frequent flyer and/or cashback credit cards

[CoccoBill]

Frequent flyer miles are miles accumulated from either flying, using CC, etc. If roundtrip to Vegas is 4k miles (Are you sure?...never seen it that low) then yes you'll have the 6k leftover. You'll still have to pay taxes though which isn't a lot for domestic flights.

I think he meant he's physically 4k miles from Vegas. US internal flights purchased just with miles are typically like 25000 miles return for coach.

Oops sorry! I was going to say most airlines start around 25000 miles for domestic flights.

You're not dumb, Carl, I work in travel and didn't have a clue what anything meant when I started. I now know about 20% of what I need to know...
