"I will sign this legislation into law shortly,'' Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address this morning, "and we'll begin making the immediate investments necessary to put people back to work doing the work America needs done.''
Although Obama had courted Republicans to support the plan, it passed the House on Friday by 246-183 without a single Republican vote, and it passed the Senate by 60-38 with the help of just three Republican senators. Republicans have denounced the president's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as too laden with big spending and too short on tax relief.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R- Alaska), delivering the Republican Party's radio and Internet response to the president today, said: "Republicans have been supportive of a stimulus plan all along. Yet, over the past few weeks, a serious difference of opinion has emerged over what an economic recovery plan should include. Democrats, it seems, settled on a random dollar amount in the neighborhood

I don't know about you, but I've never seen a section entitled "credit cards." Travel was obviously the best option since I'm asking about air miles.
I've had one for 15 years. I run most everything through it and therefore get many free trips each year. Also, (depending on standard versus gold? or maybe all of them),you get a $50 companion fare voucher which lets you fly a companion along when you buy a regular-priced ticket (normal selling price, not a full-fare coach price) for about $80 ($50+taxes+security fee). That could save $400 to $1000.
As someone noted, if you're late in paying, you get dinged. That is true of all credit card companies. Don't spend more than you have, pay your bills on time, and take the perks. If you can't manage that, then the fewer credit cards you have, the better.
All mileage plans are basically evil. The encourage you to rack up miles, but they don't make it easy to book the free trips. Alaska's plan is less evil than most. The award levels are relatively low, they fly to cool places (literally, like Barrow but also MCO, MIA, SAN, DEN, BOS, EWR, SEA, PDX) SFO, LAX, DFW, PHX, etc). Plus Cacun, Mexico City and lots of West Coast Mexico.
If Alaska Airlines flies where you want to go, yes the card is a good one. The best that I know of. Their miles don't expire so you're not forced to use the miles before you want to. You can spend the miles on their plan partners (NW, Quantas, American, etc) so you go pretty much anywhere. But while domestic Saver Awards are 20,000 miles round trip (and can include a layover on route), overseas travel is 50,000-90,000 miles per person. Usually it is better to pay for foreign travel (and earn miles) and redeem your miles on expensive domestic routes.
Oh, and Alaska lets you book a one-way award for half as much (10,000 miles for domestic Saver, 20,000 for Peak). That's a nice option sometimes. It also simpflies the search and reservation process. You could, lacking enough miles, do award travel one way and pay to fly back.
7-8 years ago, I figured my Alaska miles were worth 1.5 to 1.7 cents each. That's about what I could save if I booked award travel instead of buying a ticket. Occasionally more, but that was my decision-point. Now, with airfares up all over, I'm using them if I save 2 to 2.3 cents per mile or better.
