Well, I live in Seattle.
I have a wife and 2 kids and we plan to go to Paris CDG twice a year (Summer + Christmas) using Air France (direct flight).
I would like to pay as less as possible
The wife and I plan to take a credit card with miles to reduce our tickets cost.
We spend around $30k / year on a credit card.
Do you know what is the best credit card/program for my family ?
I saw that Delta has an amex, will it work for this flight ?
thank you very much for your help
If you're locked in to AF flights as you state, then you should compare Delta Skymiles Amex with AF Amex. A big Delta promo with 45k bonus for opening and account ended Dec. 31, 2010-this also offered both personal and business accounts, meaning a couple with good credit coulde get close to 200k miles.
The AF Amex is often overlooked. It's a little quirky-you are billed in Euros and need a French bank account wich hey debit for payment. But dollars charged equal miles and they count for status, or at least they used to.
