In June I managed to earn 24,000 miles (some AA and some NW). That was 4 X $600 max. Unfortunately a month like that is a once a year thing for me. My industry has an annual convention where I'm responsible for entertaining some of our guests. This year happened to be in Chicago, which IMHO is the best iDine town in terms of number of decent restaurants where one could entertain business associates. Had three dinners, one of which I split the bill between two different cards.
If only every month could be that way
