You are all such geniuses!! I was just reading my email and wondering if this was a good value and thought I will go check out flyertalk!! YEAH! you already had discussed this. I did not read the fine print so didn't see the $35.00 transaction fee, and didn't even think about the difference in the bonuses.
I don't fly like I used to but want to go to Europe. Holy cow!, the fares are high! I am in Costa RIca now and it ran $900 RT from LAX on Delta. WAY more than I expected! So, I was thinking buying miles might make sense if I was going to spend the $1500 anyway....
How about if you buy 40,000 miles for $935 and get the full bonus of 12,000 (30%), then purchase another 20,000 miles for $467.50 and get a bonus of 5,000 (25%). With 2 TA fees of $70 total, ... what do you think about doing it that way??
Now, how do you buy a coach ticket and use miles to upgrade to business or first class
I know you know how.....
