How to Maximise Frequent Flyer Miles, with Nicky Kelvin from The Points Guy

Nicky discusses Wallet Hub's study, stating that the top five frequent flyer programmes of 2022 are mileage plan from Alaska Airlines, Mileage Plus from United Airlines, Sky Miles from Delta Airlines, Hawaiian miles from Hawaiian Airlines and, finally, Advantage from American Airlines.

American Airlines Advantage and United Mileage Plus earned the most points for airline coverage. This factor was based on the number of US destinations and international destinations served by each airline. Compared with its competitors, it's an important point of consideration when choosing a frequent flyer programme. As you don't want to be stuck with a bunch of points or miles you can't use to get to your vacation destination.

If you're looking for a frequent flyer programme with the best redemption policies, consider signing up for Delta Sky Miles, which ranked highest in that category. This was based on whether the airline imposes blackout dates, offers advanced booking charges, a fee for last minute rewards, redemptions or cancellations, and allows miles to be used for flights that include stopovers

The big takeaway here is every single time you're flying. If you can credit those points to a frequent flyer programme, do it and you'll start racking up those miles.
