Which airline has the best credit card offer for earning flights on everyday purchases?

I am looking to get a credit card. I want to find an airline that gives points on everyday purchases but I don't know which one would be my best option. Help!|||I know that United and Delta have credit cards which will waive the first year's annual fee. You earn 1 mile for each dollar spent and 2 miles for each dollar spent buying airline tickets. Capital One also has a credit card where you can earn points on airlines and not have a blackout date. However with these credit cards, there are annual fees associated with them and once you receive enough miles for a free ticket, there is no guarantee that you will be able to use them when you want to because so many people have frequent flier miles now. My recommendation is to just get a credit card that gives you cash back. I currently use a Chase Freedom Visa card that gives me 5% back on things such as gas and groceries and 1% back on other things.|||The thing would be for you to find out which airline has a hub operation at the airport which is closet to you. A hub is an airport where a particular airline has flights to many destinations. For example Delta has a major hub in Atlanta and American Airlines has a major hub in Dallas / Fort-Worth.





All airlines offer credit travel credit cards with rewards so it would be best to get the card for an airline that has many routes from your nearest airport. If you lived in Atlanta I would recommend getting a Delta Skymiles Card, If you lived in Dallas I would recommend getting an American Airlines AA Advantage Card, or the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Visa.





Again just about every major airline has a rewards card so take your pick.





Here is a link with a good review for the Delta Skymiles Card

The most important question is what do you want to use the miles for? Going one place over and over? Going different places? My card of choice is Hawaiian miles, because whenever I accumulate enough miles for two roundtrip flights, my spouse and I are more than willing to go! Sometimes we get enough for once a year, sometimes every two years, just depends.





The second thing is to figure out which airline flies out of your home city to the places you want to go. It does no good to have a bunch of miles that you cannot use.





Terms are important too, you want a card that will give you at least one mile per dollar, preferably with some extras thrown in. Example, with Hawaiian, I get one mile per dollar everywhere, 2 per dollar on Hawaiian purchases, and there are special merchants where I can earn 5 - 10 miles per dollar.|||http://www.creditcardguide.com/airline-f鈥?/a>
