Points cards

The best cards to earn points for flights.

Pick the one that fits where you live and how you fly. Tap any card to see where its points go.

1

You spend as usual

Groceries, rent, travel. The card gives you points for every euro or dollar.

2

Points move to an airline

Flexible points transfer to airline programmes, usually one to one. Only move them when you have found the seat.

3

You fly up front

Airlines in the same alliance share seats, so one programme can book many airlines.
