Travel Credit Card

Even I would love to know more about it. Awaiting response from others Reply to this

I have credit cards affiliated with United and American. I've considered getting a credit card that gives cash, but at this time have decided that if I got cash I would spend it one something other than air fare.

I've always expected my miles to be valued at $.02/mile (25,000 miles for an airfare more than $500). I could usually depend on this exchange for overseas flights. However, I'm finding that with the current low fares (e.g., I just spent $368 for DEN-LHR-JFK which would have cost me at least 60,000 miles or an airfare costing $1200 at $.02/mile), I just pay for the airfare and accrued more miles.

I thought I might use the miles for domestic flights, but I'm finding it difficult to use my miles at the 25,000 for a domestic round trip. It seems with the introduction of Basic Economy fares, the seats that might have gone to frequent flyers are much reduced. The flights where I can use 25,000 miles are for flights that depart at 6 AM or some other inconvenient time. Again, I used cash for Basic Economy.

I'm almost at the point where I will cancel my airline credit cards in favor of a credit card that provides at least $.02 per dollar spent. I really don't want to play the game of cancelling a card, waiting for two years, and reapplying for a new card where I receive 50,000 miles for doing so. Reply to this
