So I'm finally taking the dive and have been shopping around for an engagement ring. My budget is around 35-40k. Been going to local jewelers and looking online at Blue Nile and James Allen. So I was thinking, with such a big purchase, what is the best way to earn miles or points? I currently have the Amex Platinum, Amex Blue Cash, and Chase Sapphire. I travel mainly on AA, Delta, Cathay, and British Airways. I love starwood hotels also. Anyone have any good strategies? Thanks for any advice.

Costco too sells expensive diamond rings. You get top quality rings at the best price (since Costco has bulk purchasing power). I suspect an identical $40K ring would be about $36 to $37K at Costco, and you would still get your credit card points.
