hi, i use my credit cards for everything i purchase and i fly for FREE all over the world. pointsjunkie-flyforfree.blogspot.com/
I let my purchases work for me, I don't buy anything that I don't get miles or points for.
I had 5 first class tickets last year, 4 Jetblue, 4 Southwest, and 4 coach seats. I go away almost every month.
I do pay all my credit cards off every month, I never carry a balance but I am flying for FREE>
