Frequent Flyer Miles Tips

As someone who travels frequently, there are few things I like better than seeing that I have racked up enough frequent flyer miles to get that next flight for free. It’s especially fun when I’ve got the points sitting there and know I can use them to take a vacation. So if you’re someone like me who travels on a regular basis whether it’s for business or pleasure, then you owe it to yourself to be taking advantage of every way you can to get more miles.

For example, do you have a frequent flyer miles card. There are several programs available. For example, American Express and Capital One both offer some pretty nice miles cards. Some are airline specific while others can be used on any airline.

The advantage of using a frequent flyer miles credit card is that you don’t just earn frequent flyer points when you fly, but you also earn frequent flyer miles when you use the credit card to purchase anything. Some cards will give you double points for certain types of purchases but they all give you miles when you buy something.

Here are the best frequent flyer cards I was able to find. I recommend picking the one that’s best for you and applying for that one. (Some cards like the American Express Platinum Card will give you a free domestic flight when you spend just $1,000 on the card in the first so many days – 60 or 90 I think.)

Here are some of the top rated miles and travel rewards cards:
