MBNA and bmi in cards deal

MBNA has announced the launch of two new credit cards with bmi after signing a new deal to provide cards for Heathrow's second largest airline.

The new bmi American Express Credit Card from MBNA, offers 1.5 destinations miles for every £1 spent on the card, plus new Card members will earn 20,000 bonus destinations miles when they spend £250 on their card within 90 days of account opening, enough for a return flight to Europe.

This annual fee free card offers 0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 12 months from the date the account is opened (3% handling fee), plus 0% on card purchases for the first 3 months. After the introductory period the card will revert to a typical rate of 15.9% APR (variable).

The second card, the bmi plus American Express Credit Card from MBNA, offers card members two destinations miles for every £1 spent on the card, plus new card members will earn 24,000 bonus destinations miles when they spend £250 on their card within 90 days of account opening - again enough for a return flight to Europe.

The new card offers 0% p.a. on balance transfers for the first 12 months from the date the account is opened (3% handling fee), plus 0% on card purchases for the first 3 months. After the introductory period the card will revert to a standard typical rate of 17.9% APR (variable) (27.1% APR including an annual fee of £60).

In addition, if card members use the card to book flights through flybmi.com they will receive double destinations miles for every £1 spent and the credit card booking fee will be waived by the airline.
