Each program has different rules and agreements. Keep in mind that most programs can earn points or miles by traveling (with them, an airline partner, Amtrak, or designated cruise partners, car rentals, and hotel stays), or during everyday activities (restaurants, credit card partners, shopping and more). You need to determine which program(s) suits your lifestyle.
Credit card programs are not listed, so check with your credit card company.
