It is therefore best to consider what you will use your credit card for before deciding to apply for an air miles reward card.
An airmile is usually worth the equivalent of one mile of free flight, depending on the conditions of the card provider. Some cards offer very attractive bonus miles when you get your card or meet certain criteria; whilst other travel-related rewards, including free travel insurance, hotels and even car hire are also available on some airmile cards
If you pay your credit card bill off in full each month, you may well benefit from an airmiles credit card. However, if you can’t pay off your card in full, the amount you pay in interest may we be more than you earn from your reward scheme on your airmile credit card and you would probably be better off with one of the many other types of credit cards.
