BEST AIRLINES CREDIT CARD OFFERS

Most of the credit cards offer some sort of incentive to entice you in applying for them. Sometimes they come up with great offers as well. Below are the few credit credit cards which are offering lucrative bonus miles. These credit cards offer have value of close to $400 to $500 worth of air-travel or cash equivalent. Here is the list:

1.
United Explorer Card 50k Miles: United Airlines is having a 50k miles bonus promotion for signing up on their Explorer Card. The details are below:
  • You get 50k miles after spending $1k in 3 months using this card.
  • You get additional 5k miles by adding authorized user to your card. 
  • You earn 1 mile/$ spent.
  • $95 Annual fee (Waived for the first year). 
This can be conservatively valued at atleast $500 of free travel. The publicly available offer for this is 30k miles, but lot of folks have reported to see the 50k offer by using the link here. The trick here is to be logged into your account and have few miles. You can get upto 1000 miles instantly following the details here. United Airlines miles can be used for one-way rewards as well as can be redeemed for any of their partner as well as Star Alliance member airlines. You can also book most of the reward flights online and it has one of the better online reward search engines. Credit Card Issuer is Chase Bank and thus you can apply for only 1 personal credit card every 90 days (lot of folks have reported to get the 2nd card in less than 90 days though).

2. British Airways 100k Miles: British Airways is offering 100k miles in total for signing up for British Airways Visa Card. The details are below:
  • You get 50k miles after spending $1k in 3 months using this card.
  • You get another 25k miles after a total spend of $10k in a year thus taking your total bonus miles tally to 75k miles (50k + 25k).
  • You get yet another 25k miles after a total spend of $20k in a year thus taking your total bonus miles tally to grand total of 100k miles (75k + 25k).
  • You earn 1.25 mile/$ spent.
  • $95 Annual fee (Not waived).
British Airways Miles (Avios) are best use for short haul flights on their partner airlines (American Airlines and Alaska Airlines) in the USA as their award chart is distance based. The one way award starts at only 4500 Avios. You can apply for this card here. Note that Credit Card Issuer is Chase Bank and thus you can apply for only 1 personal credit card every 90 days (lot of folks have reported to get the 2nd card in less than 90 days though)

3. American Airlines 50k Miles (x 2): There are various offers available for American Airlines Credit Card. Since Citi Bank is the card issuer it allows to apply for 2 personal credit cards at same time and thus you can maximize to earn 100k miles by applying for 2 variants of the same card (VISA & AMEX) or (VISA & MasterCard) using 2 browser trick. Also as an added advantage you only get one credit card pull on your credit report since two credit pulls get merged since they are from the same issuer and for the same card type. More info about the 2 browser trick can be found here. There are various offers floating at the moment with annual fees of ~$95 (waived for 1st year) and I am listing all the offers below. (HT to flytertalk page here)

a. 50k miles after $2500 spend in 4 months (Note: No Admirals Club passes or statement credit; Thanks to FT member jeanie). -- Expired, No landing page, but still working
Personal VISA

b. Up to $150 statement credits for the eligible AA purchases made within 12 months of card membership, 45k miles after $5,000 in purchases within the first 4 months, 2 Admirals Club passes. (Thanks to FT member jeanie)
VISA
AMEX

c. Up to $100 credit, two admirals club passes, 50k miles (40k miles for $2k within 4 months of opening + 10k miles after $5k within 12 months of opening), 2 miles/$ on AA: Direct Links:
VISA
AMEX


American Airlines rewards can be redeemed for One World Alliance member flights as well as any of their partner airlines as well. Also off-peak round trip Europe travel from USA only costs 40k miles.

4. US Airways 40k Miles: You can earn 40k miles after the first purchase. Although the application page says it's only for Chairman's Preferred Members, anyone applying using the link and approved for the card have received all the benefits, but obviously YMMV. The application link is here. Some of the details for the card are as below:
  • Up to two $99 companion tickets annually.
  • One complimentary US Airways Club day pass annually.
  • Discount on annual US Airways Club membership.
  • $89 Annual fee. (Waived for the 1st year)
  • 5k miles discount for award tickets on US Airways and booked using US Airways Credit Card.

US Ariways Miles can be redeemed on United Airlines or any Star Alliance flights (although with some restrictions) as well as partner airlines. Also US Airways reward flight can only be booked on phone and there is reward redemption fee for both domestic and international awards. US Airways Credit Card is offered by Barclays Bank.
