Our Verdict
It’s always nice to see a higher than normal sign up bonus offered. The annual benefits seem to be very generous and will outweigh the $99 annual fee, especially for those who fly Asiana.
Asiana is a Star Alliance member and you can view their award chart below. This is to/from North America/Canada:
Unfortunately the 25,000 miles offered isn’t enough for much. The best value to me looks to be flying to Europe in first class for 100,000, although I rarely if ever fly first as I’d prefer to save my miles. I wouldn’t recommend this card unless you’re planning on flying with Asiana anyway, in which case it could represent good value.
Hat tip to View From The Wing
Do you know if you can transfer Asiania miles to other star alliance member such as United? What’s the ratio for that?
Thanks for the post! Do you know if this card is as churnable as the BoA Alaska card?
I pressume so because it’s a BoA card, but can’t be sure as I haven’t seen a lot of data points for it.
Thanks!
