Also, Sign up for an American Airlines credit card on your flight home and they will deposit 50,000 miles in your miles account if you spend $3,000 in the first 3 months. Then go back to your Cap1 card. After a year w/o fee on the AA card, cancel it when the renewal fee comes due. We must fight back comrades! --Marblehead
The only way to do it.... It is amazing how fast you can rack up miles/points if you have a little knowledge. You can also purchase points at times that cut your cost way down. Some folks see that minimum spend requirements as unattainable, however services exist that you can pay a small fee to use where you can pay your rent/mortgage, etc. Fly first class for sub coach prices......
