There are many ways to earn points to obtain a free flight.<br /><br /><br /><br />The following is only the tip of the iceburg, the rest is up to you to research:<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Credit Card Association:</strong><br /><br />As long as your spending is under control. If you have little or no debt, or have one card with a very low balance consider switching. The debt won't translate into points, but future spending will.<br /><br /><br /><br />If you have excellent self-control with spending: use a credit card affiliated with a major airline to rack up those flight points!<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Online Programs: </strong><br /><br />There are plenty of programs that allow swapping between point programs. Some encourage survey taking to gain points, others require you to purchase at a specific vendor.<br /><br /><br /><br />If you have a lot of patience, and can wait, the points toward a free flight will slowly build.<br /><br /><br /><br />Airlines often change their point programs after each <strong><em>bankruptcy</em></strong>, so plan your trips and point accumulation accordingly.JD Webbernoreply@blogger.com
