Hello:

I am about to get nailed with an $11,000 moving bill and want to make sure that I bank the most miles for a future vacation.

Me and my wife want to travel to Amsterdam at some point. Having recently traveled to Thailand in Cathay Pacific business class, I must admit that we were spoiled as hell and would not mind a similar experience again.

Does anyone have any advice on how to fly business class from either IAD or DCA (Washington, DC) to Amersterdam using frequent flyer miles? We are at least 2 years out, so there is plenty of time to plan.

I know the BA trick where we fly to Boston and take Air Lingus to Dublin and connect throughout Europe via RyanAir. However, we want to save that trick for when we travel to Ireland, Scotland and England.

I already have the following cards: Chase Sapphire, Amex SPG, United, Southwest Personal and US Airways. I am looking for a card that offers a solid sign-up bonus.

...

As a follow up question, please help me choose the best personal AND business credit cards. I will be opening a new business in October. If all goes well and actual sales meet or beat projected sales, I should have enough cash flow to bank some serious miles.

Thanks!
