The Importance of Planning a Credit Card Churn - Part 2

Image
This is the second in a series about the importance of planning your credit card applications to maximize the benefits that come with a specific card.  One of the basic premises of earning millions of points and miles is to do so in a manner that benefits the type of travel that you are looking to do. Without a plan for how to use your points and miles, you can waste money fulfilling minimum spending requirements on credit cards that serve no purpose to your specific travel goals.  The first thing that you need to do is to figure out where you want to go.  I like to use real world examples to demonstrate my point, so today I will talk about how I plan for my wife and I to go to Paris and Italy in the Spring of 2014. The first thing I wanted to arrange for our trip was the 1st Class airfare to Europe in lay-flat seats.  There are many airlines that have this product, but in 2012 I signed my wife up for the 100,000 mile Chase British Airways offer.   British Air has what's c

British Airways 100,000 Mile Sign up Offer is Back

Image
About six months ago, both my wife and I applied for and received the Chase British Airways credit card.  The offer came with a 50,000 mile sign up offer with your first $1000 purchase.  With the first $10,000 in spending you were given 25,000 bonus miles and for $20,000 in spending you were given another 25,000 bonus miles totaling 100,000 miles.  As you earn 1.25 Avios/$ spent, after $20,000 spent, you have accumulated 125,000 Avios.  With $30,000 spent, you are given a "Travel Together" ticket that is good for up to 2 years. In about 6 months time, we have accumulated almost 275,000 Avios.  This offer is now back.  The Travel Together ticket is good whether you book your ticket with either cash or miles.  This can be a great savings.  Two people can fly from the US to London in first class for a total of 100,000 miles RT.  The BIG downside of British Airways are their horrendous fuel surcharges.  The "free" tickets could end up costing $1000 each.  That
