Are Airline Miles Cards Worth It?

It seems to me that for most of us achieving a free flight from these airline rewards cards is a unobtainable feet. And if we do somehow manage to save up enough miles then our choices are so limited that it hardly seems worth it.

Just my opinion and others may have had more luck with these cards but I sure haven't

It my opinion it's only worth it if you travel a lot. Mainly because you can earn extra miles for flying or buying you tickets. I'd go with a cash back or other rewards card if you're not a frequent flyer

the blackout dates are pretty annoying. I've heard of some cards that allow no blackout dates, but there is always a catch, and ith those cards its usually some sort of fee, or you get less points that usual...

I swear by these sorts of cards. I have been going on holiday with them for twenty years. They are great, highly recommended.

IMO, Yes they are. They help get you discounts on your trip!

this is worthy recommendation
i think
but i don't go abroad
so i have no need to use this card

It is best worthy to me is that can let me spend less money travelling.

Its worth it. MY uncle travels a lot and he also have a HDFC GOLD CARD and he is very happy with the air miles..

It sure does helps. I have one too. I have not recieved any reward yet but im soon approching the mark of 10000 air miles that i would earn. I am now at 9200 air miles. And you know what is at 10000 mark - free trip to any location within the country.

I've heard this objection quite a bit with regards to air miles.
I know some business travelers use them religiously and have no problem making it worth their troubles.
Myself, I'd just rather have the cash back to use as I see fit.
