My husband and I need to be in 3 places at once over a weekend DTW-CIU-ORD-DTW. Flights can be achieved using Delta on regional jets only between DTW-CIU. Flight is in late October.
I have 51767 MR, Chase UR 22297, Delta 22863 Skymiles. Chase doesn't transfer to Delta. I also have 50K BA Avios, 27K Alaska and 100K American.
Known items -
The whole itinerary prices out at 45K Skymiles per person. I know this isn't good value but the personal cost is worth it to me. The Dollar Cost is $~425.
BA doesn't appear to run DTW-ORD.
American might run but that would be 25K skymiles DTW-CIU and 25K? American. Not worth it.
We could drive but would be super tired.
My Delta Amex closes next Friday. I have a 15K limit.
Possible ideas -
I can use AP to get 1K this month.
I can buy Amex GC prior to statement end - 5K*2.
I can generate other spend.
Is there a better flying method that I can take? Are there faster ways to generate the points?
