How To Accrue Miles In Your Frequent Flyer Program

How do I accrue "miles" in my frequent flyer program?

You accrue miles in your frequent flyer program by how far you're traveling. Say you take a flight. You're going to get about one point per mile for that flight. On occasion, the airline will offer specific dates of travel where you can get double the points or triple the points for certain types of travel. You want to stay tuned to those so you can just rack up mile after mile. There are lots of other ways that you can accrue frequent flyer miles and points. The airlines will hook up or partner with a participating hotel chain, car rental agency, restaurants, and even through different credit cards. So, by spending on your credit card or by staying at a certain hotel, you are actually accruing miles for your airline at the same time.
