Flybe to launch credit card
FlyBe is to launch a ‘Spend & Fly’ Mastercard credit card in January.
The airline has signed a multi-million pound deal with LaSer UK, whose parent group comprises BNP Paribas, Europe’s leading bank and Galleries Lafayette, France’s largest retailer.
Users will automatically receive one free return flight upon their first transaction.
The credit card will be integrated with Flybe’s rewards4All frequent flyer scheme and reward users for ongoing spending on the card.
For every £250 accrued on the Flybe MasterCard, members will receive one point. When 16 points have been collected, members will receive further free return flights. This equates to a free flight for every £4,000 spent.
The new chip and PIN credit card will help bolster Flybe’s ancillary revenue.
Chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said: “The Flybe MasterCard is our latest product innovation which directly benefits our customers and will also add value to the company as a whole.
“We are constantly looking for ways to grow the Flybe brand and directly respond to customer needs. The new credit card will do exactly this by adding value to our existing customer service offering and setting us apart from other low cost carriers.”
