Absolutely. My summer ticket last year... FF miles. This summer, too. The only difference is this year will be 1st class. Put all my house updates in 2010 on my card. That helped w/ my summer 2011 ticket. I always sign up for the 1.5 miles for every $1 spent promotions. Late last year I was doing some serious spending so that's covering my 1st class fare this summer w/ close to 30K miles left over. I literally charge everything I can to my AA CC... condo fees, car & homeowner insurance, cell phone, house phone, cable, internet, (bundled), all day to day pruchases. About the only time I use cash is in JA & when I buy frozen yogurt .
