Cheapest way to book, but also interested in best products to get there.

Are you asking for the best product, or cheapest way to book?

For cheapest you can book SAA on AC or UA for J. it's not.

If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

Its on and off. If you call and push them hard enough they make it appear every so often. Also YQ is basically the same on all except UA but thats 70k. So SQ is as good a transfer as AC from Amex MR.
