Reply To: How do I get a free flight to Israel?

There is no free lunch. If you pile up a lot of airline miles on a credit card, you’ve also piled up a lot of debt – unless you’re paying the full amount due every month. No credit card gives you the miles totally gratis. Sign up deals also include conditions such as “spend $1,500 in the first four months”. But if you had the $1,500 to spend, you could buy the ticket. If you have a credit card, buy your ticket, and then work like crazy to pay it back ASAP.
