fayraree, one of the things you definitely need to do is read the terms and conditions of the various CCs that you are planning to "churn". For example, your plan on the AMEX Gold will be a problem. Again, Terms and Conditions are your friend.

Also, look at the cost of your "balance transfer" to see if it is really worth the money. There are two issues, the first being that you should NEVER carry a balance on your credit card. Second is the cost of the transfer is probably more than the miles are worth.

There is no one place for strategy. Too many people want to be spoon fed all the information and not contribute to the community. All of your questions have been asked and answered numerous time in various CC threads.

Good luck with your goals.
