Airline Credit Cards
Airline credit cards can be used to earn frequent flier miles and other airline loyalty program rewards. All major airlines in the US have miles-earning credit cards. For every dollar spent, card-holders earn frequent flier miles or rewards points that can be used to purchases airline tickets. Members of a specific airline’s frequent flier program can add the miles earned from credit card purchases to the miles earned from flying. Airline credit cards with no annual fee generally earn 1 mile per dollar. Airline cards with an annual fee (usually $95-$125) have higher earning potential (as high as 5 miles per dollar on certain purchases). Miles earned do not necessarily need to be spent on tickets. Fliers can buy an upgrade to first class or can spend their miles at the airline’s loyalty program partners (such as hotels and rental car agencies).
