Based out of New York City (LGA, JFK). Go to LAX, and international (BOM, IST) few times a year.
Which is the best credit card loyalty program out there?
What I have right now:
United MileagePlus: ~17,000
Mariott Rewards: ~51,000
Emirates: ~12,000
I know this is broad but I am looking for an airline that bumps up, has great service, even if it's a little more expensive? I want to use an airline that is a solid legacy airline - and I can build more points faster with a credit card.
Thank you much for your help..
You have a lot to read and learn but I think a great card and airline to start with is United. There is a 55k United mils offer after only 1k spend available and there are a ton of options from NY. You can also consider American which has a couple good cards too. Review the two threads dedicated to the Chase United explorer card and the Citi 50k American Airlines Card
