I'm new to this forum and have been lurking for a while. I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of information that is out there concerning earning airline miles by using your credit card but it seems like a great opportunity if done right.
So, I'll be going back to grad school in the fall and will be paying significant tuition rates (~25k for the year). Ideally I am hoping to travel to London and Istanbul next summer and was planning on putting my tuition costs on a credit card. Now the question is which credit card should I apply for (preferrably one with no annual fees and low APR)? and if you all think this is even a doable feat? I have very very good credit and have always paid my credit card bills on time.
Any input on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
The short answer to your question: get credit cards for the sign up bonuses, not in order to put an actual spend on them if you can't pay full balance every month. And pay your tuition with a check. For which cards go to Mile Buzz and read, read, read...
