Then it goes from 1-2 sign up bonuses a year to 10-15.
To start off, this is what I would suggest a newbie to do IMO
You are so right! I'm just PO'd at myself that I didn't play this game earlier. Got 300K AA miles this year, plus I'm expecting 275K AMEX MR points, and another 100K to 150K from Fidelity. OH ya, 50K for Sapphire..was too late for the 100K bonus. And I'm a DL elite, so I'll probably do the 100K MR points transfer for the 50% bonus and 25K MQMs. I have been taking advantage of the now dead mint coints for the last 18 months, although at a much slower pace than others like Mr. Pickles.
