Best credit card for travel miles?

I’m at a United hub and the United card offers great discounts on award miles - we saved 75,000 miles per person on business class tix to Japan (x6) the card more than paid for itself even if we never checked bags or used the lounge. My son checked 8 bags when he moved out (I get 3 bags per person). Again paid for the card for at least a few years.

How did you do that? I’ve been watching business class tickets to Japan for many months and the least is 250K miles one way to Tokyo from SFO. I finally gave up and bought the tickets.
