Ok that's the challenge. I need to revamp my system.

Former:
UA exclusive flyer (2P), MP CC super easy.

Current:
Should be pushing 50k flight miles a year, switched as much as possible personal spending to Starwood Amex. Still using MP visa for vendors that do not accept Amex. Will be happy to begin flying on a new carrier (which may end up being necessary anyway.)

Future: Have just incorporated and need a "Business" Card. Ultimately want to capture all business "miles/points" for personal use.

Situation:
Business Travel SFO-NRT 4X a year.
I'm an owner of the company and call the shots in terms of MR approval, etc.
Attorney says using a CC without my company name on it (aka a second Amex personal *wood) is not a good idea.

Observations:
Don't want to waste time on MP if UA sinks. AA doesn't seem anymore solid than UA.
MR has a crummy conversion to *wood plus I need a backup visa or MC for the business because Amex is not always accepted.

And yes, I've searched and searched and as a matter of fact read most all of the posts in the Amex/MC/Visa forums. I've posted in Buzz because my topic/concept is a total solution.

Love to hear any suggestions/schemes/strategies that anyone would like to contribute.

Thanks in advance,

Scho
