 TITLE: How Can a Credit Card Help You Earn Airline Elite Status? CONTENT: What Is Airline Elite Status?\n-----------------------------\nElite status is a special rank that airlines give their most frequent flyers to thank them for their business. Requirements vary from airline to airline, but you'll usually have to fly more than a certain number of miles or flights and spend more than a specific amount on tickets each year to earn it.
