Hi All-
Long time time lurker, first time poster. I've really gotten a lot out of the forum, and appreciate it.
I'm trying to use points/miles for 3 people to go to SE Asia (Bangkok/KL/Singapore/Bali) with a stopover in Europe. I'm hoping the itinerary can be:
NYC --> CDG/LON/MAD (Stopover) --> Somewhere in SE Asia (BKK/KL/Singapore/Bali) --> NYC
The peculiar thing about the itinerary is that we're students--we have plenty of time (total trip time: 2 months), but almost no money. My miles balances are:
AA: 5k (but could add 50k w/ Fidelity offer)
DL: 144k
US: 21k
SPG: 74k (but I'd prefer to not convert these, and use them for hotels instead)
I've got a well-paying job after graduation, no loans,and only $10,000 total in revolving credit (1 SPG Amex, never carry balance, credit score 750), so I figure I can apply to 2-3 more cards in addition to the Fidelity offer.
What would be the best cards to get in order to make this a reality? I can also do more deposit/brokerage offers like the Fidelity AA offer.
I REALLY appreciate all the help.
Best,
