Our family of four is planning a trip to Maui in about a year. Right now we have a Chase United miles card and have enough for one free round trip. We don't travel a whole lot, and we don't travel for business, so that's out. I plan on hanging around this forum and picking up some ideas, but I would appreciate advice on what else we should be doing to bank up miles over the next year or so.

I'd be interested in thoughts on whether we should look into a Hotel linked credit card? Right now we put almost everything on our United card to build up those miles.

I'd be interested in learning about other programs, bonuses, etc... And links to other blogs, sites that have tips too. Thanks and looking forward to learning more!
