My girlfriend and I are both into the mileage game and jumped on things like the BA Visa and the AMEX Plat. Now we're flying JFK-HKG-DPS/SIN-NRT-BOS in CX F and JL J next summer. If we mileage run, we try to turn it into a mini-vacation. It's quite awesome to have someone else who understands and enjoys this crazy game. She also more gleefully takes extra connections than I do.
It might also help that we were a long distance couple for quite some time. :) |

Why pick BA when you have to pay YQ on awards?

Wow, man and wife? That would be something..
My wife couldn't care less.. and says I spend too much time trying to get a deal Actually booked a couple of MR for the first time this Jan, wife thinks I am crazy for doing the MR and the amount of time spent working on this. She will probably change her tune when we go on Cathay first to HKG-BKK-SIN this summer. I probably do spend too much time here but as I am new to this, there is always something new to learn. Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge! |

I am with you. I am at the point of obsession.

Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge! Nowadays, I leave some lag room between the time I expect to cancel my cc, and the purchases I make on a particular card.. Some buffer works well, and causes less headache when charging to cards.. My main issue being from Canada, is cc fees. I'll keep the card for almost a year, but when annual fee time comes close.. I work that cost into the back of my mind and cancel the card when I need to, to avoid the annual fee charges.. |
+1 on the man and wife. At one point She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO) and I had road jobs at the same time. That was when buying her Priority Pass membership went down as one of my most thoughtful presents. :p
Better was arranging our itineraries so we could tryst in an airport motels, or attend the same industry conclave. |
