Frequent flyer miles are awesome. Use them correctly and you’ll save a ton of money on traveling and shopping! While there’s plenty of hacking to be done to get optimal points, most of us can happily accumulate and spend miles without too much thought.
In the airline miles world, you can get points two ways: by signing up for a service through the airline itself or by signing up for a credit card that offers reward miles. Some credit cards work on any airline, while others are for specific airlines only. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Either way, the good news is that you can use both at the same time.
