As per your other thread you should be looking to book these 330 days out. That is mid Oct 2016. You are unlikely to get the miles from a credit card sign up by then. Many require $X,XXX spend in the first Y months. Can you afford to spend $$ on the credit card? Consider what is does to your credit score.
