AirMiles cards
Is this the credit card for me?
uSwitch.com can help you find a credit card that offers AirMiles (or BA Miles, if that’s what the credit card offers instead). Just tell us how you use your credit card and we’ll search all UK credit cards for your best match. But, are you sure an AirMiles scheme is the best choice for you? It may mean missing out on other benefits.
The Best Airmiles and loyalty cards from uSwitch
What are AirMiles?
The AirMiles Travel Company is a loyalty programme that offers customers points in exchange for spending. Points can be gained by shopping at certain places or, if linked to the scheme, by using your credit card.
You can exchange points for rewards, which may include free flights, hotels, car hire and cinema tickets.
How much do you have to spend to get a free flight?
The value of points varies for each credit card. And, sometimes the points expire after a specified period, like two years. But, you can redeem your points by combining them with cash, if you don’t have enough for the reward you want.
Like the amount charged, the number of AirMiles needed for a flight or holiday varies depending on when it is and how far in advance you book.
To give you a better idea, the AirMiles website estimates that, if you spend £500 on your card monthly, you will receive 750 points in one year. This will earn you a flight from London to another European city, like Copenhagen, Berlin or Venice.
Should I get a credit card with AirMiles?
If you pay your balance in full every month, thereby never incurring interest, a rewards programme may suit you. When you search for cards on uSwitch.com, you can ask to view only those with loyalty programmes.
If you don’t think you will pay your balance off in full every month, then it’s probably not a good idea to base your credit card decision on the fact that you will get AirMiles. Saving money should be your first priority, and you may find that a low interest rate is more beneficial than AirMiles.
