Earns Miles&Smiles miles directly
No card in our list earns this currency directly yet.
How to pick the right card
- 1.Start with the sign-up bonus.It's usually the biggest points haul of year one — but check the minimum spend and whether you can meet it without buying things you don't need.
- 2.Weigh the earn rate against the annual fee. A higher points-per-dollar rate only pays off if your spend is large enough to outrun the fee.
- 3.Decide: direct or flexible. Earning Miles&Smiles miles directly is simplest; earning transferable bank points keeps your options open if your plans (or Turkish Miles&Smiles's value) change.
- 4.Have a redemption in mind.Points are only worth earning if you'll use them — check what Miles&Smiles miles actually books before you apply.
Frequently asked
- What's the best credit card for Turkish Miles&Smiles points in Australia?
- No card in our list earns Miles&Smiles miles directly. The usual approach is a card that earns flexible bank points which can then transfer in.
- Is it better to earn Miles&Smiles miles directly or transfer points in?
- Direct-earning cards are simpler and lock you into one currency. Cards that earn flexible bank points keep your options open — you can transfer to Turkish Miles&Smiles or to a different program later — but transfers are one-way and ratios change, so they suit people who value flexibility over simplicity.
- Do sign-up bonuses count toward Miles&Smiles miles?
- Yes — a card's sign-up bonus is usually the single biggest chunk of points you'll earn in year one, often dwarfing everyday spend. Weigh the bonus (and any minimum-spend requirement) against the annual fee when comparing cards.
