Thanks, I looked at the SPG card, but they need something more 1/1 to get miles. Here is how I broke down their spend for a year
1) General Merchandise/Services - $30K - 30K points
2) Gas/Grocery/Drug - 10K - $15K points
----------------------
Total - 45K pts before extra items/bonuses, Amex 1.25 bonus, etc.
The way I see it, they could earn 2 free tickets a year anywhere in NA, and with the sign-up bonuses for CIBC and Amex, they already start with almost enough for 2 tickets.
