My wife and I are thinking of a trip to Japan after COVID is all over, and I don't want to fly 16 hours in economy class. I'm looking at some blurbs about churning credit cards to get miles/points and converting them for travel usage. I'm curious about this if it'll help reduce the cost of business-class exit row seats. We've had a United Mileageplus credit card and have around 196,000 miles on it. We didn't fly too often, but we did pay for everything on the card and pay the balance down every month. My wife and I both have great credit but I don't want to go ruining it by chasing after a mileage dragon. Goons, have you churned? If so what was the experience like, good or bad?

Even if it's just two cards? I keep reading about one Amex offer that gives 100,000 miles after X months of spending, which I could easily do without changing habits, then the same for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Do those, transfer the miles to ANA, repeat for my wife, and it's enough for two business class seats. It still seems like one of those things that's too good to be true - yeah, there's two Amex annual fees of $550 each, and two of however much Chase Sapphire Reserve charges, but for the cost and time it seems worth it. Maybe not as a hobby, but to help cut down $17,000 of airfare it seems worth it.
