An Introduction To Airlines Miles Credit Cards

By Elijah Bitson

You may have noticed regular advertisements for airlines miles credit cards and been somewhat confused by them. It's OK, so many people do not understand the idea of these crazy sounding credit cards but there is no need to worry. Help is finally at hand and we are going to show you how these cards work and why you need to get one.

There are so many airlines these days that it is hard to be loyal to just one of them. We usually just pop on the internet, look for the cheapest flight and jump on it. How many of us really stay with the same airline even if it means paying a few hundred dollars more? These airlines miles credit cards are a great way to try and get back some of that loyalty that the companies have lost with the takeover of budget airlines.

The fundamental way, in which these cards work is that you use your credit card for purchases, regardless of how big or small, and for a set amount that you spend on that credit card, you get a particular amount of air miles back that you may redeem for flights after you have earned enough.

It's simple really - the airlines benefit from it, the customer benefits from it, everyone is happy! It doesn't matter if you spend $50 on groceries or $ 3000 on a new television; you are going to get a free flight eventually when you have mounted enough of the air miles.

With some airlines miles credit cards you can even spend the air miles that you have earned on hotels, care hire and many other things which means once you have earned enough, you can practically get a vacation for free wherever you want. There will be terms and conditions of course but you can always check these out and then pick the best destination for you.

The idea behind these airlines miles credit cards might sound a little nuts but actually they work so well for the company behind them and you as the valued customer. You very rarely get anything free of charge these days and although you do have to spend on your credit card to get the air miles, at the end of the day you were going to spend the money in the first place so why not have some great benefits out of it? You never know where your credit card could end up taking you!
