Anybody do this on a regular basis to get points for hotel stays or airline miles? What cards/programs do you suggest now? Thinking of the Hilton Program. But SPG has been good to me as we'll.

Churning, as I understand it, is signing up for a credit card, getting miles/points, completing the spending teas, then closing it, all within a few months.

Thanks for the flyer talk site.

Be careful playing that game as it might hit your credit score for opening and closing too many accounts.

Good point, I think you must have a very high credit score to go that route. I confess to having done it a bit in the past. Got 60,00 airline miles, and took a trip to Paris. Used the card on the trip, then closed the account well before the annual fee came due.
