I need to buy plane tickets but my thought was to rack up (AND PAY OFF) the $4000 to get the 50,000 then take advantage of the 2:1 for the next points. OR am I misunderstanding it. After the $4000 will I have 54,000 in my bank (or 58,000 if I bought $4000 in airline tickets in that first 4 months) ???

Thanks

Tim
