Questions and Answers

Hi Lucky,

I really enjoy reading your blog. I am a newbie. My husband and I have a small business. What would be the best way to accumulate points for a trip from Lax to sgn business class? United or American route? 4 credit cards? Which is easier to obtain award tickets for business, Cathay or Eva?

Thank you!

Hello Maria.

Welcome.

Try collecting AA or Alaska miles and fly on Cathay.

I totally agree with [USER=268]@No Name[/USER]
The Citi Biz AA Card has 50K offer. If you get it and meet the spend immediately you are looking at getting the points posted before mid-Feb 2016. With the March 2016 devaluation around the corner, you can lock in your seats at the current chart rate.
