Hey FlightNurse,

Thank you so much for your reply! Indeed I have a few cards already:
Discover
Citi Dividend
AMEX SPG, BCP
Barclays Arrival
Chase IHG

Since my SPG is from last summer, I may apply for the bus ver after I cancel my card during then. And I might consider apply for an AA card afterwards to get some AA miles.

Since I am still new to my area, I will hold on to the exec AA card now. Once I know more about how I can do MS in my area, I might do that afterwards (given the offer still exist by then)

But yea, thank you so much and I am so excited to get involved in the FT forum!

Peter

Since you are going to be flying OW, then start with Citi AA cards. Do you have any CC now and so what are they?

I would start here at this thread for a 50K AA card.

Then after getting the card wait 8 days after approval (to be on the safe side) and go here. This is to the AA 100K card. If approved and you meet the mim spend you would have 150K AA miles..

AMEX SPG card is a good one to after too. So it all depends on what YOU feel comfortable doing...
