I have recently signed up for DeltaSkyMiles in attempt to earn enough frequent flyer miles to go on a trip. I joined a partner site that awards you miles for watching ads, which is great, and the miles are slowly piling up. I have never used frequent flyer miles in my life. How do they work? Can I use them for any flight at all? Or are there restrictions? I have been using e-miles to earn my miles; are there any other sites that you can earn miles on?

Hi, Every company (or joined companies) have their own rules. Some of them give mileage if you stay at certain hotels, others if you use a certain credit card. There are all kinds of posibilities to earn mileage. There are also retrictions on what you can do with your mileage. Do go to DeltaSkyMiles. They will answer there everyone of your questions. I´m adding up my miles at american but I only have enough miles to do from the US to Canada and back and I´m not interested. Luck. I hope this helps
