Top 8 Frequent Flyer Miles Credit CardsBelow is a list of the credit cards that can generate ultimate frequent flyer miles for you or your business. You may have noticed that we changed this page to show you the best cards including the cards that are not airline branded cards. Our top two cards are great because they offer travel rewards without having to be restricted to a certain airline. In generating this list of top cards we looked at the amount of the annual fee, 0% offers, amount of bonus travel points or miles earned, blackout dates, and concierge services provided by the cardholders. The Value Miles Platinum Visa Card gives you the rewards and choice you need to get away. Choose your travel dates to anywhere in the United States, the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, South America or Asia with no blackout dates. Another favorite pick for a frequent flyer miles card is the Citi Premier Pass. The Premier Pass gives you two cards to pick from but both of them give you miles on air travel plus miles on dollars spent using the card. The merchandise rewards or cash credit to your account start as low as 1,000 points. Roundtrip air travel rewards start at just 25,000 points and there are no blackout dates. With the Citi Premier Pass you can earn up to 100,000 points per calendar year; 50,000 of which can be Flight Points (miles flown). Here is our list of the top ten airline frequent flyer miles cards:
