Learn how to earn more air miles and travel awards through frequent flyer program tricks. Why pay for cheap tickets when you can fly free?

Credit Card Deals Edit

• American Express, Delta Airlines: Get 2500 miles and no annual fee for the first year, or apply for the business card and get 3000 miles!

• American Express, Starwood Preferred Guest Platinum Optima: Get 1,000 bonus points and no annual fee for the first year ($30 thereafter). Starwood points can be traded for airline points on every major airline (United, Delta, American, etc) with a 1:1 ratio, and if you exchange 20,000 Starwood points for airline points, you get a 5,000 point bonus (so the ratio is really 4:5 -- better than any other card).
