I rack up airline miles when possible… the miles are “ok” for free stuff but I want the status – free lounge access, always upgraded to first class etc…. that’s where miles really shine for me … everyone has different priorities…

I think I have 75000 miles roughly. I think that would buy me one flight anywhere in the CONUS. Or for maybe 45000 I could upgrade an UPGRADE ELIGIBLE ticket to first class.

What kind of miles are transferrable between air carriers? What does a “mile” actually equate to in dollars saved? I presume some credit cards are better for this?
