Frequently Asked Questions about Credit Cards

Can I get a credit card that will give me airline miles?

There are many credit cards that allow you to earn frequent flyer miles when you charge purchases to your card. These credit cards tend to charge annual fees and often impose slightly higher interest rates. If you travel frequently or spend a fairly significant amount of money using your credit card, then a card that rewards you with airline miles may benefit you greatly. If you only use your credit card occasionally, or for less expensive purchases, it will take you a very long time to accumulate enough miles for even a cheap domestic flight. In this case, you would most likely be better off with a different type of rewards card, or a card that does not offer rewards but charges a lower APR and no annual fee.
