I've taken advantage of the Citibank Card ($100), the MBNA Schwab card ($150), and The Sony Card ($100). (All of the amounts are in the form of a credit or Visa gift card after a purchase.)
Does anyone know of other credit cards that are offering cash, credit or Visa gift cards for applying and using a new card?
I'm sure an ongoing list would be very helpful to everyone here.
TIA
Chris

Another Citi Card - 10% Cash Back on all purchases for 3 months (up to $100 applied as a statement credit). Not quite as simply as the other offers, but still a decent deal. (Thanks to fotomaniak for suggesting it).
Here are some additional offers fotomaniak found through card offers. None quite as simple as the 1st 3 I listed, but they might be worth a look.
Citi PremierPass card ($110)
$40 bonus from card offers(double bonus with $5 customized report)
Elite level 15000 bonus points, $75 annual fee (you may be able to get a pro rated refund of the annual fee if you close the card, just move the most of the CL to another citi card, before you close this one)
$150GC + $40(cardoffers) - $75(annual fee) - $5(cardoffers report) = $110
"regular" card - 5000 bonus points, $0 annual fee
$50GC+$40(cardoffers) -$5(card offers report)=$85
