Beating the Airline Fare Hikes

I just read this morning that many airlines are attempting their 21st fare hike for the year. When will the fare hikes stop? Here's yet again another reason to use a credit card that earns you airline miles for significantly cheaper air travel.

These days, you can find credit cards that offer bonus miles and 0% apr introductory rates - and you don't even have to pay an annual fee. What an easy way to save money!

Pick a card that offers unlimited mile rewards if you are a big spender - believe it or not, there are some. And if you charge enough on your airline credit card, you may find that it's cheaper to fly to the grocery store than drive.
