Table of Contents.If you’re a frequent traveler–for pleasure or business–a great travel rewards credit card is a must-have.

We’ve focused on great cards from some of the nation’s top airlines.We’ll look at just how much the average family could earn with these cards. “Average” is, of course, a bit of a broad term for anything personal finance related.
So we’re using the for 2016 as a proxy.We added up the food, gasoline, entertainment, and apparel categories to come up with an average of about $14,000 in spending per year. We’ll say the family in question spends another $2,000 with their airline of choice. These are the expenses you’re most likely to put through a credit card, so that’s how we’ll calculate potential rewards.Keep in mind that the value of points varies from month to month and depending on what type of travel you’re booking.
We’ll use to estimate the most recent value for each credit card’s points. Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier Credit CardThere’s a reason the is so popular.

Credit Card companies are not warm and fuzzy, they are money making enterprises.
But, as you stated, Citi has never done me wrong. I asked them to waive annual fee this year because I hadn’t used it in a few months.
The employee said to make 5 purchases in 30 days at any price (a dollar 5 times) and they would reimburse me for the 85 dollar fee. I stayed with them and will keep their cards. If you have a bad experience with any card you need to pursue the issue until it is resolved.
They don’t want to lose you. HI-sailorI have NEVER before bothered to post a comment on a story but reading the initial comment basically demanded I do so.I have carried a Citi AAdvantage Gold card for a dozen years.
While credit card companies are never going to be warm and fuzzy, Citi has been consistently reasonable and responsible.In contrast, I used to carry TWO CapitalOne cards (from before I had the Citi card) and had one for 10+ years and the other 5+ years (from memory). Every little thing with the CapitalOne cards turned into a massive hassle. After completing a significant European vacation using one of my CapitalOne cards almost exclusively I found one overcharge on my bill (out of probably 100+ charges) and filed all of the proper work to contest the overcharge. CapitalOne did nothing to support my claim against the vendor and kept piling on interest/penalty fees (I had paid everything BUT the contested charge) and fought with me for ca.
A FULL YEAR before dropping the interest/penalty charges and accepting my version of the bill–which, from memory, was about 85% of the posted billing.After I dropped that card in disgust, years later CapitalOne closed my other card for non-use (which was true, since I was still angry about the massive hassles)–no problem.But here’s the kicker–years later CapitalOne sent me a targeted, individually identified offering for another card. The benefits seemed to make it a worthwhile deal so I said yes. THEN THEY REFUSED ME, citing poor credit (and the only problems I’d ever had was with them) and, in the process, screwing with my existing credit rating.First THEY solicit ME, and then they screw with my credit rating!Best advice I can offer is NEVER deal with CapitalOne–if you do, sooner or later, you’re going to be very sorry.

Things don’t always fit in little tiny boxes. Even if I believed that Delta is the #1 FF program, Delta is USELESS to me, based upon where I live/home airport, and where I fly. Delta has a limited route network out of SFO, and offers very few nonstops to the destinations where I need to be. So, too, Hawaiian. Really???) While I love jetBlue’s MINT, they’re based out of JFK & BOS, and — here, too — the number of nonstop destinations are limited. I’d possibly fly them more if a) they had a broader network, and b) were more affordable on transcontinental flights.Southwest certainly fits.most. of what I need from an airline.
In terms of a route network, United fits too, but they just flat-out suck! (I’ll fly them if I have to — e.g.: the timing of their flight gets me into my destination and a business meeting on time, versus other options which would have me arriving late.) No, I’m sticking with Alaska.

