Earning Miles Without Flying

As we have mentioned already in our post, earning miles – how and why, you can earn miles without even flying.

We will give you a quick overview of how you can earn miles without flying, with the 3 biggest airline alliances, Oneworld, Skyteam and Star Alliance.

Credit Cards

Credit Cards are the number one source for earning miles. For every €/£/$ spent, you will earn miles that can be converted into airline miles.

Depending on the country you live in, you will get some fantastic welcome bonuses if you apply a new credit card.

If you live in Luxembourg or Belgium, you can check this page, welcome bonus up to 30,000points.
If you live in Germany, Austria or Switzerland you can have a look at meilenoptimieren.com for different credit cards with a welcome bonus.
If you live in France, check out Suitespot.com

Earning Miles with Hotel Bookings

Rocketmiles and Kaligo are both sites where you are able to earn extra miles with most airline programs of your choice when you book a hotel.

The different airline programs offer that possibility as well, but it is always worth looking where you will get the most miles for the lowest price.

All Kind of Expense

From car rentals, hotel bookings over to online shopping like H&M, Apple and many more, you can earn miles with the different Frequent Flyer Programs.

We have suggested you already in our previous articles to register with 1 program from each airline alliance.

For Oneworld: British Airways Excecutive Club
For Skyteam: Air France Flyingblue
For Star Alliance: SAS Eurobonus or Miles&More

No matter for which airline, for every purchase you make, always use your credit card to earn extra miles on top.
