In both Citi and AMEX cases, is the strategy to transfer miles from Citi / AMEX to Turkish /ANA and then redeem miles on their website by choosing United flights?
I actually already have citi Premier, are those points the same as points earned with Prestige? Both are called Thankyou points.
Can you pls give a downside of United MileagePlus credit card? Both Citi Prestige and AMEX platinum have very annual fee, even with the transfer credits.
another option I was considering is Chase Sapphire Reserve...
