Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Miles - Get Two Airline Cards

For most people who like to fly often and can be somewhat flexible in their travel plans, the Airline Frequent Flyer Card will be the best choice. 

When you apply for your card you will be asked if you want an additional card for your spouse. It's quick and easy, so why not?  Well remember that most airlines are going to give you enough miles for applying for and using the card to get you a round trip domestic ticket.  They do not give you anything for the second card.

So the best thing to do is apply for your cards separately. Many of the Airline Cards waive the Fee the first year. Even if you have to pay the fee it is still a great deal when you consider the price of flying these days.

Once you get your new card, make sure you use it. Most of the Airline cards require that there be a certain amount of activity on the card to get all your bonus miles. Typically this is between 500 and 750 dollars.  And finally, monitor your miles through the airlines web site.

One final thing to remember. Start planning your next vacation.
