Since having good credit is a huge centerpiece in building a robust points and miles strategy, check out this post where wrote about ideas for improving your credit if you don't have a good enough score to qualify for a credit card.
Anyway, this just goes to show that you need to get in on deals while the gettin' is good! I earned over 100,000 Continental miles from signing up for $180 in debit cards (two sets of personal and business cards - each with a 25,000 miles bonus). I wrote about these offers extensively and I know many of you got in the action as well.
While I mourned the loss of the debit option for a quick second, it's on to the next deal for me. That's the way you have to be as a serious points and mile hound!
