When I worked, I traveled a lot for business. Also I had lots of business expenses and charged to my credit card. That is why I accumulated lots of miles. But believe...

you don't want to live that kind of life. Too much, too exhaused.

But you can still be able to accumulate points if you spend some effort.

1. flying the same airline and its alliance.

2. Get a credit card and accumulate points when you spend money (usually there is annual fee, you have to calculate if it is worth or not)

3. Pay attention to travel deal.

4. The more you accumulate, the higher your memebership status and the faster you can get. For example, when you reach super elite, you can get double point whenever you fly ( according to old rule).

5. If you make purchase for your company, you can put on your credit card and get reimbursement instead of paying by check. (make sure your company is in a good financial situation)

.....

Even my parents are close to get one free round trip North American ticket. For example, you fly from HK-Vancouver round trip 1.5 times, you can get one North American ticket.

so what is that credit card in Jiaozi's article? -skywalker(sky88); 2002-4-7 (#443259@0)

Right, I used to have American Express Card and Royal Bank Canadian Plus card. You have to calculate how much money you are going to spend (including business), otherwise the annual fee is too much. -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2002-4-8 (#443953@0)

不是打击你，当然也是个人的例子。一张卡到现在用了快两年，基本上是能用到的时候都用上了，到现在积累的公里数都不够从toronto到windsor,一百公里都不到。：（ -birdswimming(feifei); 2002-4-7 (#443277@0)

恁，从来没听说过，可否赐教？谢！ -birdswimming(feifei); 2002-4-7 (#443306@0)

打击我的积极性呢。不过正常情况下是这样的，不然AIR CANANDA不用911，这些点数就废了他拉 -ningxin0809(雁影行洲); 2002-4-7 (#443295@0)
According Amex airmiles card, $20 purchase=1 mile, so 100miles=$2000? -skywalker(sky88); 2002-4-7 (#443302@0)

首先不是哪儿都可以用它。每月固定消费的东西，都用不上，比如柴米油盐，洗涤用品什么的。记忆中用过的好象是shoppers drugmark，还有就是租车了。 -birdswimming(feifei); 2002-4-7 {489} (#443374@0)
有一个基本点，amercan express它也是做business,它要赚钱的，而不是白送给你机票，所有的馈赠和优惠都出在你购物是所产生的利润。

在给你算比帐，一张从中国到加拿大的机票多少钱，就以去年算吧，￥1300，我们设想amercan express 和航空公司有协议，可以有30%的折扣，那么就是￥910元。我们按照回扣3%，也就是说等同与零售商给信用公司的服务费来算给用卡人的优惠的话，你必须消费30333.333元，才有可能拿到这张机票。问：一年的正常消费除了日常开支外，还可以有这么多吗？

只是个人观点，我也不懂经济，随便聊而已。

Airmiles Card的使用范围几乎包括生活的各个方面，包括柴米油盐。比如在Dominion每周累计消费$20能得到1 mile。 -rockywei(落基山); 2002-4-7 (#443397@0)
别的省有些GROCERY STORE可以收信用卡的。 -zhu(猪头,LP IS COMING!); 2002-4-7 (#443408@0)

在申請Amerx,後， default100点，在futureshop, shell加油可以加点，基本上一年可以得100mile,再加上每年旅游，鸡票可以加点，基本上回国3-4次可以免费一次，不过 -oto(秃尾巴的老熊); 2002-4-7 {277} (#443319@0)

不过免费的这次要提前一年或大半年预约，否则无效，并且一般都转飞机5次左右（单程），这样本来17-8小时回国，就变成32-40小时了
多交几次学费就够了。 -zhu(猪头,LP IS COMING!); 2002-4-7 (#443331@0)
Air miles sucks. Very slow. We used it for two years, not enough to get anything. :( -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2002-4-8 (#443954@0)

往返一次2万公里，8次16万公里，一公里算消费1刀，嘿嘿，多少钱啊！不知我算得对不对？打死我也不敢这么想吧！ -lester(黑龙); 2002-4-7 (#443315@0)

To Hong Kong. I used to fly to Asia twice a month! Almost killed me. -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2002-4-8 (#443893@0)

“8次国内往返机票”嘿嘿，一看就觉得是加拿大--中国，看来理解方式要改改了？ -lester(黑龙); 2002-4-8 (#443945@0)

Yes, you are right, "guonei" is China. :) -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2002-4-8 (#443950@0)

刚查了到亚洲国家air miles要积7200里, 算消费$20得1里, 7200里要$144000, 什么高人能在3年里划14万? -skywalker(sky88); 2002-4-7 (#443392@0)

American Express usually has better deal. But the problem is not all merchants accept Amex card. You have to have Visa or MasterCard as back up. -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2002-4-8 (#443951@0)
