300 k can be reached with 17 YYZ-HKG roundtrips, at $1200 each trip at Chinese TA... it comes to about $20,000

One year Volvo lease is valued at maybe $400 x 12 = $4800

So $4800 bonus for $20,000 spending... 24%, not bad. .... Can AC be this generous? Is my math wrong somewhere?
Your math might be arguable, but your assumptions are all wrong. I spent $90,000 last year and earned 100,000 miles. At that rate I would spend $270,000 to earn 300,000 miles. If you spend $20,000 and I spend $270,000, who do you think would get the Volvo?
