Heads up: timeline is tight

3 cards with ~3-month MSRs is a stretch in 5 months. Consider pushing the trip back, dropping to fewer cards, or adding a P2.

Why these cards: For europe, the best programs are Aeroplan, Membership Rewards. Also works: RBC Avion.

Point costs are starting-point estimates based on saver inventory, not live quotes. Actual availability varies by route and season. Amex Canada limits personal approvals to 2 per 90 days.
