Many airlines are aggressively marketing their versions of major credit card programs that offer a variety of benefits to the traveler.
Before you sign on the dotted line, please consider the following in determining the best program for you:
1) Will you likely fly that airline a few times in the upcoming year?
2) What are the benefits promised and are they relevant to your needs?
Adding 50,000 bonus miles is a big plus that may enrich your mileage balance allowing you to take advantage of free flights and upgrades. 50,000 miles is the usual requirement for two domestic tickets, so that's definitely a good start. Some airlines will double your miles when you use the card for certain purchases and allow you and companions free checked baggage as well as Club Passes and priority boarding.
United Airlines Mileage Plus Explorer and Delta SkyMiles cards are the very best right now. The first year membership fee is waived ($95), and you are likely to recoup the cost of the membership the second year even if you use your card for one flight.
