All of it. I ended up going with American Express One because I'm in saving mode these days. It made sense, and the savings account was High-Yield. Good luck with your search!

In addition to what it takes to earn them, you also want to know how many you need to redeem them. <a href="http://www.capitalone.com/creditcards/products/9822/1/faq.php" rel="nofollow">Capital One's FAQ</a> says you can redeem your miles to purchase a ticket for 100x the ticket price, with a minimum price of $150 (so 15,000 miles gets you a $150 ticket). <a href="https://www.thankyounetwork.com/faq.jspx" rel="nofollow">Citi PremierPass's FAQ</a> (buried under Travel Rewards > Am I eligible for fixed flight options for airline tickets) states for 25,000 points, you get a free roundtrip ticket to anywhere in the Continental US, Alaska, and Canada. Since you'll be flying across the country and to Canada, I'd bet you'd have to accumulate a lot more miles with Capital One than points with Citi to get a free trip.
