Caribbean Miles - Gold, Silver and Bronze Cards
As a RBC Credit Card Holder for every $6.50 spent you earn one mile. For 15,000 miles you earn a round trip in the Caribbean. If you amass 30,000 miles you earn a round trip to the United States. Based on the amount of miles earned, even if you do not qualify for a ticket, you can use miles to reduce the price of your ticket.
Note Well๐๐๐๐๐๐
- All banks offer Frequent Flyer Miles Credit Cards which are linked to Caribbean Airlines Miles Programme; shop around
- Choose the lowest limit; you get to earn miles with the least financial exposure
- Pay off your credit card balances before the 13th of the month; paying 24% or 25% interest is painful to say the least; being financially literate is key.
- There is a Miles Processing Fee (MPF) and also "airline / travel taxes" on or around $800TT / $900TT (combined) when redeeming your miles for the ticket purchase
- This fee is nominal when you consider the full fare price
- You must book the ticket and pay the MPF 16 days prior to your date of travel otherwise you incur a further charge of $190TT. I just enjoyed a Miles Ticket to St. Lucia.
- My closing tips - pay all your bills with your credit card, these are payments that have to be made; so you achieve both goals. I pay for everything possible with my credit card and then some.
- Be prudent and spend wisely.๐
- BEST OF ALL, IF YOU DON'T WANT A CREDIT CARD, BUT TRAVEL OFTEN POP ONLINE AND COMPLETE YOUR APPLICATION AND YOU CAN GET YOUR MILES CARD.
