Before Getting An Airline Miles Credit Card

When you consider which frequent flier credit card program is best, ask yourself these two questions:
Will I be able to get benefits from the the main airlines in my area?
Which one will earn the quickest tickets with the fewest strings attached?
Airline Sponderd Credit Cards
These cards are for 1 airline. If this airline has main routes out of your airport, then this is a viable option and can be very convenient. These cards are often pretty economical.
Bank Sponsered Credit Cards
These cards normally offer more flexibility, because the miles earned can be used on many airlines rather than just one. If you don’t have a dominant airline in your area, than these cards probably are your best bet. They have other advantages: sometimes the minimum mileage required for travel is lower than with airline-sponsored cards. But these cards usually come with more fine print.
