This March will be the month where I’ll try to MS enough miles for a trip to Taiwan in June for a family of 4. Our UR and UA miles have been so depleted that currently have a combined 50k UR and 50k UA miles only. Both the wife and I got the United card with 50k bonus recently so, the additional 100k should be fairly easy… Any ideas what the best (lowest cost) way to MS and/or get bonuses for UA/UR miles? I already have Ink and CSP… and recently closed a UA personal card.
1. Grant March 1, 2015 at 9:24 pm
  
  You can always go for a Chase United Club or Business version of the card if you need more United Airlines miles.
  1. Victor March 2, 2015 at 9:18 am
    
    I have the business card already and club doesn’t have any bonus miles, does it? Can we still churn Chase cards like we used to? Or is there a 12-24months waiting period? Any other cards that can give me united miles?
    1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 11:38 am
      
      With Chase, you have to wait 2+ years between the dates when you get the sign up bonus. It doesn’t matter when you closed the card, as long as the card is closed when you apply. United Airlines miles are hard to get, not many good choices other than Chase UR Points.
      1. Hoang March 2, 2015 at 12:01 pm
        
        Is it really true? I closed Chase Sapphire and Marriott last March but I got the bonus almost 2 years so I can apply to get bonus?
      2. Grant March 2, 2015 at 12:22 pm
        
        You need to figure out the exact month you got the sign up bonus then wait at least 2 years from that month to apply for the credit card again. That is what I did with my Chase United Airlines MileagePlus Credit Card.
      3. Victor March 2, 2015 at 5:32 pm
        
        hmm… feels like you have a potential topic to write about… which card is churnable and what is each card’s terms and condition. :)
      4. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:44 pm
        
        Great idea, but Doctor of Credit has a great post about which credit cards are churnable: http://www.doctorofcredit.com/list-of-churnable-credit-cards/

Jay March 1, 2015 at 10:35 pm

I am most looking forward to planning my next app-o-rama in March and MS-ing towards my travel goal to South Asia (Hongkong and Singapore) this November!

Looking forward to visiting some family in Florida this month! Last few years we have had to go during the summer and it has been miserable hot! So we are finally heading down to enjoy the sights when the weather is much more pleasant!!
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:04 am
  
  Florida is tricky to visit, timing is everything. Have a great time with your family!
Natasha March 2, 2015 at 5:26 am

The thing I am looking forward to most is our ten year wedding anniversary. We had a Renaissance/fantasy themed wedding, so to celebrate we are getting a hotel room a couple towns over and going to the Ren Fair. for the weekend. I am so excited I can barely handle it.
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:05 am
  
  Haha, happy ten year anniversary, I hope you have a fairy tale anniversary!

1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:07 am
  
  Dang allergies always ruining spring. I wish you good luck!

Loverofbooks March 2, 2015 at 7:52 am

My most anticipated items/events that I am looking forward to in march is being able to rent a new place with my family! And also the new March release of the new Maria V Snyder book that correlates with the poison study series! I am an avid reader, and am always looking forward to pre ordering and receiving books that I’ve been dying to read!
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:09 am
  
  I hope the new book arrives quickly and that you like/love the new book :)
SSM March 2, 2015 at 9:40 am

1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 11:38 am
  
  Sounds like a fun trip, have a great time in Phoenix!

I’m most looking forward to spending my daughter’s birthday with her! :)
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 11:40 am
  
  Happy birthday to your daughter. Do you have any exciting plans for her birthday?
Ruby March 2, 2015 at 12:04 pm

I’m looking forward to going home to the Philippines (on that crazy cheap Etihad mistake fare), spending a few days on a beach island, stopping over in New York for a few days – and trying to do it all for cheap! (using Arrival+ credits, of course)
Vunda V March 2, 2015 at 12:08 pm

i’m looking forward to all this snow melting, and I’m 6 weeks away from my honey moon to Barcelona!!
Rosie March 2, 2015 at 12:31 pm

I walk most places, and it has been very cold!! I’m looking forward to shedding a few heavy layers of woolies and kicking up my heels like lambs in spring!!
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 12:41 pm
  
