Which Credit Card for Airline Miles Earnings?
 

I'm looking for the best C.C. to use get some miles and maybe some free flights. I fly mostly American. Any cards out there that are good to rack up points everyday that can be used towards purchasing flights?

I used to have a Chase card. Would give me 1 mile per dollar, with promotions from time to time giving me 2 miles per dollar. Got butt loads of miles with that card.

How many miles have the people on MH370 earned so far?

Pretty big fail post right there. That's not funny. People died. If that was your wife, girlfriend, sister or mother on that flight how'd you feel about someone talking that way? Just saying.

Chase is good for United, not sure which bank does AA.

Citi Platinum AAdvantage, sign-up bonus is 30,000 miles if you spend a certain threshold (I think it's $1000 in the first 3 months).

American Express Starwood, these rack up SPG points, but one of the advantages of SPG is that they can be traded in 1 for 1 for miles with any major airline. The sign-up bonus is 25,000 points after a certain amount of spending as well.

Chase Sapphire Preferred card that earns points that can be traded in 1 for 1 for miles with any major airline. Sign-up bonus is 40,000 points.

Between these three cards, you should rack up 100,000 miles which is usually good for four roundtrips anywhere in the US as long as you get a low redemption rate (not that hard if you plan ahead).

One thing to note, it used to be popular to "churn" these where you would sign-up, cancel, sign-up, cancel, and earn bonuses indefinitely but all lenders are now cracking down. So use your miles wisely. I know I wasted a lot of mine because I considered it "free money" by blowing miles on tickets that I never ended up using.

I have a Capital One Venture card. I get a TON of miles for using it plus there's no foreign transaction fees which is pretty sweet.
