Is there a non-airline affiliated CC that let's you combine your CC earned milees with your frequent flier miles? Here’s something I’ve not yet been able to determine.

I also recommend registering all of your credit cards with the free dining rewards networks that are run for the various airlines. For example, tonight I go to an Italian restaurant down the street that's one of many local restaurants in "the program" and use my US Airways World Mastercard (1.5 miles per dollar spent) which is also registered for Delta's Skymiles Rewards Network (10 miles per dollar spent) and through the current promotion the Rewards Network lets me review the restaurant (100 miles). So a $50 (including tip) meal for two gets me 675 miles (split between US Airways and Delta - but they're talking merger right now so it might not matter) ... and some quality Italian food of course.

I like the free bonus miles, but I also like picking my airline. I had so much trouble booking a free ticket with Delta I almost gave up my 29,000 miles I had with them, as they were about to expire and I did not want to buy anything just to renew them. (But I did anyway, its 29,000 miles) . So if you do pick a miles card with a particular airline, try to find out how hard it is to book a free trip, sometimes its near impossible.
