Budget carrier AirAsia is making flying more exciting. It partnered with Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) Bankard and Visa to spark a revolution in air travel by launching the new AirAsia Credit Card in the Philippines.
The AirAsia Credit Card can be a ticket to enjoying lowest flight fares across the airline’s extensive network.
When holders purchase with the AirAsia credit card, they get the chance to receive prices and privileges. Upon acquisition, a holder gets a welcome bonus gift amounting to 8,000 BIG Points. A traveller can also earn 1 AirAsia BIG point for as low as PhP22. One can enjoy a free flight when you redeem your BIG points when you spend at least PhP20,000 within the first sixty days from card issuance.
In addition to the free flights, holders can automatically qualify for the Freedom Flyer Platinum status for the first year of card issuance, which enables them to be among the first to know about AirAsia’s BIG sale, and also join the Final Call Sale where you can save up to 90% on AirAsia flights.
Creditcard holders can also skip the lines at the airport with the free priority check in, and get boarding and baggage each time they fly with AirAsia.
AirAsia Philippines CEO Captain Dexter Comendador says, “This dynamic collaboration between RCBC and AirAsia Berhad represents an exciting step forward in our ongoing journey towards providing modern travel experiences for our guests. With AirAsia credit card, we are providing amazing opportunities and exclusive privileges for every guest to create memorable travel experiences whether they are on ground shopping, dining or flying to AirAsia destinations in the Philippines connecting across all ASEAN countries including Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Middle East and Hawaii in United States.”
“Adding to the travel benefits, AirAsia credit cardholders will receive real-time SMS alerts that lets cardholders have security and control over their spending; conversion of straight purchases to zero percent at three months with Unli 0 to up to 36 months installment term with UNLI installment; access to cash anywhere in the world; free travel insurance and protection; and a worry-free and rewarding bills payment process.” RCBC Bankard Services Corp. President & CEO Simon Javier Calasanz said.
According to Stuart Tomlinson, Visa Country Manager for the Philippines and Guam, the credit card fuels the wanderlust spirit of FIlipinos, travel being one of the top categories of spend amongst Filipino cardholders, with 10% of Visa total spend being on airline tickets. “Filipinos can enjoy flight fares at competitive prices and the travel benefits that come along with it, while earning additional rewards when they spend using their cards.”
