Thanks for the reply. I was confusing the Worldperks program with MBNA's Worldpoints program which is what you describe as a "fake miles" card. Eaglepoints is USAA bank's version of a mileage card.

I'm already a Citi Aadvantage cardholder but the reason I'm interested in a "fake miles" credit card is that I'd like to increase the flexibility in obtaining rewards. The way these mileage cards are *supposed* to work is that you can get a ticket up to a certain dollar amount with the only restriction being a 21 day advance purchase. No black-out dates or airline inventory controls. So I was wondering if anybody had used these and could let me know if ease of redemption really is a plus with one of these cards.
