Recently it raised the AF to $95 (first year free), but added the benefits of no FTF, Boingo hotspot access, free in-room premium wifi on SPG properties, and a 30,000 point bonus. SPG points are regarded as highly valuable as far as the points currencies go and are transferable to airlines as well.
I still haven't been able to get the hotspot access to work properly and have seen a lot of negative reviews on it. Also, be aware that it does not apply to Boingo access in the planes themselves. The card is good, but I'm not sure how much weight I would be on that Boingo internet access because all I see is people complaining about it and I can't get it to work in a major city!

60k offer is gone. RIP
That sucks, but even the 50k offer is a strong contender.

Fair point, although the problem is likely one of Boingo's to solve and not Amex's. Their hotspots are probably too crowded, especially during busy hours. One reason Boingo may have made a deal with Amex could be that their subscriptions are down thanks to the very problems you are describing.
Oh its definetly Boingo's problem, but not being able to connect is still not being able to connect. 
Thanks for the input everyone! Given my current scores, and no inquiries in about a year (give or take a month) what do you think my odds are for either the CSP or TYP? I know Chase generally pulls Experian in my area, but I'm unsure of what Citi pulls. Also, something weird I have noticed: unless all of these credit monitoring services are EXTREMELY slow, Chase did not hard pull any bureau for me. I'm sure they pulled something, but MyFico monitoring, CreditKarma, CreditSesame, and Credit.com have shown no new inquiries since last August. Haha

Pretty sure with chase its number of new accounts in past two years. If you have 5 or more accounts in past two years then you will likely be denied a chase UR card. If you have less than five new accounts in the past two years then you might want to grab the CSP now and get the TYP card later. Honestly I think the prestige card wins out here if you can use its benefits. The airfare credit alone will have you coming out $50 ahead. Between CSP and premier that is going to be closer and more about the points and which partners you prefer etc.
