Thanks annemargaret. Probably not the best plan for us, then.

Of course you can also use the miles as a cash reward to pay down anything you charge on your account.

You are missing a key factor in your planning. You can book United through Turkish Airlines mileage plan and you can book Delta through Flying Blue. When considering airline miles transfers just don't think of the actual airlines, make sure you consider their alliance members as well.

Phillip and Carol! Merci beaucoup! It's back on the table! Thank you for your information. Husband is now interested. The 8 and 10-year-old grandsons' visits aren't helping our communications. . .

If you can meet the spend to get bonus points, then consider what card(s) you want to get
in terms of which bonuses will help you the most. You could just as easily get a United or
Delta card thru Chase or Amex.

In general, the points from Cap One (they are not the same as miles from the airlines, as
Cap One only give them a cash value when you redeem through them) have the most
worth when you transfer them to a partner, as has been discussed above. Given that,
unless you see a niche as Carol has noted where booking through an alliance partner
is a better deal, getting the miles straight from the airline is probably a more strategic
move if your goal is to get them on a US carrier's plan.
