You could also points advance that platinum puppy to cover and lock in the ff flight. And the lounge access is good. If honeymooning with baggage, then select AA as the fee reimbursement airline on the card.

if its a Amex Membership Rewards airline then you could sign up for a Plat Card for 50,000 points and transfer to miles (will cost $450 but you also get $200 in flight benefits ... detailed in amex board)

PS Amex has a 40% point bonus to BA. You can trasnfer your miles there and book a flight on AA

And pay BA's hefty fuel surcharge for TATL travel, even when redeeming BA miles for TATL travel on AA. :(

The 75k offers are only for the Visa Signature Platinum card. There are lesser cards which don't have such high criteria but the points payout is less too. Your fiancee could probably get one of these. There used to be a 50k Visa link but I think it got deleted. The worst she could get is a 20k AA Visa or Mastercard. The link will be on your monthly statement or on AA site. Click on "more offers" to get the one for the Gold Cards. Since she has already been rejected, she has to wait over 60 days before trying this. If she simultaneously applies for both cards in different browsers she might be lucky like I was and get them both. This would give her 40k if both come through after you spend $750 on each card.

Then if you have never played Club Bing using that AA account, you can get up to 11,500 over a couple months of playing. There is a huge thread in SPAM forum about this. It's tedious and time consuming though and Bing isn't reliable. Then you can also sign her up for Netflix, and whatever other offers are going at the time.

It's 90 days between Bus. cards. I applied for another personal card a couple months ago and was rejected (previous cardholder). Later that night I applied for the Bus. card and was approved. :) YMMV, of course.

Someone suggested the SPG card and then xferring to airline. 10K miles won't help much. You could get an extra 15K if you spent $15K on the card, however.

But, I agree with poster above who said the OP needs to start looking at available Saver award seats as a first step. Sept. is a busy month.
