Earn Free Travel With Miles Cards

Posted in Advice, Simple Tip by daryl on the October 23rd, 2007

If you travel regularly for business or pleasure, make your miles work for you by signing up for miles cards for the airlines you use. They cost nothing to sign up and once you earn enough miles, your loyalty is rewarded with free flight vouchers and ticket upgrades. I travel about 7 or 8 times a year for work so I should earn enough miles for a free domestic flight fairly quickly. I signed up for Continental OnePass, United Mileage Plus, and Southwest Rapid Rewards. Some airlines give you an automatic number of miles when you sign up as an incentive. Continental gives you a minimum of 500 miles for every flight you take. Southwest gives you a travel voucher for flying 8 times in a 2-year period which isn’t that much if you travel regularly for work. So sign up for for mileage rewards cards, pack your bags and rack up those miles for free travel perks and vouchers.

    Glad to hear about the minimum for Continental. Keep in mind that United miles expire after 18 months. If you don’t have enough for a flight, get a hotel room or buy some clothes with expiring miles.
