Turkish Airlines has introduced a new credit card for US residents, the Miles&Smiles Premier Visa Signature Card. This card is designed to offer rewards and travel perks through the airline’s extensive network.

What Makes the Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles Card Stand Out?

The Miles&Smiles Premier Visa Signature Card allows cardholders to earn up to 3X miles on Turkish Airlines flights and various other purchases. You can also earn 2X miles on dining, groceries, entertainment, and lodging, and 1X mile on all other expenses.

Exclusive Benefits and Initial Offers

Upon approval, cardholders receive an initial bonus of 40,000 Miles&Smiles points after spending $3,000 within the first 90 days. Additionally, the first 5,000 approved applicants will receive a limited edition metal card.

The 40,000-point bonus is enough for a one-way economy ticket from North America to Istanbul (IST). The card also includes Visa Signature benefits like 24/7 concierge services for booking travel, event tickets, and dining reservations. Cardholders get special offers and upgrades at over 900 Visa Signature Luxury Hotels globally, along with savings on car rentals.

How to Apply for the Miles&Smiles Premier Visa Signature Card

Applying for the card is straightforward. You need to complete the application form with personal details including your name, address, date of birth, income, housing status, and ID verification.

Card Limitations and Fees

The Miles&Smiles Premier Visa Signature Card has a $99 annual fee. It does not offer some typical co-branded credit card perks, such as lounge access, free Wi-Fi, extra checked baggage, or priority boarding. Additionally, miles earned with the card expire after five years.

Why Turkish Airlines Targets the US Market

This card provides US residents with a new way to earn award travel within the Star Alliance network. Turkish Airlines’ partnership with United Airlines allows members to earn and redeem miles across both airlines.

Turkish Airlines currently services 14 destinations in the US from its Istanbul base and plans to expand to 20 destinations. These include major airports such as JFK, LAX, and ORD. The airline recently celebrated reaching 20 million users in its Miles&Smiles loyalty program, which now offers various benefits, including complimentary Wi-Fi on flights and attractive award redemption options.
