Best Airline Credit Card

I want to earn miles, of course, but what's my best option? Who out there loves their airline credit card?

The one travel rewards card I'm particularly fond of is the American Express Blue Sky card. It earns a guaranteed 1.33% toward travel on all spending. And its earnings can be applied to any airline, any hotel, any vehicle renter, etc.

If you're not opposed to taking your earnings as cash (which of course can be applied to travel : ) ), other good options open up such as the AmEx Blue Cash card and the Chase Freedom card.

An easy way to see which rewards card will pay you the most for your spending profile is this rewards calculator:

Note that the tool converts all earnings currencies (frequent flyer miles, points, cash back, etc.) into dollars so you can do an apples-to-applies comparison.

At www.creditagogo.com you can get some of the best airline miles credit cards. Just take a look and click on the miles credit card you want.

My husband is in the Airforce and i always have to buy expensive tickets for him to come back home on leave. I thought it would better to get a Airline credit card so that we can rack up some frequent flyer miles. Which is the best one?

It depends on what airline he uses. I use Delta, and have a Delta American Express card for just about everything, including gasoline purchases. If he uses Continental or Northwest he will get Delta miles on the trips and extra miles from the ticket purchase, and can get extra miles from things like check-in at home. Offers change, but I rack up a lot of miles from non-airline purchases. Be certain to sign in to the Delta Frequent Flyer program, and put that on the NW or CO tickets.

Hi. I currently have the Delta Gold American Express card. And being in Los Angeles, I noticed Delta isn't the best airline to book out of LAX. So want to switch to another card. I was looking at both The CONTINENTAL Airlines One Pass Mastercard. And the new VIRGIN ATLANTIC American Express. Does anyone have these cards to tell me about their experience?

I spend about $3000 a month with my card. Paying it off completely each month, fyi.

Have you considered the : Citi® Platinum Select® / AAdvantage® World Card where you get 25,000 Miles after you sign up and spend $750 within 4 months? That's a roundrip ticket in the US.

I know some airlines offer points for signing up... which one offers the best deal? and no black out dates? I've heard awful things about United/America West... any other ideas?

American Express.

You can transfer your miles (which you earn per dollar you spend) to any airline at any time.

Bank of America (US Airways) is offering a promotion right now where you get 25,000 miles on your first purchase, regardless of the amount. After that, you get 1 mile per dollar when you pay your balance in full.

Capitol One is the worst. You get a ticket after you spend $20,000 or something on the card.

I do not understand how this works. I know some companies have restrictions on airline miles. Can someone tell me from experience which credit card is the best to use. I would like a company that gives the best deal on their airline miles and or is flexible on their miles (i.e. where you can travel, etc..). Thank you.

The best airline miles card is Discover this card has no restrictions on when you could use them plus you could you use your miles for other free stuff, check out www.fastcreditcardapprovals.com under reward cards.
