I normally fly enough to get elite status, but to get to Executive Platinum level, it is helped by spending on the AA credit card. I have a United card but do not use it as much in order not to split and then get less miles/points on each. Ido not have a Delta card and try to stay away from Delta as they usually ask a ridiculous amount of miles for a free Business class international flight, and I just used up all of my Amex Platinum points for a May trip. Advice is welcome. Thank you.
