Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard
Waived for Miles & More Senator and HON Circle members while they hold that status.
Credits 1
Every statement credit on this card, how often it comes back and when it resets.
Every year
Economy companion ticket after your first purchase and again each account anniversary. It needs a paid Economy fare in H, M, Y or B class on Lufthansa-operated flights from the U.S. to Europe, the Middle East, Africa or Asia, and covers only the companion's base fare (both pay taxes and surcharges); booked by phone with the Miles & More companion desk. ~$100 conservative value.
Perks 2
Benefits you use rather than credits that post to your statement.
2 one-time Lufthansa Business Lounge vouchers after the first purchase and each year after the annual fee posts; valid 12 months, for the cardmember or a companion with a same-day Lufthansa Group boarding pass.
Once per calendar year, convert 5,000-25,000 miles earned on card purchases into Points and Qualifying Points (5,000 miles = 20 Points + 20 QP) toward Frequent Traveller/Senator.
Also included
- No foreign transaction fees
- 0% intro APR on balance transfers for 15 billing cycles
- Chip card
Before you apply
Barclays’s application rules, as reported by people who applied. Banks don’t publish most of these. All banks’ rules
Barclays may turn you down if you’ve opened about 6 or more cards at any bank in the last 24 months. Too many recent accounts can lead to a denial, though it isn’t a hard cutoff.
Barclays usually approves about one new personal card every 6 months. Your odds of a denial go up inside that window.
