And that's before even counting the bonus sign up points between $500-$1000 depending on the promo you sign up for. If you're interested in a referral, let me know.
Unless they offer you a sweet retention bonus for year 2 and thereafter, you likely won't breakeven after that. You can possibly get a decent retention bonus with spending...

Wait wait wait...how are you getting $400 of amazon gift cards??? I know how to get $200 in amazon gift cards (in lieu of the $200 airline credit) but how are you getting $400?!?!
EDIT: Isn't it only $400 for the first year? Since the $200 credit is per calendar year, your first year (unless you receive the card on Jan 1), you can use the $200 credit twice.
