Frequent flyer programs have come a long way since American Airlines introduced these in 1981. Since then, the concept of frequent flyer programs has been embraced by others and is no longer the exclusive domain of airline companies. One of the credit card companies that embraced this type of reward scheme is American Express. Many of their products, such as the American Express AIR MILES credit card, now include the ability to earn miles.

Simply by using your American Express AIR MILES credit card for your daily purchases, you get the chance to earn your free airline tickets to and from any destination in the world. If you have a dream to someday view Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower or to revel in sultry Rio de Janeiro, the American Express AIR MILES credit card could help fulfill that wish. American Express is able to offer this kind of product through its tie-up with AIR MILES, hence the name American Express AIR MILES credit card.

If you choose to link your American Express AIR MILES credit card to the regular AIR MILES program card you may already have, you can accumulate additional rewards miles. For instance, when you shop at a grocery store which is a participating sponsor of AIR MILES, you can charge your purchases to your American Express AIR MILES credit card and ask the merchant to also scan your regular AIR MILES loyalty card. In that way, you earn rewards miles twice — once for the charge in your American Express AIR MILES credit card, and once on your AIR MILES card. 

When you have accumulated enough rewards miles, you can redeem these for free airline tickets to a destination of your choice. Should you have lots of miles, you can get your entire holiday for free. This could include a paid hotel stay, and a paid car rental. Free holidays do not come along too often. But it can be made possible with your American Express AIR MILES credit card.

You will get a free 100 rewards miles when you sign up for an American Express AIR MILES credit card. Note, however, that the 100 bonus rewards miles will only be credited together with the first purchase you make with your American Express AIR MILES credit card. When you have your credit card replaced or renewed, or if you receive supplementary cards, the 100 bonus mile offer does not apply.

On top of the rewards program tie-up with AIR MILES, the American Express AIR MILES credit card provides the usual package of benefits and services from American Express, including free insurance cover for auto rental, travel accident, and the important purchase and fraud protection services. You will also have access the company’s InfoAssist service where you can keep a secure record of sensitive information and documents. 

Air Canada, Canadian North, American Airlines, Northwest Airlines, CanJet, Calm Air, KLM Royal Dutch and Lufthansa are the airline companies where you can obtain your free airline tickets by redeeming rewards miles in your American Express AIR MILES credit card. So, if seeing the world is a dream, perhaps this is one way of turning your dream into a reality!
