TAP Air Portugal just launched its first US credit card
TAP Air Portugal and Cardless have launched a new co-branded credit card in the US. On all purchases, you’ll earn TAP Miles&Go miles and benefit from a limited set of travel perks. This card is part of American Express’s network, offers travel perks and earns TAP Miles&Go miles.
As a welcome bonus, new card members can earn up to 60,000 bonus miles with TAP Miles&Go American Express® Card. Here is a closer look at the card, its benefits, and whether it deserves a spot in your wallet.
The TAP Miles&Go American Express Card offers a number of benefits on TAP Air Portugal, a European airline with hubs in Lisbon (LIS) and Porto (OPO). Besides flights to seven US airports, the airline offers connections to most major European cities.
Among the benefits of this new travel credit card are preferred boarding on TAP flights, two TAP Premium Lounge passes per year, and two extra checked bags on TAP flights.
TAP purchases earn three miles per dollar, while ride-share, hotels, and rental car purchases earn two miles per dollar. For all other purchases, one mile is earned per dollar spent.
In addition to earning status miles, the card is also eligible for elite status with TAP Air Portugal. The cardholder earns one status mile for every five miles earned, up to 10,000 miles per year. Because TAP is a Star Alliance member, its elite members can enjoy reciprocal benefits with other Star Alliance members, such as United Airlines and Air Canada.
Currently, new card holders can earn 60,000 bonus miles after spending $2,500 within 90 days of approval. By November 30, 2023, this offer will expire, and the bonus will decrease to 40,000 miles.
