Thanks for the comments. I looked through the sites. The presidential coin thing sounds interesting too. Not sure what my banker would think of me coming in with a dolly of coins still rolled up. .

I like the BA credit card, I plan to do it after we buy our house in mid January. If it is still around that is. I dont want to go and have 5 or 10 cards and try to divy out spending across the board. Seems extreme lengths to go for adding 500-1000 miles per month. Maybe it is just me.

Where do I find the promos you are talking about regarding buying the miles for under a cent?
