Benefits of Airline Credit Cards

Posted by Lisa Nichols Sep 2, 2008

A new article outlines some of the best features of the airline credit cards offered by five major U.S. airlines. In general, the more a rewards credit card is used, the bigger the benefit there is for the cardholder. In addition, scooping up exclusive package deals offered by airlines to cardholders only and taking advantage of every opportunity to earn extra miles can help corporate airline rewards cardholders save money on business travel.

Am I 100% pro-airline credit cards, no questions asked? No. I also wrote a counterpoint to the benefits of corporate airlines rewards cards in another article, so you can compare the two points of view and decide for yourself if you want to get a rewards card or if you want to stick with a low interest or zero percent interest credit card.

If you have some big expenses coming up for your business, there are some definite benefits to be had by charging them to your business miles credit card. You can charge everything, reap the rewards, and then hopefully pay off your balance before the interest rate kicks in. But alongside the benefits of these credit cards, there are downfalls too. It’s important to have all the facts before you choose, so you can make the best decision for your business needs.
