However, if you want to get it by next year, you will have to do all of your spending after December statement. Then you will need to either do real revenue flights to gain points or get points through spending on your 3 credit cards. All of which would need to occur in 2016. Oh wait. You said you got personal premier 2 years ago. If it's been at least 24 months since you received your last bonus, you can cancel the card and reapply for the bonus. You also have the option of trying for the other business card.
