Hey guys,
I am trying to find out more about the frequent flier miles. How the heck does this thing work? Is it one company you register with and then … what? You log in your miles? What do you get for X number of miles?
How does it work - what is your experience with it? Does it get you free tickets?
Re: Frequent Flier Miles
You can register with an airlines (in which case they are called "frequent flyer" points/miles) or with a credit card (i.e. 1 mile/point per $ spent). Most airlines have a tie up with a credit card, but there is an annual fee associated with it.
The way it works is that you accumulate enough points by travelling (i.e. JFK-NY to London might get you 9,000 miles or by spending on the credit card :) or both). Once you have enough points you can use it for a free domestic US ticket (need a minimum of 25k points) or keep accumulating and get a free international ticket.
You can also use miles to upgrade from coach class to business class :)

**salaam PCG
now finally, i know ur name :) thank you.
u ahve to enroll with the individual airlines. they ahve partner airlines too so when u fly on any of these airlines u get points...atual mile or less or more depending on the type of fare u paid. most airlines let you keep ur miles for a two year period without any activity in ur account [meaning if u don't fly] after which the miles will lapse. there are also merchants, like hotels, car rentals, stores, are linked to the airlines and whenever u purchase something ur airline's FFP account gets credited. once u have enough mileage, u may claim a reward like free travel, free stay at hotels, free car rentals or get merchandise at participating stores. air travel has soem restriction for award travel during the peak travel times like christmas, summer holidays, spring breaks. it varies from program to program.
its advised that you look for seat sales when they allow u to collect a reward for less points. north american [canada, 50-us states/mexico] free ticket can be had for 25000 points but sometimes they reduce the required mileage to 15000.
during certain period, and to certain destinations they sometimes offer double or triple mileage for travel in economy class
Good Luck N happy flying :)**

FF are useless scamming things and nothing more. All the travelling I did in the past few years, and nothing got accumulated. Not even a freakin' ticket from TO to NYC.
