And interestingly it shows 2 max hits for 21st Century Auto Insurance. 1 for the quote, 1 for getting a policy I assume.

ChronoMed and Select Warranty are not listed currently anywhere in the "Get Miles" pages of US Airways. Nor is TrackitBack but it's currently 20 miles per $1 on trackitback.com/US. Cheapest option is $20 for 400 miles.

At any rate, I've calculated and while it will take several hundred dollars for me, that's worth it for 36 hits and 100K miles. If I still had multiple credit cards or points in more hotel programs it would cost me less. The harder part will be seeing how many I can get for my wife. This definitely better than last year. The max 28 hits earned 50K. 28 hits nets 60K now and if you make it that far there's no reason not to aim for more.
Nice detective work, Burghs! ^

And thanks Johndeere19 for saving it, nice thinking!

I was just making a list of SPG hotels found on our upcoming trip to Spain via MNL, HKG and LHR. We could have put sandwiches on my card and drinks on his. There is no way I can justify $50 for a meal.

I'll be lucky to get us both to 12 hits this time. We're using miles for all the flights and most of the hotels will be free (on points) other than cheap guesthouses in Palawan. I don't know what to do for points.com, I don't have anymore AS or other spare miles to transfer, just PC and AA and I don't think I can just transfer a small amount. E-Miles and E-Rewards are ready to go, can do the 21st Century quote, Thanks Again, have my US Mastercard and can do the cheap shopping ones. Maybe we might rent a car for a day in Tenerife.
