thats great! where are you trying to go?

[searchingfor67]

Haven't decided yet, but I'm hoping to build enough points to cover both airfare and hotel...

I see you have a Freedom and CSP, do you have a checking account with Chase aswell?

[searchingfor67]

yes, and the points add up super fast with te 10/10 bonus...

Nice amount of UR points!  

Are you travelling domestically or international?  For domestic, why not get the SW card for 50K sign up for your airfare; or a hotel card for the stay.  This way, you can use your UR points for bolster where you are short some points.

It will more than likely be somewhere in the Carribean...Haven't really considered a SW card, don't like being fenced it. Besides, I already have 3 Chase cards...

I have the same dilemma with too many Chase cards.  Hard to limit since they've got far and away the most generous signup bonuses and some of the best card features out there.

How about Citi's AA for 100k miles?  If you can absorb the inquiries and accounts, this could provide for your flight.
