These U.S. Airlines Have The Best Frequent Flier Programs of 2018

A new study from WalletHub has revealed the top rewards program among U.S. airlines.

If you’re an avid traveler, you probably have dipped your toes into the world of frequent flier programs. Dedicated travelers can amass points or miles that allow them to nab everything from seat upgrades to free flights. Each airline has a slightly different system, which can make deciding where to spend your money (and accrue bonuses) a bit confusing.
