I don't fly much, perhaps once a year, almost always domestic and for

I never carry a balance, don't want to pay an annual fee.

Which would be the best MC or Visa card to start accumulating miles?

If you don't fly much, using a credit card that's tied to air milage
does not make much sense. There are better deals out there for people in
your situation. If I were you, I would shop around and find the credit
card offer that offers the most favorable rebate terms.

A great web site to use for credit card shopping is
