Frequent-flyer miles
This perk is targeting all the rest. Back in the 80s, American Airlines started offering their consumers a new way to frequently earn flyer miles, even when they weren’t flying. It was all based on a specific partnership with the credit card giant, Citibank.
Nowadays, all domestic and international airlines have a minimum of one credit card offered, in a very similar partnership, by major credit card issuers. Cardholders usually earn miles at a rate of one mile per dollar, only in net purchases, and sometimes one mile per two dollars that are spent for lower-end cards with no annual fee.
Those are really helpful tips that I already knew and instill in my children.
I agree with the credit card usage advice this article provided except with the use of a VISA credit card. I am a senior citizen that used my Nordstrom’s VISA credit card for Pauley’s Movers in Baltimore, MD. When I complained about the overcharges and services of the movers, Nordstrom agreed with my complaint and directed me on properly filing my complaint to VISA. VISA declined all the evidence I provided. I would not recommend VISA to anyone. I am no longer a VISA customer. Unfortunately, I found out too late many other negative reviews online about this moving company and, I’m extremely disappointed in VISA response and actions.

Very helpful, but I may talk face-to-face with my banker to clarify what’s best for me as a senior.
