Airline Rewards Credit Card News

Delta Airlines announced a radical change to its frequent flier program Tuesday night. They will now be basing frequent flier rewards on the fares its customers pay instead of the miles they travel. 
 

American Airlines and US Airways have completed their merger, resulting in the creation of the world’s largest airline. The two companies have been trying to combine for years but were hindered by objections from the Justice Department and some flyers. On Monday, despite these challenges, the merger was officially finalized. Now, the two companies will be joined as American Airlines Group Inc., or AAL.

Since the end of the recession, rewards credit cards of all types have grown quite popular as consumers move to take advantage of the more generous offers being sent out by major lenders. But perhaps the fastest growing are for those that offer airline miles and other benefits specifically related to travel, according to a report from the luxury travel company Alpha Flight Guru.
