Earn Attractive Award Miles With Every Euro Spent

Air Berlin and Landesbank Berlin are launching a new credit card in early May: the airberlin Visa Card. This Visa Card is linked to topbonus, Air Berlin’s frequent flyer program. Cardholders earn attractive award miles with every payment.

The airberlin Visa Card is issued as a Classic, Silver or Gold Card, in line with the cardholder’s current frequent flyer status, either with or without a Business Package.

Customers who have a Visa Card with a Business Package will earn a topbonus award mile for every euro they spend using the card. During the start-up phase, i.e. until the end of May, cardholders will even earn double the topbonus award miles (2 award miles for every Euro spent). This means that award miles can be accumulated even faster for free flights or Business Class upgrades. Other benefits available with the Business Package: cardholders can use the Priority Pass Lounges and enjoy comprehensive insurance cover. They are insured if their flight or baggage is delayed, and also if they have to curtail their journey for health reasons. Insurance cover also includes the necessary medical assistance abroad.

"Particularly in a difficult economic climate customer focus is more important than ever,” said Ulf Hüttmeyer, Chief Financial Officer at Air Berlin. “We have opted for Visa because we want to offer our customers the best possible service and even more benefits."

"We have been issuing credit cards for Air Berlin since 2005. The airberlin Visa Card offers maximum flexibility in the way it is set up. After all, it combines the benefits of a credit card with the status services of the topbonus program," commented Hans-Jürgen Torkler, Area Manager DirektBankService at Landesbank Berlin AG.

"We are delighted that Air Berlin and Landesbank Berlin have chosen Visa as their payment partner," remarked Ottmar Bloching, General Manager Visa Europe in Germany. "The airberlin Visa Card is the perfect card for travel and everyday use, with all the benefits that modern card programmes offer their customers, including the unusual feature of award miles."
