frequent flyer miles

Travel loyalty points

Frequent flyer miles are credits earned through airline travel or affiliated purchases, redeemable for flights, upgrades, or other rewards.

Airlines use them to build customer loyalty.

Miles accumulate based on distance flown or dollars spent: I've got enough frequent flyer miles for a free trip to Hawaii.

The programs have grown complex, with elite status tiers and partner networks.
