[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here.  We don't travel option, but we are planning a bigger international trip for our family of four next summer, and we hope to travel more in the future.  We have a Chase card and a Bonvoy card.  Is there another card we should open to help us with flights or hotels?   We have great credit and always pay off our cards.  We don't care about traveling first class, just getting the cost of our travel covered with points as much as possible.  Advice?  [/quote]

This depends on the destination and your current mileage balance.[/quote]

To get enough points for award flights for a family of four, I think you will need multiple sign up bonuses. It is possible. DH and I just signed up for separate Chase United Quest cards which will give 230,000 points once we had each met the $4,000 minimum spend and after including referral bonus and authorised user bonuses.  Once you’ve done that, one of you could refer the other for a Chase United Mileage card for 60,000 points plus 10,000 referral bonus. One of you could also sign up for Chase Sapphire and get the 75,000 point bonus (make sure the one with the existing chase card gives a referral to get the bonus). But, as you’ve seen from previous posts, United points aren’t worth as much as they used to be. And you need to figure out how to mitigate the annual fee (eg downgrade the United cards to fee-free Gateway card at month 11). [/quote]
