Hi guys,

I have been a long term lurker on here really enjoy the website, I suppose right about now is a good time to post. I finish my University studies in little over a month and am beginning my travel plans post graduation. I live in the UK but would love to travel before starting a grad job in London.

I am looking to travel to the States to do some travel and visiting of family and I am also considering a round the world ticket (I was born in Hong Kong and would love to check it out since I have not been back since leaving in 97). I figured this is a good time to start earning miles. I would be travelling in Y. However, I have seen deals with Credit Cards, especially the bmi Amex which does not require a minimum salary. These offer points for joining and money spent on travel etc.

Anyone got any good tips or done anything similar?

Thanks,
James
