Miles with Mortgage ?
Is anyone paying there mortgage with there mileage card ?
I have tried to at Wa Mutual. They want to do a cash advance
which adds a fee and I don't think you get mileage. Of course
I wouldn't run the balance on the card. But with several loans
I'd fly a lot quicker.
Any advice ?

The June issue of InsideFlyer magazine talks about the rise in mileage earning debit cards. Almost all programs now offer them (it's an electronic version of paying by check) and they do earn frequent flyer miles when purchasing money orders. American and Continental offer them earning one miles per dollar spent while most of the others are one mile per two dollars spent. With an average mortgage payment of $1,100, that's just over 500 miles per month for most people.
