Coming soon! The new Avianca LifeMiles credit card is expected to launch within a few weeks which you can earn up to a 60,000 Avianca mile sign-up bonus after meeting spending requirements. The card offers 3X Avianca miles per $1 you spend on Avianca, 2X Avianca miles per $1 you spend at gas stations and grocery stores, and 1X Avianca mile per $1 you spend on regular purchases. You’ll also get two 50% discounts on award tickets redeemed for travel from the US to Central America or Colombia along with free checked bag for travel between the US and Central America. There is absolutely no foreign transaction fees and get 15% discount when you purchase Avianca miles.
Previously, Avianca Airlines abruptly ended their credit card relationship with U.S. Bank, so anyone who has an Avianca Credit Card issued by U.S. Bank, will automatically be converted to a U.S. Bank FlexPerks VISA card with a sign-up bonus of 20,000 FlexPerks points when you make a spend of $500 or more within a given 3 months. As for Avianca, there’s a high possibility that they will be partnering with another card issuer on the premise that they usually sell their miles at a discount.
Editor’s Note: Existing cardholders were also told that they will have the chance to earn a sign up bonus of up to 60,000 miles based on their historical level of use of the credit card. Register here to learn more.

Conclusion:
If you’re a current Avianca Credit Cardholder, your issued credit card from U.S. Bank will be converted to a Flexperks VISA with a chance to earn 20,000 Flexperks points (possibly up to 60,000 if our credit history is flawless). Now the previous Avianca card offered some pretty nice perks and benefits including two discounted award tickets for travel and so much more. It’s currently unknown as to what Avianca has in store for us, but in the near future, we’re assuming they’d issue a card with Barclaycard, Bank of America, or so on so forth.
