By GlobalData“As we are distributing one status mile per one Euro spent, we set us apart from our competitors, because many of them release status miles only for flights.
“In addition, the suspension of the expiry of the award miles is another strong benefit for our members.”
Wirecard Bank executive board member Alexander von Knoop said: “With the new credit card for the Austrian market, we have created an attractive product that brings many advantages for our customers.”
