When I fly, I sign up for or get credit from the corresponding frequent flyer program. However, the only reward I've ever reaped was a few free round-trip southwest airlines tickets back when you only need 8 RTs. I sold them for $300/each since I usually flew routes that I could get for $100 RT. I did use the drink coupons though!
I much prefer getting between 2% and 5% cash back on my everyday expenses instead of airline miles. I don't want miles to "wag the dog" when I'm planning my trip. Airlines can go defunct along with their frequent flier miles whereas cash can earn returns until spent.
