Again thanks alot guys for your wonderful responses.

My current situation as of now is to try and earn maximum miles in this trip and may be use it towards future free trips. I figured that planning this just 4 months before my trip is too short. Also as of now my credit history is not that great.

So based on my current situation, I can do one of the 3 things:

1. Chase Sapphire, 50k joining bonus: I can attain the 3 month spening limit if I buy my ticket and prepay my insurance. I also get 2x rewards for travel.

2. CO card, 50k bonus: I heard people are getting bumped to 50k with this card. Spending limit is not an issue for me now. So should I go for the Sapphire card or CO card?


3. Try earning the 225k miles for CitiAA offer. But is this possible with my current credit (its below 700 + I have debts around $13,000).
