I purchased some fairly expensive items for the home at Lowes through the Ultimate Rewards site because it earns more points. Do you have any recommendations to earn faster without going broke? I'd like to take my girlfriend to Europe next year and fly first class as a surprise. I've been going to the points guy site but do I really have to sign up for a whole bunch of credit cards!? Any help is much appreciated.
A more realistic goal might be to buy one ticket with points and purchase the other one normally. There are often good sales on premium fares throughout the year. Then you would actually earn a bunch of miles on the purchased ticket.
