I travel about 15,000 miles per year so I'm probably looking to add just enough to give me a basic ticket every 18 months or so.

10k miles every 18 months? There's some here who do that weekly. Get with the program!

If it's every 18 months, apply for a Citi AA account. $750 spend for 25k miles. Then tear up the card, and close the account after 6 months.

Yet you can't stop at just one. It's a slippery slope...
