Want to make a potentially expensive trip affordable? Many times, the first focus is on airfares. One way to bring air travel costs down is by earning frequent-flier miles through everyday purchases with airline credit cards. You'll find they are not all precisely the same. Benefits and potential costs might be similar, but it takes careful shopping to determine which one fits best with your spending patterns and travel needs. Remember: you should not use an airline credit card to accumulate travel rewards unless you are able to pay off the monthly balances. Interest rates tend to be high, and borrowing money this way will more than offset any rewards you might receive. If you're still with me, take a look at the potential benefits and frequent drawbacks of 10 airline credit cards tied to frequent-flier programs. .Airline Credit Card Choices originally appeared on About.com Budget Travel on Sunday, April 1st, 2012 at 16:55:19.Permalink | Comment | Email this

I think not. These cards became popular many years ago because they allowed budget travelers to earn frequent flyer miles from everyday purchases like groceries and oil changes. But airline frequent flyer miles have become increasingly difficult to use as a budget travel tool. Many of us like to shop multiple airlines for a good deal, pay for those bargains in cash, and then use travel rewards to book hotels or car rentals.

Am I paying too much? It?s a question most consumers ask daily as they whip out their wallet to buy something at the store. Why then don?t they ask the same question monthly as they whip out their pen to pay the interest on their loans? The answer: Most believe they got the best rate possible at the time of the loan, and that may in fact be the case. What they don?t realize, though, is that over a period of months or years a lot can change to drive down borrowing costs?and not just with mortgages. So they keep writing the same old checks. Two in three consumers are paying more interest than they need and one in three is paying significantly more?in effect flushing away an average of $541 a month, according to Credit Sesame, an online consumer debt management tool. That comes to $6,492 of excessive payments each year on their mortgage, auto loan, personal loans and credit cards. People with a mortgage generally pay attention to rates, and look to refinance when possible. Yet mortgages still account for the biggest part of household debt overpayment, Credit Sesame reports. Certainly, refinancing has been problematic since the housing collapse. Homeowners may not have the equity needed to take advantage of lower rates. But many simply assume the mortgage market is frozen. It?s not?and with real estate finally recovering mortgage holders should take another look. Consumers are paying too much on other common loans too, says Adrian Nazari, CEO of Credit Sesame. ?The biggest thing they have to understand is that their situation changes and the market changes,? he says. Perhaps they have built a better credit score. Sometimes a new zip code or older age qualifies for a lower rate. When market rates decline it?s usually clear. But market innovations aren?t so obvious. New products like peer-to-peer lending have driven down borrowing costs for millions of people. The most common ways consumers end up paying too much: Credit cards It?s easy to end up in the wrong card
