Help me fly internationally please :)
I have a couple Chase SW CCs (30k credit line) which I applied for about 6 months ago (Just got the discover IT). I have around a 760 on credit karma. I can spend about $500 a month.
I have never used any other CC promotions.
Which CCs can I get so I can fly internationally for free or low cost (I am thinking I need 100k points)?
Thank you so much. Your time is appreciated

Welcome to FT!
If you are not able to charge more than $500/month, you will have a hard time meeting the spend requirements for some of the more lucrative credit-card sign-up bonuses. Check the FT Credit Cards forum for information concerning current offers.

Welcome to FT! You need to "manufacture" some spending them. It's not difficult. See this thread and start reading: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manuf...-spending-719/ It's an eye opener.

If you have an international destination in mind, please specify. Where do you fly out from?

You might want to spend some time reading. There are plenty of threads (or blogs, seems they may be more your speed) covering the cards, their partners, etc. You can't expect us to do all the leg work to get you a trip worth thousands of dollars, if not tens of thousands of dollars. Doing some research is not unreasonable.

Helpmeflyplease- cute name. Don't be intimidated some flyertalkers can come across as a little harsh. Just stick around awhile, you'll get the hang of things!