Downloadable Resources Open interactive popup.Since American Airlines created the industry’s first successful1.The first miles-based program, created by Texas International Airlines in 1979, had barely begun when the airline merged with Continental Airlines in 1982.customer-loyalty program, in 1981, almost every carrier has followed suit. Are hugely important: they encourage customers to fly an airline that otherwise might not be their best choice for a trip. And over time, airlines have learned that frequent-flier miles from such programs are a valuable, aspirational currency they can sell to third parties.
The result has been a boom in the number of miles—which has not, however, been balanced by a similar increase in the number of seats that can be redeemed for them. We estimate that more than 30 trillion frequent-flier miles are currently sitting unspent in accounts. That was enough to let almost every airline passenger in the world redeem miles for a free one-way flight in 2017—if miles could be redeemed for trips without restrictions.In fact, outstanding balances of miles are becoming much harder to redeem, so programs created to make customers more loyal actually risk alienating them. In this article, we’ll show how airlines have begun to rethink the way they handle redemptions and suggest some ideas on how they could reengage customers by broadening redemptions further.
Successful airline loyalty programs generate lots of milesAirline customers like miles. Can claim usb device could not detach kernel driver download. Research shows that for certain business travelers, earning them may be the most important decision factor of all.2.“Air travel more accessible in 2017, according to latest air travelers in America report,” Airlines for America, February 20, 2018, airlines.org.At any rate, many business travelers see collecting miles as a perk of the job.
Stories abound of them going out of their way to fly with this or that carrier to earn enough miles to reach its next status tier or to redeem their miles for a dream vacation.The ability to save up miles for such trips is the reason many customers enroll in customer-loyalty programs in the first place. Eighty percent of all miles are redeemed for flights. (In many programs, they can also be redeemed for hotel stays, car rentals, and consumer products.) In a classic program, 20 round-trip economy-class flights from Europe to North America, at a total cost of around $20,000, can earn a passenger enough miles to redeem a first-class ticket that costs $10,000—a payback of 50 percent!

