Cardless and LATAM Launch Two New Credit Cards
Cardless and LATAM have launched two new credit cards. The partnership was already announced earlier this year, but now the cards are live for applications. There’s a no-fee LATAM Airlines Mastercard and a $99 fee LATAM Airlines World Elite Mastercard.
Created and distributed by Cardless and issued through First Electronic Bank, both cards are available to U.S. consumers, and offer the ability to earn miles, Qualifying Points toward LATAM Pass Elite status, no foreign transaction fees, and other perks, such as lounge access and seat upgrades.
Miles can be redeemed to take advantage of LATAM group’s global connectivity and extensive coverage of South America, with over 133 routes to 20 countries, as well as with LATAM’s partner Delta and other partner airlines.
New users will easily be able to apply for a Cardless card using their smartphone and, if approved, the virtual card can be delivered to their mobile wallet in seconds. The physical card will carry no card number in order to protect the user from fraud. Let’s see more details about the cards.

Conclusion
The partnership was already announced, and now we have two cards instead of one. The sign-up bonuses are not very enticing, but I guess it could be worth it for those who want some extra LATAM Pass miles.
The LATAM Airlines World Elite Mastercard will be the first Cardless credit card with an annual fee.
Also keep in mind that if you know someone who has a Cardless card, they can invite you to apply, and they’ll earn a $100 referral bonus as well.
