Understand the local earning route

Choose the market where you live and can access banking products. Confirm the issuer鈥檚 residency, account and underwriting requirements. Card rewards are recorded in their own currency; airline conversion rules are separate.

Compare recurring card fees plus any required rewards fee, first-year charges, transaction exclusions, rounding and the exact conversion to your chosen airline. A fee waiver or bonus only applies when its conditions are met.
