Best Frequent Flyers Credit Cards

[gary176]

Hi all,

I am next to SA and so far loving it.

I am in look out for a FF credit card, essentially collect FF points for every ZAR I spend. I always pay my bills in full so higher interest rates or monthly feel is not a problem.
What I am looking for is a card that gives me max FF points.
I think SAA is part of star alliance so I can use my points with multiple airlines (once travel opens)

can you please provide your insights as I have limited knowledge which one should I go for or what options are available in SA.
Thanks

I wouldn't trust SAA with anything of value, they are bankrupt and under business rescue

I have a british airways card (absa) which I think new signups has been discontinued but the FF rate is very low (less than 1% value) and reward flights were never available when I wanted to fly.

I'm not aware of any other cards available in SA

You are better off using a reward scheme like Ebucks/Discovery miles/Ucount from a bank then buy your tickets with a discount etc

In SA FF was only worth it if you traveled for business and you could claim those miles for yourself
