Frequent Flyer Credit Cards are a great way to add miles to your frequent flyer account(s) and earn a free trip faster. Each time you make a purchase, you are awarded miles with the carrier associated with the card.

An example of this type of card is the Platinum Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card, issued by American Express, which allows you to earn miles through Delta Airlines’ Skymiles program. Other airlines with this type of card include Northwest Airlines. See our Air Miles and Travel Rewards Cards page for more specifics about the benefits of each card.

Most Frequent Flyer Credit Cards come with attractive introductory offers. For some cards, the introductory bonus miles or points are enough to qualify for a free ticket—so you essentially get a free trip just for signing up. (Special rules usually apply, so always check the terms of each card.)

While a free trip might seem like enough reason to sign up, there are other important factors to consider when choosing a card. Read on for tips on how to find the card best suited for you.
