All About Airline Rewards

Thursday, March 11, 2010

If you travel often for recreation or business, getting the most for your money is definitely a priority. And if you purchase airline tickets for traveling, learning more about airline rewards and frequent flyer programs could help you to save a considerable amount of money throughout the year. Since many airlines---and passengers--are feeling the strain of an economy headed for a recession, discounts are a great way to keep airlines in business, and to keep customers within their budgets. Here are a few airline rewards programs you may want to consider, depending on the regions of the country--or world you travel to.

If you book airline tickets through Southwest Airlines often, you may be able to rent a car in your arrival city for a discounted rate. Rental car companies like Avis and Budget have partnered with Southwest Airlines to make sure that Rapid Rewards members receive up to 25% off on car rental (Avis), or 20% of the total cost of car rental (Budget). Both companies also offer 'credit' when you rent a vehicle as well, which means you will be able to save on your next airline ticket. The more credit or 'points' you accumulate, the closer you could be to earning a free flight. Visit southwest.com for more details.

Delta airlines offers an airline rewards program called SkyMiles; when you fly frequently with the airline, you'll receive special deals and promotions such as discounted car rental, reduced prices on hotel stays, and you can even transfer some of your 'miles' to a friend or family member--and both of you will receive 25% bonus miles. You can even give miles as a gift to help a loved one reach the amount of miles needed for a free or discounted trip. Of course, there are limitations and restrictions to these offers, so you'll need to be clear on the conditions before enrolling in the SkyMiles program. You can sign up for this program and learn more about incentives at delta.com.
