Hi there,

4 Return Flights to Japan is the question. All paid in cash, no point conversions on this one. But I’ve just had a Platinum Credit Card, so have £200 credit on it too. So what’s best to do here?

I personally am quite happy to sit on my own if the answer is buy 1 via Amex then the other 3 with BA etc.

Looking for maximisation of points etc while getting the £200 credit of course.

Thanks all.

How long did it take you to get the £200. I got the 60k MR points near enough instantly but no sign yet of £200 AMEX travel credit.
