Save Some Money, Honey!

I have never signed up for an airline mileage credit card before, but after figuring out that people have been earning free flights by getting airline mileage club credit cards AND getting checked luggage fees waived, I jumped into the fray and got a mileage club card for Delta Airlines. So far, I've earned over 40,000 miles so I'm saving them for a family trip to Disneyland. I want to share with you the basics of earning free flights, too. There is no reason why more of us in Washington can't be one of the lucky ones who score some free flights!

DOIN' IT FOR THE PERKS!

Here are just some of the perks you COULD get when you sign up for an airline mileage credit card:

• Free Flights after redeeming mileage points
• Access to private airport lounges (NOTE: Not all airline mileage cards offer this perk!)
• Discounted Baggage Fees
• Discounted Flight meals and beverages
• Flight insurance coverage on certain flights
• Coupons and other savings by shopping at airline partner retailers
• Global Assistance customer service hotlines

HOW DO AIRLINE CREDIT CARDS WORK?

Most airline credit cards give you a point per dollar spent on certain items, like gas, food, hotels, and various partnered retailers. At given times of the month, you can earn double, sometimes up to 6 times the points at specific partnered locations. After you have accumulated enough points that an individual airline determines, you can trade in those points to cover the cost of a flight! (If you need help boosting your credit score, click here for some potential options or visit your local bank for assistance.)
