Compareed to the potential savings on a R/T to HNL/OGG/MIA/EWR...well, you get my drift.
If the OP could be guaranteed the 20K bonus miles for the card on or before 11/19, there are still 10K saver awards available for ANC-EUG on May 25.
Thanks for the guidance! WOW! I only fly for pleasure, so have never had 20K miles to utilize. Is there generally a delay in getting miles posted? Should I be calling the credit card company or AS to push for the pre-11/19 posting?
Saving the companion ticket would work well for us, as my wife is from HI and we would like to be able to visit more often. LIH, here we come!
Thank you so much again!
You have just saved me at least $600!
