1) I charge approximately $100,000/year on a credit card I use for my business.
2) My home base is MKE.
3) I fly approximately 6 - 9 X /year from MKE to RSW.
4) I anticipate more overseas travel in the next 5 years for work and pleasure.
5) Currently enrolled in FF programs for DL, UA, AA, and FL.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
As you probably already know, until November, AirTran has a nonstop MKE-RSW.
And AirTran/Southwest miles are easy to use.
Most people on here don't seem to like Southwest or AirTran, but nonstops are nice, you will quickly earn enough for a free trip, and you can use the points on Southwest or AirTran, to fly to AirTran destinations in the caribbean.
For your credit card spend, I would go for Ultimate Rewards points due to flexibility.
