Question
I have just recently acquired a position with my company that is going to require me to do a lot of traveling. How it works is that I make the charges to my credit card & then they reimburse me. So, I would like to find a card that will give me the most benefits as far as miles and points go. This is new to me, and I was overwhelmed with search results that I got when I went looking for "the best card". What card do you recommend which has the maximum flyer miles and points benefits?

Hi Ryan:
Great timing. We are FREE airline travel gurus and have not paid for global plane tickets in more than a decade.
We just published the latest FREE online edition of our Cheap Travel Newsletter. And I just revised my lengthy FREE travel article.

You will be obaining Diners Club and Citibank Cards. The former will give you 12,000 bonus miles the first year which more than pays for the card. The current Citibank deal lets you get two cards, both FREE of any fee, and receive at leat 35,000 miles good for a FREE RT ticket to Maui for example. You can do that, as we did, right now at ZERO cost. This is the very essence of FREE travel. While we are retired you will be doing even better with all the $$$$ you will be charging AND presumably the miles you will get for all those flights. Remember to open frequent flyer accounts, they are free, for every airline you fly.
Welcome to the world or FREE global (and domestic) travel.

Other budget travel areas include such as air brokers, rebate travel agencies, renting a Paris/Barcelona apartments for as little as $65/night (depending on length of stay and size of apt.), sightseeing and general TIPS on travel related comfort, safey/convenience and day to day SAVINGS. Since we travel Free 95% of the time I DO NOT OFFER ADVICE ON CHEAPEST, LOWEST PRICED AND/OR LAST MINUTE AIRLINE FARES.
