Has this ever happened to you?
There’s a new credit card offer for 100,000 British Airways miles (or the current big offer of the day), but you don’t have a British Airways Executive Club number. Or you want to sign-up for a mileage program but can’t find the sign-up link on the airline’s website.
It certainly has happened to me!
Don’t worry! Here are links to sign-up for Airline Frequent Flyer Programs:
- Air Canada Aeroplan
- Air France/KLM Flying Blue
- Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
- American Airlines AAdvantage
- ANA Mileage Club
- British Airways Executive Club
- Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
- Delta Airlines SkyMiles
- Jet Blue True Blue
- Qantas Frequent Flyer
- Southwest Rapid Rewards
- United Airlines Mileage Plus
- US Airways Dividend Miles
Please let me know either in the comments or via email if there is a program you would like me to add!
I have earned and redeemed millions of airline miles and hotel points to travel the world for free. Now I'm blogging to help more people do the same!

have a question regarding signing up for airline or hotel rewards programs…
if i’m not already a member, should i wait to join until i see some kind of bonus attached to a ‘new’ membership?? and if so, could you add to “ff sign up page” and include info regarding bonuses (or lack thereof) and if we should wait…
for example… “you should wait to join HHonors because, although there is no bonus currently, they have had XXXX points as a sign up bonus in the past… OR… “no reason to wait on this one… HHonors has never offered incentive points for joining their program”
thanks!
robbie from baltimore
@ Robbie - That’s a great idea! I suppose you could wait until there is some sort of sign-up bonus, but these offers are generally for a fairly short time. I’ll make it a note to point new sign-up bonuses on the blog!
Is the AA advantage visa card offer with the 75000 mile bonus at signup still valid? If I am not a member of AA frequent flier club, will this be a problem? I am a BA member. Will I be able to transfer AA miles to BA account?
@Ron – The 2 AA card offers are still working. If you are not a member of the AAdvantage program you can sign up and provide that number in your application or Citi/AA will assign you a new number. I recommend signing up for an account so that you can easily access it later and putting that number in your application. You can’t transfer miles from AA to BA, but since both are part of the oneworld alliance you can use AA miles to fly on BA (you’ll have to pay the high BA fees and surcharges, though).

How about a link to Korean Air? Thanks!
hey gday! i am a australian resident but fly british airways and use their frequent flyer program – seem to be more rewarding than quants. is there anyways i can maximise more of their new credit card program, or anyway of just maximising the points gained whilst travelling. i only travel economy don’t see the point spending a fortune on business/can’t afford to every time so whats the best solution to get maximum points. thanks
Christina – Good idea and I’ll get to it over the weekend.
@haz – British Airways charges high fuel surcharges for flights on their aircraft. However, the surcharges for Qantas flights within Australia is low and you could even travel on Cathay Pacific from Australia to Hong Kong for 25K Avios and $186 and then on to Asia. You won’t be able to get the US-issued British Airways card unless you have a US social security number.
i need to use my american express points and would like to know which airline will be the best to use. need to fly from lax to shangai in 2 weeks.
I am new to this program and the internet. please send me a simple way to apply my already purchased ticket to this program. thank you
Goal JFK-hkg- jnb Fclass using AlaskaAir program Any hints as to ways to glom miles. Would buying IcelandAir miles work? I need 280000 miles
See you in Chicago/Oct
Cheers
@Paul hanley – See you in Chicago too! That’s a lot of Alaska miles, and their credit card offers 40K miles, and folks have been able to cancel and get that again in 3 to 4 months, though your experience could be different. Alaska Air is a transfer partner of SPG, so getting the personal and business SPG card will get you 30K each or 60K total which will transfer to 75K Alaska Air miles. Otherwise, it is hard to accumulate Alaska Air miles.
You can only redeem Iceland Air miles for flights on Alaska within the US, Canada, and possible Mexico.
i want apply for the trick 150000 aa miles citi cradit card
Is their a way i can avail of your tips form ireland or is this USA only?
Darius, I am debating about the debit card acct that i want to sign up – suntrust, UBF (AA if i am not wrong) or bofa alaska.
UBF and Bofa Alaska have the edge about maintaining balance (i owned bofa mortgage so i am not charged monthly), but earning less mileage.
Suntrust earned 1 for 1 but for delta….
for common/newbie mile collector, which miles should I collect and easy to use (for international if possible).
I have UBF-yes it’s AAdvantage at 0.5 miles/$, and also suntrust delta. I would be happy to hear from you if you wanted some advice re: if your problem is credit based. If you just do not believe in credit cards, that’s another matter. As Darius says, you should be paying these off each month, not applying and spending up. At any rate, my e-mail is rsr40@columbia.edu and name Roderick Scott if you have questions about recovering from a bad public record on your credit or the like. You are on the right path if you say Suntrust is “1 for 1 “but for delta.”
If I fly on British Airways…
I can buy a ticket in economy class and buy Avios to upgrade to first class?
@Chris – Which miles to collect really depends on your goals and how you want to use your miles and points.
@Alan – You can do a 1 class upgrade so from economy to premium economy, but it depends on which fare class you bought. If you want to upgrade to business class, you would need to buy a premium economy ticket.

I want to transfer Amex miles to fly from Boston to Singapore. How can I determine how many miles I need?
@Deborah - It depends on which airline partner you use – Aeroplan, Singapore Air, ANA etc.
as for @Robbie offers… have you ever noticed some kind of pattern as the which TIME of the year these things usually pop up? probably not before xmas, for example…
@eddie – I don’t track the airline sign-up, because they are usually just a few hundred miles.
