Low foreign exchange fee of just 1.85% on international purchases, both in-store and online; and
Automatic AirAsia Platinum membership status that lets guests enjoy priority check-in, boarding, and xpress baggage on AirAsia flights.
Additionally, as AirAsia rewards is the loyalty program integrated with MOVE, Capital A’s online travel agency, cardholders can redeem their points not just on AirAsia flights, but also across a global network of 700 airlines and more than 1 million hotels, giving travelers the ultimate freedom to personalize their journeys.
“This partnership not just gives our customers a credit card, we’re opening the runway to a lifestyle that’s rewarding, accessible, and globally connected,” said Diyao Leong, Head of Rewards Regional Partnerships at AirAsia rewards.
RCBC also emphasized the value of the partnership in enhancing customer experience across the industries. Its Credit Cards President and CEO Arniel Vincent Ong shared, “The new AirAsia Platinum Credit Card is designed to integrate travel and lifestyle benefits seamlessly.
