I can't claim false advertising here: all of these articles are frequent flyer programs that are associated with credit cards but so are all the contemporary contents of Category:Frequent flyer programs. Affinity credit cards are ubiquitous with not only travel programs but alumni associations, sports teams, and charities but having a branded credit card isn't defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:12, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose It is a useful and helpful secondary category, and obviously it includes only a subset of articles included into Category:Frequent flyer programs directly. More frequent flyer miles are earned from credit cards than from flying. --Wiking (talk) 00:02, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Wiking: I'm questioning whether it is a subset though, other than a few early programs without a card. Are you aware of any contemporary frequent flyer programs that do not have an associated credit card? - RevelationDirect (talk) 09:59, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly there is a number of minor programs without a co-branded cards even in the US, not to mention numerous international programs. --Wiking (talk) 21:18, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at a number of programs and the closest thing I found to ones without credit cards was with some Middle Eastern airlines like this Qatari Airlines affinity card from an Islamic bank, since I'm not sure if it technically qualifies as a "credit" card. That's a pretty narrow potential exception though. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:12, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Much has changed in recent years. After reviewing the list again, I concur that the category has lost its usefulness. On a side note, years ago there weren't many wiki articles about FFP, and I've created redirects to corresponding sections of the articles about airlines, in order to include those redirects into FFP categories as needed. Now I see that a couple of them have become redundant and should be cleaned up. As for categorization, in an ideal world we would have an article about every notable credit card out there, with sub-categories by issuing bank, country, or affinity program (for co-branded cards). Alas, we have nothing of the kind here. --Wiking (talk) 16:12, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's not really a risk here of this category being overapplied, I just dislike non-container categories with the phrase "associated with" in them. But the proposed name is more succinct and follows the format of the few university specific template categories we have like Category:Syracuse University navigational boxes and Category:University of Nevada, Las Vegas navigational boxes. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:12, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
