Hi everyone,

This winter, my family of 5 has 12 days of vacation time to spend - we would like to go to the Middle East, preferably with a stop in Dubai.

We would like to make as much of the trip as possible using miles.

Currently, we have 50K avios, 70K AA, and can open as many credit cards to lead to our goal of spending as little as possible.

Which credit cards should we open?

We were thinking about opening the US airways card (x2), Hyatt card (X2), Club Carlson (X2), 1 AA platinum, 1 AA executive

The total for miles from that would be:
150,000 American Airlines miles + 70,000 from now = 220,000 AA
80,000 US airways
4 free hotel stays at Hyatt
200,000 Marriott reward points


Any advice is appreciated! Are AA miles the way to go?
