Four major reward programs that involve airline partners, hotels and car-rental companies in the U.S. and Asia are listed in the table on this page. The table shows the wide range of hotel properties participating in bonus-, double- or triple-mileage promotions. Among the hotels, mileage points are rewarded under subsets of membership clubs, such as Starwood and Marriott. Be sure to show your membership cards upon check-in at the airport or hotel reservations desk. Flashing a Starwood card, for example, can get you on a shorter waiting line-even one with a red carpet! Rewards shared among carriers that are members of the same alliance include seat upgrades and lounge access. To start getting perks at many of these programs, travelers don't always need to book business- or first-class flights.
