Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I am interested in collecting mileage. I forgot that I am signed up with the AA program. Unfortunately I have no miles and as I wrote before I have 30.8k with US Air. I used to go on USA a lot but now it's what ever carrier is appropriate for the trip. I am going to New Zealand, probably on ANZ, this year and Europe or S. America next year. On average I would say my traveling will be one big trip outside the U.S. and two small trips in the U.S. per year.
My original question was which mileage credit card to get. I have an Amex Gold BUS. Rewards, Amex Plat. Bus. Rebate and B of A MC and Visa Cards (no miles or rewards.) Even though I stay mostly at timeshares and B&B's most people on Flyertalk have recommended the Starwood Preferred Guest Card. What's your take on it? Some people say it's a sin to convert Starpoints to miles. Do you prefer a different one for mileage? You mentioned getting a cash back card. Do you have any in mind?
I know this is for a different forum but I'm trying to figure out the best airline to NZ, ANZ has the lowest fare right now, so that I can get the most miles when I convert them to USA miles. As I said before I want to jack up that 30k figure. Also the best plane 747 or 777.
