1.1% fee = 296.67

43.5 * $2/transaction fee = 87

383.67 in total fees

27353.67 * 1.25 = 34192 BA miles

More importantly, this extra spend would guarantee I reach $30,000 this calendar year and earn a 241 award ticket (otherwise my spend would only be around 15k).

Does my math look right? Is this worth it?

Thanks!
