More business trips coming up!

After my business trip to Europe in September, I had two more trips, one to Milpitas, CA in October and one to Taipei this month. I've already had 6 business trips this year, but I got one more coming up next month to Japan and Korea. Also, I have to attend the CES show in Las Vegas in January 2008, and another trip to Japan is tentatively scheduled in March.

I don't mind all these trips, but I've come to dislike the long flights. The only thing that's good about the flights is that I get a lot of mileage added to my accounts. This year, I've flown over 50,000 miles on United alone, so I've gained the Premier Executive status. With this status, I get 100% mileage bonuses on all flights I fly. Also, I get to enjoy the luxury of any Star Alliance lounge on international flights. Now that I got United and Star Alliance covered, I'm trying to get some American and oneworld miles. Basically, I'm using my AA credit card on most of the purchases I make until I have to cancel the account when my annual-fee-free first year is over. Then, I will switch to my Delta credit card.
