Issuance Ends on the 30th... Comprehensive, Value, and Accumulation Card Recommendations
Four Cards from Shinhan, BC, and Samsung... "Higher Mileage Accumulation Rate"
Card Gorilla revealed four Asiana mileage cards to secure before discontinuation on the 11th. They recommended products from Shinhan Card, BC Card, and Samsung Card (2 types).
The four cards were selected based on the first quarter Gorilla Chart. The Gorilla Chart is a popularity ranking based on the number of views and application conversions for each credit card product aggregated on the Card Gorilla website (PC and mobile integrated).
The number one card is the 'Asiana Shinhan Card Air 1.5.' It is a card with a high mileage accumulation rate. Issuance ends on the 30th. It earns 1.5 miles per 1,000 KRW spent as a basic accumulation. An additional 1.5 miles per 1,000 KRW are earned at overseas merchants. A total of 3 miles can be accumulated. The annual fee for the international version is 45,000 KRW.
The best value card is the 'BC Baro Air Plus Asiana.' Its issuance also ends on the 30th. It accumulates 1.3 miles per 1,000 KRW spent. An additional 300 miles are earned per 1 million KRW spent. It offers up to 3 months of interest-free installments for payments over 50,000 KRW at all domestic merchants. The annual fee is 19,000 KRW.
The top mileage accumulation cards are the 'Asiana Samsung Anypass Platinum Card' and the 'Asiana Samsung GN M Platinum Card.'
Both cards accumulate 1 mile per 1,000 KRW spent. At five coffee specialty stores?Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Pascucci, Twosome Place, and Tom N Toms?5 miles per 1,000 KRW can be earned.
The Samsung Anypass Platinum Card earns 2 miles per 1,000 KRW spent at restaurants, while the Samsung GN M Platinum Card earns 2 miles per 1,000 KRW spent at online shopping malls and home shopping.
Go Seung-hoon, CEO of Card Gorilla, said, "Asiana Airlines mileage cards were popular because their mileage accumulation rate per spending amount was higher than that of Korean Air mileage cards. Although policies such as mileage integration rates after the merger have not been announced, since the service is provided until the card’s expiration date, it is advisable to secure these valuable cards."
