Personal Finance

My husband is from Ecuador and still has a lot of family down there, which means that we have to journey down there every couple years. Now that we have to buy four full-price tickets (and will soon need to buy five), we figured we should try to take advantage of a credit card that will give us frequent flier miles. The first one my husband tried was Bank Of America’s Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan credit card. Our reasons for choosing this card were simple: I usually flew Alaska to visit family in Arizona, it is a partner airline of American, which can get us to Ecuador, and they offered my husband 10,000 bonus miles to sign up for the card. After a couple of years, he convinced me to sign up for the card too. I’m glad I did.
