The Signature version of the card has a $75 annual fee and comes with the companion pass voucher. I believe the lower level cards do not have the same fees/benefits.</p> <p>We put the pass to good use so the annual fee is worth it for our fam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1629350 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:30:06 +0000 BSB 1629350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsBadger: yeah, I heard good things about that card. I have a capital one card and they keep sending me offers to open a venture card. I think I'm good with one Cap1 card. We are very close to paying it off so I doubt we'll be using it anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1629347 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:28:30 +0000 BSB 1629347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: I think there's an annual fee. We just got the card but a lot of my coworkers have the card and love it. </p> <p>I'll have to see if there are other fees.</p> <p>We have a US air card that is great. It also has an annual fee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1629306 Mon, 12 May 2014 14:14:13 +0000 Espion 1629306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: So the Alaska Air card is worth it? Are there a ton of fees? I'm sure I'm required to have one of these since I <i>live</i> there... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628932 Mon, 12 May 2014 12:06:35 +0000 sunny 1628932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: We have flown biz and it was already pretty awesome. I can only imagine how much more awesome first would be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628920 Mon, 12 May 2014 12:00:42 +0000 psw27 1628920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestripedbee me either! I felt a bit out of place but the cabin was mostly empty. I had never been in first class on a regular domestic flight, let alone a long haul one like that. I'm sure that opportunity won't come around again, but it was fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628916 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:58:41 +0000 BadgerMom 1628916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a airline card exactly, but we have have the Capital One Venture. You earn 2 points for every $1 you spend, and it is SUPER easy to get a statement credit on any air travel that is purchased with the card. I LOVE IT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628899 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:51:12 +0000 BSB 1628899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: Whoah! Asia on first class. Very nice! I've never been in first class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628896 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:49:57 +0000 psw27 1628896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have American citi card - I like it okay, we definitely earn a lot of miles and we were able to fly to Asia first class for free so that was pretty amazing! (The tickets would have been $18,000 if we paid retail and we spent about $100 in fees...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628888 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:46:11 +0000 yoursilverlining 1628888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the JetBlue Amex! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628878 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:43:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1628878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: super nice! We just used the last of it to pay for DH and J to go visit my ILs this summer. Our last two trips to NY to visit his family have only cost $20 - the government taxes/fees. We wouldn't have been able to go otherwise :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628872 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:42:11 +0000 BSB 1628872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I've flown on Hawaiian Air a couple times and I love it!. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628850 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:35:11 +0000 gingerbebe 1628850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to have one for United and got a few cheaper flights, but we started getting unhappy with their service overall (the airline), so we cancelled it. We switched over to a Starwoods Amex for hotels instead (Sheraton, Westin, etc). We're pretty happy with that card, but we've been thinking about getting the Hawaiian Airlines card because we really enjoy going to Hawaii. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628845 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:33:29 +0000 BSB 1628845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Wow! Nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628842 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:33:09 +0000 BSB 1628842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: We are hoping to be 'forced' to go, too! Next year, it might be a Hawaii year! Can't wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628837 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:31:25 +0000 Alivoo01 1628837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an AA one. We have quite a bit of miles, but haven't used them yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628836 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:31:23 +0000 BoogieBea 1628836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alaska air! We love it. We're "forced" to go to hawaii once a year so we can take advantage of the companion ticket. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628829 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:29:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1628829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a southwest cc. Just for joining we got enough points to pay for about 5 airplane tickets - that was worth it IMO! Now it takes longer to accumulate miles but it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628826 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:28:05 +0000 BSB 1628826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Oh, yeah! You must get a ton of miles going there every year. Nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628812 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:21:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1628812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting a Korean Air one because we fly to the Philippines every year. The mileage and points adds up to free tickets so it's totally worth it! My mom has one and usually flies free to Korea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/airline-credit-cards#post-1628803 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:17:27 +0000 BSB 1628803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any?<br /> What type of rewards do you get besides miles?</p> <p>We have a US Air and Alaska credit cards and love the companion vouchers that they give us. $119 for a companion to fly is a great deal. Especially if you travel long flights that always cost $200 or more. </p> <p>We are going to Florida in August and a RT ticket for one person will cost us $550. The voucher alone saves us a lot of money. It's going to cost us $650ish for two people to fly RT ($325 each! I'll take it!!) </p> <p>US Airways card only allows flights within the contagious US (no Alaska or Hawaii), but Alaska will allow us to fly to Hawaii with the companion flight! More trips to Hawaii! Woohoo! </p> <p>I heard Southwest's credit card is another good one, but we have never been on a SW flight. </p>
