If u will carry a balance and pay interest then this game is not right for u. Just like u sAID.
The best use of spending is combining spending to get bonuses from credit card sign ups and maximizing your regular spending. This is why u need to have a plan.
Do u know where u will be living in the USA?

If so figure out this:
Will u only use miles to fly home?
Vacation?
Either way figure out whAt airlines you will take and whAt mileAge program to use. Then tArget those credit cards. As mentioned u will need to take it slow.