Please email us at:As we have already noted, airlines realize that selling miles can not only make their passengers more loyal but also generate lucrative income streams in its own right. Would you like to learn more about our?First, most passengers redeem points for vacations and therefore want more than a week’s notice. Airlines can find innovative solutions that work both for them and their customers—for instance, redemptions that can be reallocated: fewer miles would be required if you accept being moved to a different flight one day on either side of the current booking, with notification one week out from departure.
Airlines might even offer “multidestination” redemptions; you would know you were going on vacation but not exactly where until a week before departure. Hotels already offer similar innovations, such as srprs.me.11.Liz Boulter, “Destination unknown: The new way to book a mystery holiday,” Guardian, July 31, 2017, theguardian.com.The second challenge of close-in bookings is dilution: allowing customers to redeem miles for a seat they would have been willing to buy with cash. Close-in redemption bookings could be attractive for business travelers, especially owners of small and midsize companies. Certain airlines now actually charge more for these close-in redemptions to discourage them. In our view, airlines should require fewer miles for such bookings.
Frequent Flyer Programs
The risk of dilution is lower than the risk of the displacement resulting from early redemptions. To reduce the possibility of dilution, airlines can add “fences”—for example, redemptions for a relatively low number of miles would be available only if two people traveled together or remained at a destination for more than a week. Move to dynamic redemptionsMost carriers now publish long redemption-value tables that few customers read and fewer understand. More should move away from fixed tables and toward dynamic pricing for redemption seats.
By varying how many miles passengers must redeem for a route, airlines can direct them to less full flights, with a lower risk of displacement: a redemption seat for a certain flight might cost 25,000 miles on Tuesday, say, but 35,000 on Friday. Some carriers now use a basic version of this approach: saver awards for a lower number of miles and premium awards for a higher number of miles but with better availability.12.While saver awards can typically also be booked using partner airlines’ miles, premium awards are usually restricted to members of an airline’s own program.A dynamic version would be even better. Note that this would be different from the “pay with miles” option some carriers have implemented already—an approach that risks showing customers the sky-high numbers of miles needed for redemptions and could therefore damage customer loyalty. Rethink how to price and manage redemption seats internallyAirlines should also change the way they manage redemptions internally. Classically, when an airline’s revenue-management team decides which flights are eligible for redemptions, it applies the same logic it uses to manage revenue tickets. This creates tension: the rewards-program managers clamor for additional redemption inventory, while the revenue team wants to avoid displacement and therefore proceeds with caution.Revenue-management teams should realize that customers not only have different levels of price sensitivity but also behave in different ways for redemptions, on the one hand, and paid flights, on the other.
Revenue teams today generally use the same fences for loyalty and for pricing, such as advance-purchase restrictions, higher fares for one-way travel, and more restricted inventory for direct (as opposed to connecting) flights. These fences separate business from leisure passengers in money-based pricing. We think it would be worth examining whether they really make a significant difference in loyalty redemptions, which relatively few business passengers use. All of the fences have real issues: blocking redemptions on direct flights while encouraging them on connecting flights, for example, makes customers less satisfied and raises costs.A better way to allocate redemption seats would be to open the full inventory to the rewards program, but at variable pricing. In modern revenue-management systems, the “bid price” is the expected revenue from the last seat on a plane. By allowing the rewards program to “buy” seats internally at the bid price, a rewards program pushes customers toward less full flights.
The rewards managers can decide whether the circumstances warrant taking a loss on a seat by allowing it to be redeemed if the miles are worth less than the bid price. Analytics that help companies to understand the total value of each customer can support this approach. Take a more customer-value view of redemptionsBuilding on the previous point, a rewards program is well placed to reveal the total value of customers and thus how much to invest in them.
Innovative programs are starting to offer more valuable customers higher levels of available redemptions. At present, airlines usually implement this idea in a simple way, taking into consideration only a customer’s status tier in the loyalty program. More sophisticated airlines are moving to a better view of total customer value. Passengers who earn 100,000 miles a year through a credit card, for example, may receive high levels of availability even if they remain in the loyalty program’s base tier.13.With very few exceptions, only flying (not credit-card spending) earns miles for status.Airlines can also offer some redemptions at a loss to promote their loyalty programs. One carrier ran “redemption special” flights: all seats to a holiday destination were slated for passengers redeeming miles.14.“Redeem Asia Miles’ first-ever chartered flights!,” Cathay Pacific, asiamiles.com.6.
Become more relaxed about redemptions on partner airlinesAirlines pay each other real money for redemptions. Many therefore restrict them on partner airlines and encourage them on their own flights. Some airlines have been deliberately slow to build online interfaces showing a partner carrier’s full inventory, so passengers must reach the call center to get it.
Even then, many carriers don’t volunteer options on partner airlines without a specific request. A good compromise would be a website showing the availability of redemptions on partner airlines only if the passenger’s airline had no options. In any case, airlines should loosen their policies. The money they pay partner airlines is a fraction of the value their members receive by redeeming flights. It is better for the health of the program—and the company—to encourage all redemptions.
United is a good example of an enlightened carrier in this respect: it shows (online) all partner redemptions. Emirates has taken this idea a step further by introducing a redemption-only partner in easyJet. Shift the mind-set from ‘breakage is good’ to ‘breakage is bad’Some 15 to 30 percent of all airline miles end up unspent and thus expire. This “breakage” is booked directly as profit to the airline. Historically, airlines have welcomed breakage. More advanced carriers are shifting their views.
Expired miles represent a lost opportunity to engage customers. Carriers are starting to lengthen their expiration policies, to remove expirations totally for higher-value customers, and to introduce micro-redemption ranges to encourage more frequent activity. Rethink milesFinally, if miles-based rewards programs irritate customers, airlines should rethink the whole issue of miles. Airline loyalty programs kludge two different things: miles that passengers can redeem for flights, on the one hand, and status levels that confer benefits during flights, on the other. Anecdotally, many travelers, especially higher-value business ones, care more about the perks from the top tier (which different airlines variously call gold, diamond, black, platinum, and so forth) than about collecting hard-to-redeem miles.Why not focus on building a great status program with multiple tiers? For example, “fly five times with us and get priority check-in,” “build up 20 status points and you can enjoy priority boarding,” “get to 100 points and you can access our lounges,” “for each additional 50 points, we will give you an upgrade if space is available.”An airline could even let its passengers choose their benefits—allowing them, in effect, to design their own rewards programs.
Other industries provide inspiration. The Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) Discovery program, for instance, gives higher-tier customers “local experience awards” with benefits such as free camel rides in the desert, boat cruises, spa treatments, Segway tours, day tours, and tastings15.“Discovery: A loyalty programme like no other,” Discovery, discoveryloyalty.com.rather than points. The grocer Waitrose has no points program16.“Enjoy more, starting today,” Waitrose, waitrose.com.but offers shoppers who belong to its myWaitrose loyalty program free coffee and access to special discounts and magazines.At first thought, this approach may seem to jeopardize the lucrative revenue streams from third parties buying miles. But airlines could still innovate by selling higher-tier memberships and status benefits to their credit-card partners.Customer-loyalty programs risk becoming victims of their own expansion.
