I listen to a Clark Howard on the radio occasionally and he says the worst thing you can do is carry around a debit card because if it is stolen or lost, you could lose all your money in your checking and savings accounts. You are protected if you use a credit card. He says the best card to get is one that gives you a % of what you charge back at the end of the year. But if you have a card that you can actually get free miles that are redeemable (some are difficult to use) then I say go for it. Only you can know if you spend more and if you pay it off each month, good for you!
