Frequently asked questions

What is an airline affinity credit card?

Airlines partner with banks, community financial institutions and credit unions to provide consumers with credit options featuring rewards programs that accumulate points/miles every time they use a card. These programs allow airlines to reward their most loyal customers with perks such as free checked bags, upgraded seats, priority status and even free trips and vacations!
