Quick Q about Purchasing Miles (US Exec Member)
Afternoon all
Just wanted to confirm my reading of the Sticky:
If I interpret it correctly, I can purchase up to 19,000 per year (Jan - Dec) on my account and my GF can also purchase 19,000 for her account which as we have a HHA means we can purchase up to 38,000 as a whole - correct ?
Plus with the extra 25% offer at the mo and the hope that I would also get 2 miles per $ spent on my Chase BA Signature Visa - I calculate the following:
19,000 + 4,750 = 23,750 per Acc = $547.50
23,750 *2 = 47,500 for our HHA = $1,095.00
$1,095.00 * 2 = 2,190
So for an outlay of $1,095 I get 49,690 miles - not fantastic value for straight redemption but enough for pretty much 2 X MFU for WT+ to CW for JFK - LHR flights (going to need at least 3 trips in the next 12 months)
Have I got the calc correct ? any thoughts on if its worth doing ?
Currently I class CW return JFK - LHR running at $2,500+ whilst WT+ MFU running at $1,200+
Any thoughts or advice welcomed
FYI - still hoping the current Ex US offer of a measily $20 off will improve next week - the complimentary ticket offer via BA or the one via the Chase BA are pretty restrictive and expensive
Cheers BBF
