Travel/airline credit cards

Airline mile or frequent-flyer cards give users airline (or frequent flyer) miles credits whenever the card is used. Once enough points are accumulated, users swap them for airline travel. All travel programmes are different; read the card’s terms and conditions to find out how many miles you gain for what you spend. A key consideration is how many miles are needed for a free plane ticket. In addition, find out how soon the miles expire. Because airline mile reward programmes can be costly for credit card companies, many come with an annual fee.
