Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to plan out a trip to MLE from LAX maybe sometime in early 2017. Currently I have Chase Freedom and CSP with 120k points. My fiancee has Amex SPG with around 60k points. I am looking to fly in either J or F for at least the long hauls.

The easiest way I see so far is to accumulate AS miles by signing up for the AS credit card for 25k points + 25k SPG Amex. Then spend and earn til I have 320k for J or 360k for J to book EK from LAX - DXB - MLE - DXB - LAX. Will probably do a stopover at DXB on the way there.

It looks like it'll be pretty difficult to accumulate 360k points for my fiancee and I though. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
