 TITLE: What’s the Difference Between Cash Back, Points and Miles? CONTENT: ### Miles\nHistorically, the term \"miles\" only referred to rewards you could earn with frequent-flier programs. Now, there are a handful of airline rewards programs that use the term \"points\" instead, and there are also some general travel rewards programs that use miles.\nIn other words, there isn't a lot of difference between points and miles. They're simply terms for different types of rewards program currencies.\nLike points credit cards, miles credit cards can come with or without an annual fee, but cards with annual fees often offer bigger bonuses, better rewards and more valuable perks. Miles cards—especially airline credit cards—typically don't offer introductory 0% APR promotions. END
