I've seen some recent threads on here regarding park tickets and Airmiles (i.e. the blue card), which got me thinking...
I'm planning a family trip to Disneyworld, staying off site, around May 2017 for our tenth anniversary. It's quite a ways away, but it gives me time to start collecting points! It'll be me and the hubby plus his dad (so 3 adults) and our 3 kids (but probably another one by then, so 4 in total).
The goal is to pay for as many of the park tickets and airline tickets as possible with points. We currently collect the (blue card) Airmiles but only have accumulated maybe 1400 points. We also collect Choice Rewards points with our Servus Credit Union MasterCard.
We've been considering getting another credit card (for the points and also on some advice of our financial planner, apparently it's good for lenders to see you banking at more than one institution...). What credit card is the best for collecting points to get us there/get park tickets. We're flying out of Edmonton, so the flight to Orlando is quite pricey (currently we'd be looking at around $3k for flights (or it looks like around 4500 airmiles/pp plus taxes).
We shop mostly at Superstore for groceries, so our Airmiles are accumulating pretty slowly, we rarely go to Safeway or other places that award Airmiles. I've heard of others using Aeroplan. How do you get those?
Any tips on longterm point collection with the goal being a Disney trip? Thanks!
