If you fly frequently cross country, DON"T get this Chase Card.
25000 thousand miles to fly within the continental U.S. NOT BAD, you say. Well how about this-- the maximum ticket cost is $400. If your ticket to anywhere within the continental 48 costs $400.01, don't plan on using Chase Rewards. There is no option to pay the difference in cash AND no option to obtain a ticket over $400 by spendng more miles. You're just out of luck. Now you can spend 35,000 miles to fly to Hawaii, Alaska, the Carribbean, Mexico and Canada with a $600 ticket limit. (Yea, right.) But if you just want to see grandma in Podunk California and the best ticket you can get is $425, don't pack your bags. To add insult to this outrage, you have to purchase the ticket throught Chase's agent and a Chase representative told me that they don't have the discounted ticket prices available on-line.
This is as bad, or even worse, than the Capital One No Hassle rip-off card--which I also have.

Does anyone have a bank air travel rewards card that still is worth something or is it time to use only airline cards?
