In general it's possible to earn miles with Free Spirit, the frequent flyer program of Spirit Airlines, because it allows to earn miles every time you fly. Also it gives you a 15,000-mile sign-up bonus. Spirit World Mastercard cardholders earn 100% of the miles flown when using the card to purchase flights. If you are short of miles you can also buy Free Spirit Miles for your award booking starting from $25 for 1,000 miles. But of course this is not a really useful deal. To earn rewards on everyday purchases you can consider other options like a general travel credit card. It this case you might expect a co-branded Spirit credit card to be the best way to earn Free Spirit rewards, you would be mistaken. General cards with travel rewards allow you to redeem points toward any travel purchases, not just those made with one airline, and have generous rewards programs with different travel perks.

What is the best credit card for you depends on your travel habits and needs. You should consider several things before you apply for a travel credit card.

You are right, the Allegiant credit card comes with $59 annual fee. However, they no longer charge the foreign transaction fee. If you want to have a credit card that you can use for miles earning for Allegiant Air flights, you should consider travel rewards credit cards that are not tied to any airline. These cards allow you to earn rewards on all purchases and redeem them for any flights you wish. You can also consider credit cards with no foreign transaction fees to see if there is the right credit card for you.
A foreign transaction fee is a fee that you are charged every time you use your card to make a purchase in another country. Usually this fee is charged as a percentage of the purchase - common it is 2%-3%. If you are a frequent traveler and shop abroad, it's better to apply for a credit card with a no foreign transaction fee. What is more, even if you're using your credit card to pay at a non-U.S. retailer, you may be charged a fee. Many credit card issuers don't add foreign transaction fees to their credit cards.
