Last Recorded Benefits

Confirm availability and enrollment requirements with the issuer.

  • Miles post directly to Miles&Smiles, home of 7.5k intra-US Star Alliance awards and cheap business class to Europe
  • Visa Signature concierge and Luxury Hotel Collection perks
  • No foreign transaction fees; metal card for early applicants

Why it earns its spot

  • +Miles&Smiles sweet spots make these miles worth more than most airline currencies
  • +40k bonus on $3k spend is a strong ratio for a $99 card
  • +Only way to earn the currency from US card spend besides transfers

Where it costs you

  • No elite status earning, lounge access or free bags despite the airline branding
  • Turkish award booking is notoriously finicky to ticket
  • 2x categories are modest for a fee card

The Compound Verdict

The value here is the currency, not the card. Miles&Smiles still prices Star Alliance awards at numbers other programs abandoned years ago, and this Imprint-issued card is the only direct US earning pipe. Take the 40k bonus, put your dining and grocery spend here when topping off an award, and tolerate the missing airline perks.
