Running around for frequent flyer miles? Save time ... here's how

It's ironic that people will go miles to accumulate miles - frequent flyer miles, that is. What if you could collect all those miles without visiting several places or buying from a variety of shops? It turns out - you can, and the trick is very simple.

Most major airlines belong to one of the three large airline alliances; Star Alliance (United, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines plus 25 others), Oneworld (American Airlines, British Airways, Qantas plus 12 more), and SkyTeam (Delta, Alitalia, KLM, plus 12 others). Aside from the business agreements and code-sharing flights, this often means that one airline’s frequent flyer miles can be earned and redeemed with their partners.

If you can merge all your miles onto one alliance card instead of using several different cards for several different airlines, your points will accumulate exponentially. What better reason do you have to unload your wallet? This article shows you how to reap the rewards of frequent flyer miles without covering a lot of ground or using up valuable time: How Do You Accumulate All Of Your Frequent Flyer Miles In One Place?
