Anyone know if the Frontier MC can be "churned" (get another bonus even if you got the bonus a few years ago and have held the card up till now)? Precious few opportunities for earning 1000's of Frontier miles here in the LAX area that I can see (given that I never stay at Marriott, and am "never" in the Denver area).
I transferred from Amex and it was there within 2 days. I have no experience with either Diners or e-Miles. If Diners is as fast as Amex I would just give it a shot and see whether they show up faster. If things don't work out your worst case option is to buy missing miles. You can only do it in multiples of 1000 and the costs are including their fees :
1000 miles : 36.50$
2000 miles : 58.00$
Might be worth it if your miles don't make it fast enough.
