Where are you based?
How aggressive do you want to be aka how many CC applications do you want?
If you are coming from east coast you already have enough for the both of your to go to Sao Paulo and back using Avios points. I am assuming you applied for the 100k offer?
Is there a particular reason why you chose MileagePlus card as your everyday spend card?
-Thanks. Glad to be here.
-Based out of RDU.
-I would not mind applying for two more cards. I just do not want to mess up my credit too bad by applying for too many cards.
-My wife applied for the Chase BA card, so we are going to get at least 50,000 avios. I was going to apply for it as well so that we will have 100,000 avios combined, but I stopped because I want to get another Chase card-the Sapphire Preferred. Wasn't sure if I could get both and still get the promo. With 50,000 avios, do I have enough to get to Brazil?
-I thought that by chosing the MileagePlus card I could put all my purchases on that card and gain points, or miles, without having to rely on promos. Is there a better card to use for everyday spending? I had been using the Discover Miles and Chase Freedom before I learned about all of this. It was taking forever to accumulate points.
