1. Many airlines have a credit card reward program.

Many people pay a yearly fee to have a credit card and get no rewards, or bonuses out of it. Other people who travel a lot stay loyal to one airline company. For both these type of people credit card programs with airline partners are very valuable. There are many airlines that have partnered with credit card companies that give you one mile per dollar you charge on your card. Some of these companies offer even more incentives such as two miles per dollar spent on gas or even five miles per dollar spent on that airline company. For people who are paying for a credit card or someone who stays loyal to a specific airline, this is a great way to get rewards for you.
