I know the Alaska card only yields 25k and can supposedly be churnable but that would still take 9 months for one ticket if they in fact approved it each time. For a little more info I'd be flying out of JFK most likely but my home airport is BDL.
I went to Reykjavik for spring break a couple years back and I bought a revenue fare on Icelandair.
The best reason to do this is because you get a free stopover in Iceland with continued travel to over 20 destninations in Europe.
I did Iceland and Stockholm for just over $700 R/T.
I thought it was worth it.
Not a bad deal.
