Sure you do. Google cash back cards you would find the options. That should help to offset the cost to get value if this is what you are after. Whether it is worth the trouble though (doing both and balance the act) is of course YMMV.
You have to understand that there are indeed some folks are more than happy to pay a cost for a coach ticket and then get to travel in first class. To them, they dont need to see green, that flat bed in the sky for 15 hours is green enough to do it. Ditto for staying at nice hotels but paying for budget hotels price. Enough green there, too.
