As travellers look to take advantage of cheap air fairs for impulsive weekends away, the use of a rewards credit card is emerging as a firm favourite amongst the frequent flyer community, especially air miles credit cards that allow travellers to obtain and collect airmiles every time they spend.
An airmiles credit card is a card that rewards you with air miles every time you use it, which you can then exchange for a range of bonuses including money off flights, flight upgrades and even free flights once you’ve accumulated enough points.
So where do these air miles credit card users like to go? The world is a big place so they’ve certainly got lots of choice.
It might come as a surprise, but quite a lot of UK residents with an air miles credit card redeem their points on internal flights within UK. Places such as Edinburgh and Dublin are popular as they provide travellers with a nice break without having to travel too far and can be done over a weekend without the need to take time off work.
As you might expect, destinations in Europe are also popular with people who use a rewards credit card to collect airmiles. For example, Italy is a favourable destination for travellers as it has a great mix of beaches and historical cities, providing a wide range of options for people whether they are travelling for business or pleasure. France is another popular destination, especially as it is family friendly due to the likes of Euro Disney and other favourite attractions.
Travellers that have been fortunate enough to accrue a large number of airmiles can often redeem their air miles to go further afield, such as New York. This is a popular option with business people who fly regularly as it’s such a hot business destination, but it’s also a popular choice for people looking to go on city breaks. With so much to do once you get there and the whole of the US then at your disposal, if you’re after a trip a bit further afield, the Big Apple certainly makes a good choice if you are looking to redeem your air miles from your rewards credit card.
