Air mileage questions
I'm considering applying for a credit card providing air credits, such as Chase explorer, MC Saphire, or another that provides credit for United/Continental flights. I find lots of ads, and several comparison tables, etc., but nothing that explains clearly how many air miles I would get per $$ of purchases, or initially. I have tried to find an explanation of what "miles" means with any of these cards, but it's a complete mystery. In other words, for 40,000 bonus "miles," how much credit do I get for a United ticket? Or, assuming it's $.02 per mile as someone suggested, does that apply equally to all United flights (and all included airlines). Does it apply in all seasons, to all flights, and does it apply to flight prices already discounted, including foreign flights? (For example, I'm interested in flights between Houston and Paris.) - - Granted it's a basic question, and maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know the answer, but it's rather significant if I want to compare the benefits and costs of different cards, and I don't see it even mentioned in any of the ads or articles. Thanks for any suggestions, Jim PS: Can someone explain what's going on in the "rec.travel.air" news-group? Apparently that ng has been taken over by dealers in various kinds of supplements and herbal cures, etc. Is there another news-group that would actually relate to air travel? |
