16K miles will be around $900-1000 RT. If you can't afford it, it's kinda case closed.

No way. Benefits of 1K aren't worth that kinda money...

I think that you can also buy miles

Buying miles is expensive as hell. I'm doing a mileage run but make sure to check the fare classes.

@A1- Can't afford that long trip... wrt to time and money

Agree with BCG. Only worth it if you actually want to go on a trip

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
