I am a Gold Member with Delta Skymiles and I really like the perks. This causes me to fly on Delta whenever I fly - no matter if I have to take connections. I also join different clubs and websites to earn extra delta miles.
Do you collect airline miles? What ways do you use to increase your mileage? Skymiles dining? emiles?
Thanks everyone.

I collect Air Miles but i've never gotten enough to go anywhere. I use them to get freebies for certain things like hotel rooms.
I know that there are some credit cards like american express that have an air miles rewards system. You'd have to look into it more. For increasing mileage, i'd try to get a card where every dollar equals an air mile, and then use your credit card for everything. no matter if it is a small purchase or a large one. Also, buying groceries at certain stores can earn you extra rewards points.

Thanks. I don't want to get any more credit cards :( I think one of the survey sites will start giving miles soon as a payment option.

I have been taking different airlines on my business trips to countries in different parts of the world. Yes, I have joined the frequent flyer clubs of the airlines, and do collect frequent flyer miles. I could enjoy the miles when they reach the qualifying amounts.

I haven't ever collected air miles. I fly to all different places so I use the airlines that are available there. For example I flew London to Cape Town on Virgin Atlantic. I flew London to Vancouver on British Airways and was nervous due to their strike action. My last flight was Cartagena De Indias to London via Bogota and Madrid. I did that on Copa Air, Iberia and British Airways. Going out I went on Iberia and Avianca. My favorite airlines are Qantas, Air New Zealand and Virgin Atlantic. I love to get cheap flights and compare airfares before buying.
