How to Earn Airfare Miles Through a Citibank Credit Card
An airline's frequent flyer program allows you to earn miles---through flying with the airline or through making purchases---which you can use to get free airfare. Citibank offers several credit cards that earn miles with American Airlines. If that's not the airline you prefer to use, you can still earn airfare miles through a Citibank credit card on whatever airline you choose.

Earn more miles by registering your card. When you register your Citibank credit card with your mileage program, you can earn additional miles through purchases with partner merchants. Among other merchants, these include hotels, rental cars and restaurants. If you use your Citibank travel reward card, you will get double benefits if you use American Airlines, but you can register any Citibank card with any airline's mileage program to get additional miles. Usually, you can earn up to five miles for each dollar you spend.
