I really appreiciate y'all sharing your experiences. There seem to be so many "nuances" with transferring miles from one to another, getting bonus points/miles, etc. etc.

If it can be/will be an issue getting tickets to Australia, and IF I can get 2 points/miles per dollar on the Capital One card and they reimburse me the purchase price of any ticket I buy (as long as I have the miles to cover the cost) it still seems to me that Capital One may be a better deal.

I will post in one of the airline forums to seek advice from there.

Thanks
Tracy
