You Can Fly More Frequently
With frequent flyer programs, you can fly practically for free!
Sign up for mileage program－You can't gain miles if you don't sign up. Join frequent flyer programs, so you can start to earn those miles. Pick one or two airlines that you use most often and try to accumulate your points either by flying with them or their partners.
Buy gifts and dine out－Most mileage programs have a merchant list where you can register several credit cards and then earn miles for each purchase you make through their participating shops or meal you have at restaurant partners. You're probably doing these things anyway, so why not make it count toward future travel?
Use your credit card－Look for a card that gives you rewards. There are a ton of credit card companies that offer mileage cards that give you miles for each dollar you spend. In fact, you can get a free plane ticket just for signing up and using certain ones. Get a lump of up to 50,000 miles just by charging a minimum amount in the first three months. Use it for bills, groceries, gas and anything else you would normally use your bank account for and then pay it off at the end of the month. It's an easy way to earn miles and can add up really fast.
Rent a car－Whenever you rent a car, you have the choice to include your frequent flyer member number. Some will charge a small sum of fee, but it can be more beneficial to pay less than a dollar a day to earn one or more miles per dollar spent on your rental. If you are a member of the rental club, you can get double benefits by also getting points for your rental.
