Debit Cards & Miles

I was wondering if you know of any secured credit cards that also offer frequent flyer miles? I have only recently resolved my credit issues and know I won't qualify unless it's secured, but I love to travel and really would like to benefit with some sort of frequent flyer miles.

Thanks,
Janice

Hi Janice,

At present I am not aware of any card issuers that offer a secure card with s miles program. However, there are a number of Debit or Check Cards that offer miles, and typically the only requirement for holding one of these cards is to have a checking account.

For additional information you might want to read the Credit Card section in my book and also note that the new edition of my book will be released in May. You can pre-order the book at this link.

Good luck with your mileage search.
