About Airline Rewards Credit Cards

Airline rewards credit cards are extremely popular, especially with businessmen / businesswomen who spend a lot of time flying. Many credit card companies offer airline rewards credit cards as an incentive to attract frequent fliers.

When you are looking for an airline rewards credit card you should look for details on annual fees, and whether they are charged. There is typically an annual fee for airline rewards credit cards, especially if they are issued in conjunction with a major airline. If your airline rewards credit card does have an annual fee it is to make the card profitable for the credit card company.

When you make a purchase and earn frequent flier miles your credit card issuer will transfer the airmiles to your airmiles account. The earned airmiles from your airline rewards credit card will be added to the other airmiles in your account. They can be used just like any other airmiles you have already accrued. Typically these can be used for flights, car hire and hotel accomodation.

As a rule of thumb you will generally earn one airmile for every Dollar you spend on your airline rewards credit card. Airmiles earned through purchases with your airline rewards credit card do not expire any faster or slower than airmiles you have accrued from other places or promotions. Generally speaking your airmiles account is kept active as long as you claim your airmiles at least once every 3 years and use them against a flight, car hire or hotel accomodation.

If you have a favourite airline that you travel with frequently you should probably apply for their airlines rewards card - you'll find many on CreditCave.com's airline rewards credit cards section.
