Which airlines do
you use most frequently

like the Chase TravelPlus Rewards Card are good for a variety

Card rewards you with trips on its airline only.
Dedicated and Open Reward Programs
The need to distinguish between Dedicated and Open frequent flyer reward programs.
If you fly one
airline more than others, it is usually worth using a card with
which your favorite airline is affiliated. In many cases, as
seen with Southwest Airlines, you can earn extra miles when you
charge your airfare on its card.
Using its
preferred partner card may also entitle you to other perks such
as membership in the airport clubs or upgrades on an
available-seat basis.
