Where can 100,000 bonus points take you? Anywhere! Yep, This is me in Peru at Machu Picchu, all on points. I think I made money on the trip. Amazing. It's not hard but does take some planning and strategy. So here's a tip. When credit cards offer 100,000 bonus points, you need to jump at the offer.
I told you about four great offers and now we have three more. British Airways, Aer Lingus, and Iberia all offer Chase co-branded credit cards and all three are offering 100,000 bonus points right now.
It's a $5,000 minimum spend and a $95 annual fee.
You can use Avios on any of these three airlines plus they are part of the One World Alliance which includes Alaska Airlines and American Airlines. You might think that Avios are the best way to fly to London, but they are actually very handy for short-haul trips anywhere in the world since they calculate points on the actual miles flown.
For example, a flight that is less than 650 miles (San Diego to San Francisco) would cost just 4,000 Avios off-peak.
Use the British Airways website to play around with how to best use Avios. If you use them on Aer Lingus, you can often snag round-trip tickets to Europe from the US for just 26,000 Avios.
