Are you looking to jump start your frequent flyer account, round out a ticket, or earn an upgrade? Then check out the following list of credit card bonus miles promotions. There are offers from a wide variety of card issuers and airlines, and in some cases you get a free ticket in one fell swoop.
Without further ado, here’s the list…Updated March 2012
Free Credit Card Mile Promotions

The Citi Premier Pass Elite card has an annual fee, but the regular Premier Pass card does not have an annual fee. Look at the application page again.
Also note that I have these cards listed in different sections based on the presence/absence of an annual fee.
Citi PremierPass Card is listed as having no annual fee, but the small print on the site stipulates: “Annual fee applies”.
Wtf? Seems like bait and switch to me.
Edit to add: See Comment #5, below.
Ben: Nice catch. Fixed.
Just a slight correction…
You’ve got the CitiBusiness/AAdvantage MasterCard listed as being part of United’s program.
Thanks for the update! I always like to keep up-to-date on what rewards programs are out there.
