Here is an update on current airline affinity credit card offers. The following chart details personal cards that earn one mile per dollar spent, except for carriers that use credits or points instead of miles.

Some cards offer double miles for airline and other purchases and this information can be found in the details column. The Annual Percentage Rates (APR) for these cards are variable, since they are based on the fluctuating prime rate plus the airline's set rate. Consumers should verify the following information when applying as it is subject to change.

If you want a no or low annual fee card, you may have to be persistent if you are applying by phone since many banks are pushing their cards with higher annual fees. The more costly cards are definitely worth considering since these cards do typically offer extra perks and bonus miles.
