Hey all,
I am really excited with all the talk going in this forum and have read a lot thru the threads. Now to be honest, i do not have any airline cards and have applied for SPG card to get started on the game. I also have become member of all legacy airlines and hopeful of earning miles on future travels with them. I am planning a trip to India along with my wife by the end of the year. Could any one guide me the best possible way to acheive a starter on miles and what card will be ideal for international travel.

i plan to travel thru europe and want to spend 2 ngihts in paris when i take a return flight from India. I guess we can do this extending my stay thru the layover destination.

I currently own a cotsco true earning card which gives 2% on all travel expeses.

i am looking for advice which will give me a headstart for this travel

Thank you.
