Best Credit card for airline miles? Recommendations for a good credit card to accumulate air miles with low fee?
Accumulating is the easy part. Good luck in the distribution aspect! It's never easy to get what you need when you need it. Been there.
You might consider a card that will give you a cash back rebate, and then put those funds in a specific 'travel expenses' account? I believe Discover has one.
I love my American Express miles. You have to book one year in advance but we went to Europe business class on Air France for 90,000 each.
I use my Mileage Plus Visa from United. I always plan ahead and book as soon as the window opens (330 days before the return flight) and I always get great direct flights, good seats and usually fly open jaw as well.
My favourite is British Airways....they had a one week special last November and we are traavelling to Europe for 25,000 points each....regularly 50,000 and even that is still one of the lowest redemptions.
