I have to use a corp card for flights and hotel so no option to earn extra miles with that.
Also staying at Marriott every week Sun-thurs. I have over 100K marriott miles. Should I just start putting my us air FF in for the marriott stays and try to jump up the miles that way?
thanks
Can you get away with creative routing? Instead of PHL to ATL, book PHL to CLT to ATL. It'll cost you a few hours (and the company a couple of extra bucks) but you come out of each trip with 4 segements instead of 2. If you get close to your target near the end of the year, consider an out of pocket segment run on a cheap flight(s).
