BalticMiles MasterCard is a credit card issued by the Nordea bank, and it also serves as a BalticMiles membership card for the loyalty programme of airBaltic. Points are accumulated each time the card is used anywhere in the world
Riga – Tero Taskila, Chief Commercial Officer of airBaltic: “The first BalticMiles MasterCard credit card was issued last November, and now owners of the card have bought goods and services at a value of LVL 1 million. That means that they’ve totted up one million BalticMiles points. Now all participants in the BalticMiles programme can spend their points at the new BalticMiles Internet superstore and with our program partners. We’re continuing to look for new partners for our loyalty programme so as to establish BalticMiles as an alternative currency.”
