I think that xpacific means that you could be getting
a lot more miles for expenses that you wouldn't normally incur. I do this through my own business chase card that gives CO miles. But don't even think about doing it with someone else's miles, unless you are ready to become co-owner and deal with the tax implications.
BTW, I think, from what I've learned here, that the Starwood AMEX is the best choice.
