I guess y'all r right... I will get some good miles at a decent cost. However I use Starwood Amex and the double points is up to 5k... Don't have UA and usually use NW/DL/AA... does it make sense to load the expense all on starwood amex? If you had to charge around 150k of taxes to your credit card how would you do it??
I HATE MILES AND POINTS! they drive you to do things you otherwise wont!
If would be great if I could get double AA miles for it.
That would be 300K toward awards, PLUS 300K toward my 2 Million Mile goal for Lifetime Platinum. 2 MM gets you 4 EVIPS, so consider 300K to be 6/10 of an EVIP (plus the PLT bonuses you will get sooner, if you don't usually qualify for PLT, and the int'l AC club access)
To me, that would be worth 3500
