- Concentrating most of your spending on your credit card is a good strategy.
- Points accumulated on credit cards are transferred to airline loyalty programs.
- “This process is not automatic. The customer has to perform this conversion,” says Joyce.
- Some credit cards offer more benefits, according to the expert.
Some examples: Pão de Açúcar Card (Gold and Platinum Line), American Airlines with Santanderand American Express and Elo Nanquim card.

- To earn miles when you fly, you must be enrolled in the airline’s loyalty program.
- Find the benefits of Miles Clubs and join the best offers.
- To speed up the increase in points, you should keep an eye on promotions to buy or transfer points or miles between programs, and in return receive bonuses.
In some promotions, you pass your points from the bank to the airlines with a reward, which gives you a 100% bonus [ou mais].

how to redeem
