Need advice on points/miles
Hello, we're new to FlyerTalk and there's so much to read and absorb. We belong to mainly One Pass and Am Ex., and Priority Club among others but mainly them. We have a small business, we don't travel much(usually once a year to Europe) and because of dieting we stopped going out a lot. Without applying for various cards that offer Bonus miles, what is the best way to accumulate points/miles? Shoud we be sticking mainly with these programs?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to FT, greenbay2!
Fly, stay in hotels, and take advantage of the various programs' partners.
Without knowing a lot more about your life, habits, and desires, there's no way anyone else can answer that.

charge all the business/personal expenses you can.....buy thru your airline of choice web shopping portal....accumulate mi's on an airline which would take y'all to europe on an award.....read the ft forum on your airline and miles buzz and take advantage of any promo's that you see....both of you should have a cc for your airline if there is a good sign up bonus.....good luck...
ps....you sorta excluded cc's in your request, but that seems to be the major avenue for mi accumulation.....
