-Which forum this post should have gone in!
- The wife will come around once you take her on a First or Business Class international trip...or stay in a fancy hotel.
- If you mean credit card accounts, well, you should open the
Citi AAdvantage 75,000 mile accounts for $4000 spend each within 6 months. That's 300,000 miles between you and the wife if you open 2 Citi AA cards each!
The Chase Sapphire Preferred Card for 50,000 points each after $3,000 in spend is also good since you can transfer these to Hyatt and stay at some really cool hotels.
The SPG Amex card with 10,000 Starpoints after first purchase and 15,000 additional points after spending $15,000 within 6 months.
I would also apply for Chase's Continental Airlines credit cards quickly - especially since Continental Airlines will not be around for much longer. And once Continental Airlines merges with United you could apply for a United card as well!
- Don't forget that you can earn miles for everyday purchases if you shop through an online shopping portal. Check EV Rewards for the best shopping portal.
I wrote a blog post on EV Rewards today.
Hope you earn many more miles today!
