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.

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.
Airlines credit cards offer a great opportunity to earn rewards for your flights. In order to choose the best you need to account all the factors. The crucial thing is to be aware of your credit score, as most travel cards require good and excellent credit. 1) First of all, determine what type of card you are looking for. A person that flies one airline exclusively, will benefit from a co-branded card, but a person that isn't that loyal won't get much from it.
