Cardless Launches TAP Miles&Go Amex Card

Wait so TAP charges 100k one-way from the US to Europe/North Africa and you find that to be a decent rate? That doesn't sound like a good rate at all - even United is still cheaper than that

The problem isn't TAP but Cardless.

PSA: Cardless has a tendency to backtrack on benefits with many cards they launch. From discontinuing a card to devaluing their benefits.

Gary even took their money and guarantee (like Tim Dunn?) that their launch card doesn't count towards 5/24. He forgot to say it would get 5/24 a few months later.

Tim Dunn was a long time Delta employee, who's happy to use his real name in online comments.

I'd lean more towards "I'm still part of the team!" near mental illness than "They're still paying me!", but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Just a terrible run airline! It’s up for sale again but as usual the government is asking to keep a controlling stake lol what a joke! They can’t run it on their own and they want to sell it but still have a say on how it run, fake state aid as usual. They should’ve just let the JetBlue founder keep the airline and it would’ve been better now he competes with them to Brazil with azul lol

Well, I applied two hours ago and got instant denial ☹ The application process was annoying as it required to submit pics (via cellphone) of your id and a selfie! Reason for the denial: "Number of months since the most recently opened credit card account." Even with a credit score of 820 as stated on the denial letter via email. Last card I opened was the Barclays American AAdvantage Aviator Mastercard on 9/1/23.

"Note that while American Express is the processing network for the card, this isn’t a traditional American Express card, in the sense that it wouldn’t have the same application restrictions as you’d usually find on Amex cards (in other words, it wouldn’t count toward the Amex five credit card limitation, or any other traditional Amex card restriction)."

Thank you! Of all the bloggers I've read so far who are writing about this card, so far you are the only one to address this point, which was the first question I had about it.

I was thinking of picking up the card but don’t have any intermediate travel needs on TAP. One think to keep in mind is the expiration:

“TAP Miles&Go are valid for three (3) years from date of collection, except when otherwise specified.”

I wonder if you have a security alert in your credit report or something. I was approved and didn't have to upload an ID or selfie. (And I've already added it to my Google Wallet and used it for a first charge.)

Thank you Chris. I called Cardless to confirm and they told me they do ask for pic of ID and selfie on some cases...not sure why I was selected. I did get an email offer from TAP Miles&Go to join the waitlist for the card like three weeks ago for an additional 5,000 bonus miles; maybe they wanted to make sure it was actually me who had pre-reserved this offer They said I can reapply in 45 days.

Can anyone let me know the first 6 digits of the card number its called a BIN = Bank Identification Number please thanks

Decided to try this card as have several trips to Portual/EU in the near future and I actually quite like TAP's transatlantic business class service.

I tried a couple of transactions on giftcards.com and they were declined. Kind of odd: "Transactions may be declined for a variety of reasons...For this transaction, the reason for the decline is because we do not allow purchases of gift cards."
