Many personal finance magazines and blogs on travel hacks have articles that compare the frequent flyer mile programs of the major airlines.

Some rewards programs offer higher points-for-miles exchange rates than others. Others offer better selections of vacation packages. But some cards only work with a limited number of airlines. Make sure that your choice of frequent flyer program is aligned with any rewards programs you are already enrolled in. Enrolling is usually as simple as going on the website of the airline carrier, creating a frequent flyer rewards account, and agreeing to abide by the terms and conditions of the frequent flyer miles program. Some companies have prohibitions against this, but many companies, especially smaller ones, do not. If you work for a company that lets you take advantage of those miles, ask the appropriate staff person to start booking your business flights on the airline where you have your frequent flyer miles program set up. Make sure to check with a tax professional to determine any tax-related liabilities you may incur if you receive frequent flyer miles from employer-paid business travel.

For example, you may be able to earn an all-inclusive destination vacation package in a shorter period then it would take you to accumulate the miles necessary for airfare to the same vacation spot. Make sure you look at the rewards offered by both points and miles and assess both in terms of dollars and time spent to earn the trips you want.
