Airline miles credit cards

Lately we're thinking we need to get a new credit card, one specifically for putting our travel charges on, and where we can get some miles etc to add to our frequent flier programs. It really seems to make sense to sort one's spending out this way, so that we can maximise what we spend by getting something in return, and there's nothing quite like getting a free upgrade to First or Business Class right?

I detest calling credit card companies to find out what they have on offer, since one only gets to talk to someone in a call centre who is not too concerned about the fine print. So I took my search online, and found a site called CreditCardSearchEngine.com, which is supposedly the best place to find the right Credit Card Applications. And bingo, they had credit cards that offered rewards of frequent flyer miles! It really pays to do some research and so now we are going to start making use of all our frequent flier miles and charges for hotels and taxis. With interest rates varying from 10.99% to 18.24%, a good chunk of bonus miles on the first purchase, and lots of other benefits, it really makes sense to use an airline miles credit card with the amount of traveling we do.

Yeah... they are really convenient. I have also one of my credit cards for frequent flying not only because of convenience to pay while travelling but also for opportunity to get bonus miles, save my money on hotel stays, etc

It's a great way to build up on miles and get an upgrade to business or first class!!