  That sounds very nice, hopefully the weather begins to warm up for you and you can enjoy your walks without several heavy layers :)
Laura March 2, 2015 at 12:36 pm

I was looking forward to MSing the spend for my brand new Club Carlson Premier card. After 6 (count them, 6!!) attempts at purchasing a single gift card in 6 different places and having my card rejected, and speaking three times to the fraud department, I’m now looking forward to shutting down the card… even if it means losing out on the points. The best the fraud department could do for me is ask me to wait 60 days, after which they would be able to “push any transaction amount through” (up to my credit limit)… US Bank is a joke. Their fraud settings are SO strict, that I basically can’t make large spending in order to meet the required spend amount to get the bonus points. I’m fuming…. anyone else have this happen to them? It’s my very first card with US Bank, so I get that they don’t have a history on me, but they did grant me a VERY generous credit line… anyhow… I’m looking forward to shutting this one down, and signing up for the Chase Hyatt card. :)
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 12:43 pm
  
  I share your frustration. I am surprised every single time my US Bank FlexPerks or Club Carlson Credit Card purchase goes through. It is a pain to get a hold of US Bank, there are always long wait times, including speaking to their fraud department. I’m sorry you are having such a hard time using your Club Carlson Credit Card.
2. Hoang March 2, 2015 at 4:46 pm
  
  Hi Laura,
  
  Yes indeed they are very strict. what they did to me is sending me the new one this is the second one. It sucks since I have to change the credit card number on all the payees.
E M March 2, 2015 at 12:58 pm

Maxing out the spend requirements on my Prestige card so I can get my sign-up AND retention bonuses!
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 2:58 pm
  
  Haha, that a boy!
Manhar March 2, 2015 at 1:33 pm

Too much to look forward to this month – fixing up my Aunt’s yard for her 80th birthday this coming weekend – then celebrating both 35 years of marriage and my 56th birthday on the Jewel of the Seas later in the month out of San Juan and eating in the last SeaView Cafe on board any Royal Caribbean ship. In between these celebrations we’ll visit our son in law at a car show on Amelia Island for his birthday weekend. There’s a lot of celebrating going on this month. And it will all include 11 nights of stays over 4 visits at 4 different Marriott brand hotels. What a fun way to retain platinum elite status. Did I say FUN? I meant fabulous!
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:34 pm
  
  Wow, sounds like you have a very busy month of travel. Congrats on the birthday and anniversary. Hopefully Marriott gives you some nice rooms during your stay :)
Patrick B. March 2, 2015 at 5:16 pm

I have a trip to Florida planned and as luck has it, I can stay at Hilton and Westin and take advantage of their bonus offer. Nice when it comes together like that
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:37 pm
  
  That sounds fun, glad your travel plans overlap a few hotel promotions.
Jason (@LukeTheSaint) March 2, 2015 at 5:25 pm

Looking forward to the WCC basketball tourney in Vegas… Booked 4* hotel on hotwire for 2 nights for $20.03 TOTAL. Basically just paid the taxes. Will probably transfer Chase UR to Hyatt for one more night for 8K points.
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:42 pm
  
  I’m glad you were able to take advantages of the Hotwire promo. Have a great time at the WCC basketball tournament!
MrDioji March 2, 2015 at 5:27 pm

I am most looking forward to the time change next week. I love the extra hour of daylight in the evenings!

(Hindsight may change this to something I should not have looked forward to, if it throws off my 3-year old’s sleep schedule – I’m still new to this parenting stuff!)
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:42 pm
  
  We all need that extra hour of sleep. I’m sure you soon will be able to adjust after a few days.
Craig March 2, 2015 at 6:03 pm

I’m looking forward to March Madness.
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:46 pm
  
  Excellent, which team are you rooting for?
Ron March 2, 2015 at 6:18 pm

Looking forward to the premium (members only) Travel With Grant posts!
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:47 pm
  
  Haha, I hope that happens in March, but it is up to the tech team at House of Miles to make it a reality. They have their hands full with 80+ bloggers :/
Elaine March 2, 2015 at 8:45 pm

looking forward to some sunshine in NYC!
1. Grant March 2, 2015 at 9:52 pm
  
  You mean you don’t like the snow and cold weather anymore? I hope sunshine comes to NYC soon.
