While I don't have a honeymoon planned yet, I'm open to any potential ideas of sign-ups for cards that will provide enough points for offsetting my honeymoon.
I currently have about 100K spg points from past business travel, but not a large volume of airline miles or a large enough chunk of points in hotels for a long & fantastic trip.
I'd love any thoughts on how to maximize that future credit card spend & ideas on how to quickly accumulate points for a summer honeymoon.
Depends on where you want to go for honeymoon. We charged 30K to the BA VISA card and are flying BA First Class ( or the Best business class) with the 2 for 1.
Or, as someone else mentioned,
1) Get a pair of AA visa and amex for you and the wife to be. Get SPG AMEX for the 25K bonus. And fly CX J to asia.
2) Get the United Card and Chase Freedom and Sapphire and fly ANA J to Asia...
Sign up for a pair of Hyatt cards with the 2 free nights after 1000 spend. That is 4 free nights to boot.
100K SPG point can go a long way... If C+P is available, use it.
