Compare Frequent Flyer

In other words, if your card offered 1 mile per dollar and another card offering 5 cents to a dollar.

How would you compare the two? How much is a mile from the air roughly equivalent to?

I used to work for Discover card and earn miles you earn 1 mile for every dollar spent. In fact, on your first $ 3,000 you really did earn double miles (2 miles for every dollar spent) Once you accumulate as you can turn in your "miles" for travel credits or gift cards. I think that 10,000 miles = $ 50. Travel credit card or gift. I do not know the details of repayment. Thus, for every dollar spent, you earn 2 miles on your first $ 3000. After you earn 1 mile per dollar spent. Gosh, I hope this answers your question. It depends on the card you're right all reward programs are a bit different. :)

Normally you need about 25,000 miles for frequent flyer free return to the U.S. ($ 250 - $ 400 value) so if you get 1 mile per dollar, you need to spend about $ 25,000 for a free trip or a reward of 1% -2%.

reward cards typically pay only about 1%, but some will offer a maximum of 5% in some stores and can not pay this higher amount for a certain period of time or may have other limitations.

Changed my points card to another. I often do win because I did my research.
Unfortunately ten points on a map does not mean it will be ten points on another.
