This, of course, implies that you have the credit score and financial discipline it requires to properly use a mileage card. These cards carry a far higher interest rate than most others, and thus should ONLY be used if you're going to pay your balance off each month.
some people either don't qualify for the cards, or (wisely) understand they don't have the financial discipline to pay off their cards in full each month.
that's probably the minority of FTers, but I'm sure there are a few out there.
