Brim Financial has launched a new limited-time offer for its Air France KLM World Elite Mastercard.
If you apply by May 31, 2023, you’ll earn 100 XP points, enough to earn you instant Silver status within the Air France/KLM Flying Blue program.
Air France KLM World Elite Mastercard by Brim
Launched by Brim Financial in October 2022, the Air France KLM World Elite Mastercard is the only Air France/KLM co-branded credit card in Canada.
However, this card was launched without any Flying Blue miles as a welcome bonus, greatly dampening its appeal.
Instead, the welcome offer has consisted of 30 XP or “Experience Points” that could get you closer towards achieving or maintaining Flying Blue elite status.
As for the earning rate on spending, the card offers the following:
- 5 bonus miles per €1 spent on Air France and KLM flights
- Up to 30 miles per $1 (CAD) spent on merchant partners
- 2 miles per $1 (CAD) spent at restaurants and bars
- 1 mile per $1 (CAD) spent on everything else
The accelerated earn rate at restaurants and bars edges out a few other similar airline credit cards, like the RBC Cathay Pacific Visa Platinum, which only earns 1.25 Asia Miles per dollar spent on foreign currency.
However, it bears repeating that the card’s lack of a welcome bonus of Flying Blue miles puts it at a disadvantage compared to most airline co-branded credit cards issued in Canada.
