In my mind, 100,000 on USAIR + 100,000 on DELTA + 100,000 on UA is NOT 300,000.
(It’s just an example, not specifics or real numbers…)
Is there some way of magically combining these? Am I missing the point? Or the fine print?
If I were trying to accumulate 500K miles, it would be for two business class tickets, together, to Europe, not several different domestic coach fares…no?
100K x 3 is 300K No one said they were all in one program.
And no, you cannot combine them (there are a few exceptions like BA's household acct.).
You need to decide what airline you are going to fly & what they charge for two Business tix to Europe. Then, apply for the cards that will achieve that goal. Two Bus. class tix will only cost you 100K each if you fly US-Europe on AA, as an example. Do some homework on the routing & airlines you want to use and then start applying for the appropriate cards.
