Say Good-Bye To Frequent Flier Miles....

With the economy struggling to stay afloat more than the value of the dollar is taking a beating. All those frequent flier miles you may have racked up have started to become more and more worthless. Since airlines have been adding new fees (what seems like everyday), cutting their routes, and the frequency of their flights, there is less and less to buy with all those earned miles.

Some airline companies have been teaming up with credit card companies. In this case the credit card companies are prepaying for miles that they can then hand out to their customers. This is an advantage to the airlines since they are getting money, that they can then use for other purposes. The credit card companies then get the miles that they paid for and the consumers can then start to earn miles. 

But the question becomes how many miles is one individual going to need in order to take a flight across the country? The number of miles needed might increase since the airlines have instilled so many fees. The airline company needs to (try) and cover their bottom line.
