Fairly new to the CC's, but here is what I have and what I've done over the last 3 months. I'm ready to take this to the next level.
- Myself - SW Chase card (have had for a year), Priority Club Card (received 80k bonus points for signing up
). I use my SW card for literally everything and it shells out about 3,000 to 6,000 points a month. I have Mrs. Chodo use the priority club card for gas and groceries b/c that provides double points.
- Mrs. Chodo - SW Chase Card (received 20k points when shen signed up in July, which greatly pisses me off since it is now at 50k for signing up) that is never used and I will cancel before the next annual fee is charged. She also has an AMEX card for Costco shopping. I don't think she gets any points on that. It has "Costco" on the card if that helps.
We have a friends wedding in May 2012 that will either be in Jamaica or Cabo. I want both of us to fly for free. What should I do? I'm willing for both of us to get a new card to make this happen. Both of us have great credit and neither has been rejected by an application. Although, I don't care about our credit score right now b/c we refinanced and we don't plan to purhcase a new vehicle for a few years.
Also, is there something else I should be using daily other than my SW card? I'm happy with it b/c I've probably gotten 4-6 free round trip flights out of it over the course of the year of owning it and we like to fly SW and travel often.
Lastly, should we have a different AMEX card for Costco purchases to rake in some better point action?
Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
