming. And that's my point. Using miles to redeem for business class is an extremely good deal. You cannot fight it at all. You're literally physically taking up like six economy class seats for less than half the amount of miles more.
