Best ways to earn & redeem

Put your dining and travel spending on this card to earn at its highest rates, and let a different card handle the categories it does not bonus. Its dining rate is on the modest side for that category, so compare before you commit.

When you cash in, redeem the miles or points inside the single loyalty program this card is tied to. We value every point at a flat 1 cent, so treat any transfer upside as a bonus rather than the baseline — see what your points are really worth.

Features & benefits

No foreign transaction fees

Lounge access

2 Avianca lounge passes per year plus 1 companion pass per year, via complimentary LifeMiles Silver status
