Different card tiers offer varying point accumulation rates, with the Premium Select and Premium cards providing accelerated points and additional perks like diamond status upgrades and reduced foreign currency conversion fees.
Additional benefits include priority upgrades, preferred seating, discounted extra baggage, and special promotions such as 50% off point redemptions on Tuesdays and exclusive discounts at the Fly Store. Starting in 2027, a new buy-one-get-one-free flight ticket offer will be introduced.
