Credit Card Frequent Flyers

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

We love our frequent flyer credit cards, and with good reason. Frequent flyer credit cards are designed specifically to reward people with travel by spending money on anything. Business travelers have long been cashing in on their free frequent flyer points and enjoying the other travel perks and benefits offered by frequent flyer credit cards.

If you spend money on travel but have yet to treat yourself to the benefits of a airline credit card, there is no better time to shop for one than right now. Airlines have partnered with Australian banks and credit card companies to develop a wide range of  frequent flyer point credit cards, making it easy for you to find the card that gives you more of what you want.

Frequent flyer credit cards are a great way to earn rewards points. Use your frequent flyer credit card to pay for everything, earn frequent flyer points for every dollar you spend, enjoy the security of purchase protection and customer service, and leave the cash, checkbooks and traveler’s checks at home. Carry just one great frequent flyer credit card and you are covered for all purchases, contingencies, emergencies, and cash advances.

And many airline credit cards offer benefits in addition to frequent flyer points. The Citibank Emirates Credit Card, for example, offers 1.5 frequent flyer points for every dollar spent, private chauffeur service to and from Australian airports, a low interest rate of 4.90% on balance transfers for the lifetime of the balance, and a very low annual fee (for a frequent flyer card) of only $65.

The ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa gives you a 2.9% APR on balance transfers for one year, in addition to 1 frequent flyer point per dollar spent, up to $1,500 every month. After that, you still receive 1 point for every $2 spent, up to $5,000 per month, in addition to unlimited bonus points. An APR of 17.99%, lower than most airline credit cards, affordable annual fee of $95, and up to 3 additional cards on which to earn points, make the ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa a card the whole family can use and enjoy. And with the ANZ Falcon security system, all cards on your account are monitored around the clock.

Do you want instant gratification? The AMEX Qantas Premium Credit Card gives you up to 7,000 bonus frequent flyer points with your very first purchase. Thereafter, Australian consumers earn a generous 2.25 frequent flyer points for every dollar spent on Qantas products, and 1.25 frequent flyer points for every dollar spent everywhere else. Points are automatically transferred to your frequent flyer account every month, making the annual fee of $249 a worthwhile investment if you travel often.

If you want an airline credit card with no annual fee, the AMEX Blue Sky Credit Card is for you. Earn 1 point for every dollar you spend with this frequent flyer card and get the freedom to book your own flights, hotels, car rentals and cruises wherever and whenever you chose. Together with automatic travel insurance, car rental insurance and worldwide travel assistance, the AMEX Blue Sky Credit Card is the perfect card for holiday and vacation travel.
