I was hoping to get your comments on collecting miles to use for award tickets between Hawaii and Japan.
I would like to hear about your favorite company, how you collect miles, etc. I myself am currently collecting miles with Delta Air Lines Amex Gold, but I am considering doing so after I have used up all my current miles on award tickets.
The reasons for this are
- Delta's Amex Gold annual fee will be $ 100 => $ 150 ( $10,000 spend bonus will increase to $ 100 => $ 200 and new hotel credit $ 100, which is not bad in general ).
- I plan to use my BILT MasterCard to pay rent and accumulate points, but the airlines I can transfer points to are Hawaiian, United, and American Airline in the US.
- My destination is Nagoya, so I will be flying Delta to Haneda > Shinkansen to Nagoya is a bit inconvenient in terms of time ・ and money. On the other hand, it is possible to fly to Nagoya with JAL/Hawaiian.

Based on the above 3 points, I think that if I were to migrate, it would be to Hawaiian ~ ?.
On the other hand, I may continue to use Delta, $ consider the 200 bonus as bullet train fare, or use BILT points as Hawaiian miles for Interisland flights.

With my current Delta card, I have been earning 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year for the last few years.
I think ? the miles I get from purchases are roughly the same if I use the Hawaiian card as my main card.

Recent flights are
- Summer 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL
- Winter 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL, miles earned on Hawaiian
- Summer 2023 : On JAL Purchased direct flight to Nagoya with JAL, mileage credited to Hawaiian
- Winter 2023 : Awarded flight to Haneda with Delta
So, twice a year, I will return home by myself.
Seat is normal economy.

Note that the mileage requirement for a Delta Honolulu Haneda award ticket is roughly 94,000 - 104,0000 miles in Main Cabin economy.
The credit card award gives you 15% off the required miles, so it's actually 80,000 - 88,000 miles.

Of course, I understand that your destination, class of service, and usual mileage accrual are not the same, but
I would be happy to hear your opinions.

昔はUNITEDのマイル会員でマイルでの旅行を楽しんでいましたが、ここ数十年は、マイル数がかなりかかるのと、使えるエアラインの規制もあるので、CAPITAL ONEのトラベルクレジットが付くカードで、その都度、好きなエアラインでチケットを取って、カードの中のマイルでキャッシュバックしてもらっています。

他のクレジットカードでも多分同じようなシステムがあるかも?ですが。。。 各エアラインには、マイルだけ貯めていますが、クレジット機能は付けていません。

情報ありがとうございます。
Capital One、名前は知っておりましたが、付帯の機能は知りませんでした。
その都度、都合の合うエアラインのチケットが買えるのは利点ですね。

マイレージのアカウントとしては、United, JAL, ANA, Hawaiian, Deltaがありますが、
結局、HawaiianとDelta以外は休眠状態です。マイル道を究めるのは、なかなか難しいですね。

私も特定のとはせず、 Chase Sapphire Reserveを使ってます。
旅行によく行く人には1番いいカードと言われているくらいです。
ポイントの溜まりも良く、貯まればいろんな航空会社で予約ができます。
また、priority passが付くので空港のラウンジが使えたりします。
オススメです。、

Chase Sapphire Reserve、初めて聞きました。
年会費は高めですが、特典をしっかり使えば元が取れそうですね。
また一つの航空会社に縛られずに予約が出来るのも良いですね。
さすが色々なクレジット会社さんが、色々なサービスを考えるんですね、
調べだすと沼にハマりそうです。
