Okay, so first post here - and in any travel forum really. I've been stalking Reddit/forums for a few weeks now - haven't reached the point of MS or anything and am still charging only legitimate spends to my cards to earn points (yes, super noob).
I thought this would be a good way to join and say hi, while also getting a little help. So Hi! Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
1. What route are you looking for?
ORD - Hawaii (no preference for an island, but recommendations are welcome)
2. What dates do you want to travel (mention how flexible you are)?
5 days anytime around Dec 13, 2016. Would like to be there on the 13th (anniversary).
3. Do you want to fly first, business, or coach? (maybe also "are you willing to fly coach for a positioning flight")
No preference. Coach, to save on points/miles maybe?
4. How many passengers?
Two
5. How many points do you have, in which programs?
UR - 220,000
TYP - 50,000 (working towards it. Should have it by August)
Hilton HHonors - 75,000 (working towards it. Should have it by August)
AA - 13,000 / 12,000 (Points in my wife's and my account)
At this point, I can't apply for any new cards because I have a new mortgage coming in. I applied for the Prestige and Amex Hilton after asking my loan officer if it would affect my mortgage any and he said it should be fine. I'm also open to a some amount of OOP expense because I don't want to use up ALL my points/miles.
Thanks very much in advance!
