How do air miles work? What is the best card for a Canadian wanting European travel?

Answer 1

Well I found out after saving for years that airmiles aren't really worth it with all the fees you have to pay to redeem them. Having an Airmiles Westjet master card I did get lots of free westjet flights though (actually free). For travel to Europe you will be better off trying to save Aeroplan miles because it is linked to many major airlines. The thing is they don't have that many sponsers. Most of the real rewards plans are designed for people who actually fly a lot. I used to fly through Europe and the Middle East a lot for work and you sure collect a lot that way but most people jsut used them for upgrades. I think if you have an Aeroplan credit card linked to your aeroplan number they would add up fast.

Answer 2

If you mean the best credit card to gain air miles, I think they are all about the same. (depending on the deal offered at the time of application.) They offer you so many air miles for each dollar you spend. These translate into discounts.

If you mean discount cards for European travel check out the left column on this page http://www.silvaspoon.net/reservations.html as purchasing a discount card prior to your trip will save you money.

Answer 3

i could think of this is prohibited. If not unlawful, grounds for termination and in line with probability your organization being faraway from this equipment for abuse of the prgram. it seems such as you're making use of your organization's participation in a application to your individual benefit... the miles benefit could be to the customer who offered the gas, not the clerk who rang up the sale.
