As of today, according to the AA site, it will cost 85,000 miles for the two round trip tickets. This credit card will get me 70k, and would i have to pay the rest in cash or is it possible to use my Chase rewards points to cover the difference?

Why is this the case?
i actually let Amex set up my Hilton honors account since I didn’t have a number to provide when opening the credit card. Would you explain to me why it’s better that I set up my own account in the future?

thank you for all your help and detailed explanation

and thank you for finding me that nice welcome offer card!
