This eHow will help you acquire free frequent flyer mile numbers. In a matter of minutes you can have access to accumulating frequent flyer miles from most of the major world airlines.
Almost every airline in the world is part of a larger airline group. There are three: Sky Team (http://www.skyteam.com), Star Alliance (http://www.staralliance.com) and Oneworld (http://www.oneworld.com). It's free to sign up in every airline alliance and to start receiving frequent flyer miles every time you fly with one of their airline members. First, go to each of the airline alliance websites and decide which airline (from each airline alliance) you will be a card holder. For example, if you choose United Airlines (from Star Alliance), even though you have a United Airlines frequent flyer mile number, that number can be used to receive frequent flyer miles from any and all of the airlines that are a part of the Star Alliance.
Go to the airline website that you have chosen (for example, United Airlines). Now, sign up for a free frequent flyer mile account and upon completing the necessary fields you will receive a number immediately and/or in your email. Do this for each airline that you have chosen from each airline alliance to get a frequent flyer mile number.
You will now have three frequent flyer mile numbers with three different airlines representing one of the three airline alliances.
Now, every time you book a flight, give the airline the account number for the airline group that it is in. For example, if you signed up for a United Airlines number but you are flying Qatar Airways, that's fine. You will give Qatar Airways your United Airlines frequent flyer mile number and your flyer miles will be stored when you fly because Qatar and United are both in the Star Alliance.
Keep all your frequent flyer mile numbers in your wallet and don't forget to use your frequent flyer number in one of the following cases: a) when you are booking a flight, b) when you check-in to your flight, or c) after you have flown, in which case you will have to send your flight stubs to the frequent flyer mile program of the airline from which you hold your number.
