Mostly - available card churning options , or heck, even options on another CC which is not churnable, but gives nice bonus miles with sign up. I see Alaska air bonus is gone (for now??)

I can start to pick some of my flights on these airlines - but that won't accumulate the miles quickly enough on its own. I simply don't fly that much - only 5-6 times per year.

I've been with Aeroplan for as long as I can remember, but even 16 months ago getting to HNL was easy on United - now, my options seem to come up rouge "business" - and the charges are killer...

I'm just looking for a rough direction to start looking... getting frustrated with trying to use my 480,000 Aeroplan miles...
