Return to Story IndexFREQUENT FLYER FEES
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SAVE ON HOLIDAY TRAVEL, REDEEMING FREQUENT FLYER MILES MIGHT SEEM LIKE A GOOD OPTION. If you can use them for one of these very expensive holiday fares -- and holiday fares are expensive right now for peak holiday travel -- that might be a good way to use your miles, assuming that they give you a seat. BUT WITH THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY STRUGGLING, EVEN THE MOST LOYAL FLYERS HAVE DISCOVERED FEW FREE RIDES. If you cash them in at the last minute there might be a fee. If you want to put them back into your account there's another fee. If you want to change them there's another fee. Unfortunately, these tickets aren't really free. SO BEFORE YOU CASH IN, DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON POTENTIAL FEES, AND COMPARE THE COST TO THAT OF AN ACTUAL TICKET. AND ALSO MAKE SURE YOU'RE MAKING THE MOST OF THOSE MILES. I would say if you're only spending 2- or 2-50 roundtrip on a ticket that you shouldnt use your miles. You should save it for a more expensive trip. IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO USE THEM, DON'T LOSE THEM. KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT ACTIVE EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T FLY, BY LINKING IT TO A REWARDS CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD. FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M MEGAN HUGHES.
