Earlier today we shared the leaked details of the $99 Cardless Avianca card. We now have the details regarding the Cardless Avianca Elite card with the $249 annual fee.
- $249 annual fee
- 60,000 points after $4,500 in spend within the first three months
- Earn 40,000 Miles After You Spend $25,000 On Eligible Purchases In The First 365 Days From Account Opening
- Silver status
I know some readers were hoping for gold status, but unfortunately that isn’t being offered. Don’t really see this being worth it unfortunately. Keep in mind you can only have one cardless card at a time as well.
VFTW is stating they’ll allow more than one card and move to a 5/24 sort of status in the future and eliminate the 1 per lifetime rule. https://viewfromthewing.com/step-up-your-travel-game-100000-miles-and-elite-status-with-new-avianca-card/
Cardless is kind of like an ex-wife. I just can’t go there anymore.
Indeed, that’s the tribble with them.
Looks like I will remain Cardlessless for the time being.
$249 annual fee? I want what they’re smoking! Pass.
Hard pass on this LM card as well. Low partner availability and expensive cancelation/rebanking fees make the LM less interesting.
Save you once-in-a-lifetime Cardless slot for a card that makes a difference in your world. Don’t squander it on “just some card.” That being said, given Cardless’ offerings, I can’t imagine what such a card might look like.
Candless? More like pointless…
It’s still cardless if no one gets it.
Other one is better, but that’s not saying much. This one is a no-go. However, the extra 10000 for being on the waiting list and the fact that the miles don’t expire (do they, with that one?) might be valuable to some, considering that these miles expire after only 12 months otherwise. Plus, to extend them, you have to earn them (as opposed to ANY transaction, such as using them).
It’s only ONE Cardless account for life. Active or closed. No product changes.
useless w/o gold for star alliance lounges GG
