UnionBank Miles+ Visa Platinum Card introduced
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Visa and UnionBank have introduced the UnionBank Miles+ Visa Platinum Card, offering cardholders access to travel rewards, packages and discounts.
With the UnionBank Miles+ Visa Platinum Card, cardholders gain travel packages and are empowered to choose how to redeem their rewards points earned from every P25 spend on the card.
Earned points can be redeemed for anything related to travel, such as airline tickets from cardholders’ airline of choice, hotel/resort accommodations, travel packages, tours and land transfers. Special perks and discounts also await cardholders who book with UnionBank Travel Partners. Cardholders can also transfer Miles+ Points to Philippine Airlines’ Mabuhay Miles Frequent Flyer Program.
Cardholders will be treated to other benefits, including insurance coverage of up to P10 million. Cardholders also have complimentary access to the Club Manila Airport Lounge located in Naia Terminal 1 and can enjoy discounts at the Business Center. The Platinum Concierge serviced by Visa is available around the clock to assist in planning their next travel adventure.
