I recently signed up for the Soutwest credit card and flew myself and my husband to Alaska from Florida for less than $150 ($99 credit card annual fee and taxes). It was awesome.
Now, I am looking at going to London and not sure I understand how to get such a lucrative deal. I am considering signing up myself and my DH for the Delta SkyMiles card, which will give us 50,000 points each - flights are not out yet for when we want to go (summer 2016), but in May the flights to London are 72,000 points or so. Looks like we would pay a couple hundred to five hundred dollars or so each. That sounds great, but can I do better? Is this the route I should go?
Side note, We will probably sign up for the Barclaycard Arrival Plus™ World Elite MasterCard® for hotels at a later date.
