I want a credit card that gives me flying miles...

[Keego]

What are my options? I'm a student.. And having an annual rate would suck.

check hot deals. someone posted something the other day ... i think it was with delta.

 

[Keego]

the Delta one had a annual fee :/

 

[gopunk]

yea it was 85 bucks! i'm not aware of any airline cards that don't have an annual fee

 

[Mill]

Get a MBNA Travel Rewards Platinum. No annual fee and min. credit line of 1000.

If you're in an area serviced by CitiBank, they have a "milage" check /debit card (Mastercard logo). SO you're still spending your own cash, but get miles for it. There is an annual charge though: two levels. The cheaper one is one mile for each two dollars spent, the more expensive (annual fee) is one mile per dollar.

They also issuse credit cards with milage on American. Most of the milage cards have some sort of annual fee. You have to decide if it's a better deal to pay US$50.00 a year for the card and get miles, or just pay the $50.00 for the tickets...

Good Luck

Scott

We need to have another Credit Card Deals thread in HD. Are you listening RossMan?

united college plus

i have their visa card - it's only 2 dollars for a mile though. but you can earn a lot of other miles through booking flights and other promos.

too bad i don't fly united as much anymore - they cut back on the flights to san jose so it's harder for me. i'm only like 4000 miles away from a free ticket.

Nope.

Keego - 99% of the frequent flier miles credit cards have both an annual fee AND annual rate.

You have no options since you'll probably be declined unless you can find a student card or get a co-signer.

Which airline do you prefer to fly with?

My friend has a United Visa with no annual fee!. She got it pre-approved in the mail. I really don't understand how she got qualified for it.

Aww com'on, pretty please...................Oh well.

I signed up for United College Plus, I don't plan on buying anything soon (darn) so it'll be a while before I get miles

 

[udonoogen]

i personally like my citicard. doesn't have miles, but citicard has great CS and i'm getting money towards buying a car. i think it's at 2% of everything i spend. pretty decent since i pay all my bills with it.

I heard the Southwest airlines one is considered pretty much the best.
