Have about 28k AA miles and 27k UA miles. I’m going to be flying UA to qualify for Premier Gold for the foreseeable future — already booked flights for 2019 to requalify.
I just met the required spend for biz AA Citi card, should get 75k AA miles.
I have some spending to charge in the next several months.
my options are:
1. Biz UA Explorer from Chase, 75k miles
2. Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select, 60k miles
3. Chase Biz Unlimited for 50k UR points. I have Sapphire Reserve so I can transfer.
If if I do AA, I should have about 160k miles. I’ve redeemed a J award to SYD from the Bay Area a couple of years ago. Their TATL award availability is horrible so I guess I’d look for another award to Oceania (very hard if not impossible) or TPAC. I know CX awards don’t show up on aa.com but supposedly availability is decent if you call?
