Maximum rewards, excellent redemption, limitless reward programs
When we look at airline credit cards as a whole, they typically reward you with one airmile per dollar spent. This looks good but when we compare the airmiles redemption prices, thousands of airmiles are needed to make a short trip.
So, unless the airmiles redemption rates are good and there are bonus airmiles available, it could take you a lifetime of reward collection for a free trip.
A good offer would be the Jet Blue Card from American Express ,which has an exchange rate that works in your favor. 200 Award Dollars = 1 TrueBlue Point and 100 TrueBlue points = one round trip flight.
Look for offers like the one from Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card which gives 2,500 bonus miles for adding an additional cardmember* or the offer of United Mileage Plus® Platinum Business Card, which gives 17,500 Bonus Miles and 2 miles for every dollar spent on United purchases - up to an annual cap of 150,000 miles. Yes, you heard it right there is an annual limit with some cards on reward miles. Check them before applying for any airline reward card.
