Should I put the miles to Montreal on my United Milage plus card-or Aeroplan?
I'd vote for UA. Then you'd have 55k miles with UA. If you have not done so, get a UA VISA for another 15k miles, leaving you with needing only another 10k to reach 80k with a myriad of opportunities to get the add'l 10k (search UA forum for suggestions).
