Need Credit Card for Annual Large Spend
« on: August 05, 2022, 08:03:51 PM »
Hi everyone!
I have all my big spends in the last 3 months of years & now it's time to get 3 new credit cards.
My objective is always airline miles.
All 3 of us have all got the Chase Sapphire within last year.
I prefer Star Alliance transferability.

Do you have any good suggestions?
Also, if anyone ever wants to attend the World Famous Hollywood Magic Castle, plz DM me & I'll send you a pass!
(I'm still waiting on Dan to come back to LA for that...saw him during his seminar in 2013)
Best to you all! ;D
Erik

Ink preferred. 100k UR points for 15k spend.
120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-

Thank you for suggestion.  That's a good option.  I was hoping for more points for that amount of spend if spread out among 3 cards.  Maybe 80K for $5K spend x 3 = 240K points.
I'll keep hunting but have that Ink as viable option.  Thank you again.

Dan has a stickied post on the Main Site for the Citi Premier Card.   80K Citi ThankYou points for spending $4,000 in 3 months.
Click on the main site right sidebar link for the AMEX Platinum. Standard offer is  100K for $15K spend, but I get a targeted offer for 150K for the $15K spend when I click it.

Thanks for the tips.  I've compared the Marriott Bonvoy Business AMEX 125K card for $5k spend in 3 months but that only equates to 54K UAL miles.
The Citi Premier has 80K points w/$4k spend in 3 months.  Those transfer 1:1 to Turkish which is Star Alliance & they don't have fuel surcharge for booking on UAL.
I have 3 family members I'm applying so Citi will give me 240K of miles for easy $12K spend.

Main objective is by far airline miles.
Anyone have other thoughts?
