Also is it possible there's a bit too much aggressiveness in getting bonuses (DH Arrival, for example) at the expense of degrading average-age-of-account?
Marriott: 70K w/min spend of $2K. Will make it work.

Second question: That's a fair assessment. Perhaps the DH Arrival is enough.

We are moving sometime, thought it was going to be in the fall but the DH had to return overseas in July. A while back, we did our house hunting trip out of state and used miles, points, and after the fact, travel redemptions. But, couldn't find a home and couldn't have moved in so quickly, if we had. So, we will have to repeat at that and I want to be prepared with miles, points, and redemption strategies again. Sure beats draining the savings account. Not to mention those trips I make to check on my disabled sister who does not take care of herself well with her medicines.

Thanks for the post.
