Terming India a strategically important market and a “hot spot”, Deutsche Bank and Lufthansa German Airlines on Wednesday  launched the Miles & More Credit Card in association with Visa International. This credit card packages several features that international frequent flyers look for, and is available in two variants — Visa Platinum and Visa Signature.

The Miles & More [M&M] Credit Card gives cardholders automatic M&M membership with access to the M&M programme, the frequent flyer programme of Lufthansa. The M&M programme allows members to earn award miles whenever they fly with Lufthansa and other partner airlines, stay at a variety of partner hotels, rent a car or use products and services of other M&M partners. It offers the benefits of the Priority Pass programme which gives customers access to over 500 VIP airport lounges across the world.

Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Peter Schedl, Head of Private & Business Clients Asia-Pacific, Deutsche Bank, said that the launch of the card gives customers access to a new dimension of benefits.

In addition to the  range of benefits based on the M&M programme, the new credit card provides a host of additional travel benefits such as exclusive offers from Matrix international calling cards and Sixt Rent a Car. The credit card holders will also enjoy special attractive benefits such as a 24-hour concierge service, specific insurance Cover, zero percent fuel surcharge and an unmatched fraud cover with ‘db Total Protect’.
