Bmi has written to existing holders of its American Express credit card, advising of an upgrade to include a second points-earning Visa card.
The correspondence says that the new cards will arrive in November, allowing cardholders the choice of payment by either American Express or Visa.
Note that different earning rates will apply to the cards – 1.5 miles for every £1 spent on the American Express card, and 1.5 miles for every £2 spent on the Visa card.
Account holders will receive one monthly statement for payments made on both cards, with one credit limit and the same “standard interest rate for card purchases” applying to both cards.
Cardholders who do not wish to be upgraded to the two-card product should call 0800 028 3987 before October 25.
The credit card section of Bmi’s website has not yet been updated with these details, but more information can be seen at mbna.co.uk/help-faqs.
