That is correct. Nobody is disputing that the current BA promo is a 50% bonus. It's 50% whether you do points-to-miles or points-plus-cash-to-miles.

Typically, you get 0.91 FF miles per dollar spent. Under the promo, you get 1.37 BA miles. A 50% bonus...

Wow, that's a lot of stuff to consider. Thanks all for your help and insight. I will definitely look into the SPG and HH cards as well.

Glad it was helpful. Sorry it got somewhat off-track. My bad.
