Extremely new and would love help!
Hi everyone!
I'm a complete newbie to miles and points wonders. I am having some trouble with deciding what would work best for collecting points and miles for where I live.
I live in Rochester, MN where we have our own airport but we only have United, Delta, and American Airlines.
The next airport over is MSP which has a bigger net but I would rather stick to RST.
I opened up the Chase Sapphire Preferred and almost hit the minimum spending limit. I'm debating on what to do next in order to maximize points and get free or lowered cost flights to the Caribbean and maybe to Europe later on.
Please help!

There is a difference between frequent flying and frequent spending (to get ff miles from credit cards). Frequent spending (for ff miles) is not the same as frequent flying (and earning ff miles).
Most frequent flyer programs have morphed into frequent spender programs
