I know this is blasphemy on this board, but I would like to inject some reality.

If neither you or your fiancé are traveling for a business it will take awhile to earn award/free airline tickets.

There is a nice boost of miles at the onset of getting a credit card and applying for other programs, but unless you will be charging a good amount of $ on the cards, it will take awhile to earn enough miles.

I’m not saying FF miles are a bad thing to persue, just want to temper your expectations.

I would try to earn FF miles, but not make that a focus. For instance, for me personally most of the FF mile earning restaurants are very poor or mediocre at best. So even though I’m earning some miles do I really want to spend the $ for a mediocre meal, I know I don’t.

Your honeymoon trip should be based upon your dreams first, then put your pocketbook into the equation to see what you can do. Maybe the dream honeymoon you are thinking of now, becomes your 10 year anniversary trip.

Just my thoughts, I wish you joy in your upcoming marriage.
