Do you have a GOOD frequent flyer miles credit card?

If so, which one? Have you gotten use out of your points, and is it easy to use your points? (or are there tons of stupid blackout dates?)

Re: Do you have a GOOD frequent flyer miles credit card?

GREAT question!!!!
I am looking into this as well, but don't know which one is the 'best'.

Re: Do you have a GOOD frequent flyer miles credit card?

I love my Amex, and I get double points when I use it at drug stores, supermarkets, gas stations and when I pay my wireless phone bill with it. I wouldn't have a vacation each year without it.

Which Amex, the green card?

Re: Do you have a GOOD frequent flyer miles credit card?

We have the Capital One Go Miles Visa. We haven't redeemed anything yet but already have almost 20,000 miles.

If you carry a balance this may not be a great card though because the interest rate isn't very low. We pay it in full so that doesn't affect us but we use it for everything to earn as many miles as we can.

Yeah, I've been doing a lot of research and none of the good cards have low interest rates.
DH and I pay off our debt monthly so that wouldn't be a big deal. We could have a 0% APR card for purchases that we don't think we could pay off, and then a miles card that we definately would pay off monthly, like the Amex Preferred Rewards Green Card. The annual fee is kinda high though - $110!

Re: Do you have a GOOD frequent flyer miles credit card?

I am really happy with mine - it's the American Airlines Mastercard. I think the fee is $50 a year. We're getting a free night at the Barcelona Hilton for the honeymoon just from miles. And AA, IMO, has the best miles program in general. Delta's is so difficult to actually get a ticket on and have few partners to both earn and use the miles with.

I have an Amex card and it has a great rewards system. I have heard that citiadvantage is another great rewards card. I'm thinking of opening one too.
