Cardless Abolishes Lifetime Card Limit
In the wild world of fintech, Cardless has been a notable player, issuing a range of travel-focused credit cards across the United States. These cards cater to some fancy partners like Avianca, LATAM, and Qatar Airways. But here’s the kicker—historically, Cardless had this infuriating policy limiting customers to one card per lifetime. Good news, folks, that headache-inducing rule has been tossed in the bin, thanks to some hot-off-the-press news from Travel on Point(s).
Cardless now lets consumers get more than one card
It’s shocking really, but in the world of credit cards, Cardless decided that one was the loneliest number. Consumers were only permitted one Cardless product in their lifetime. Sure, credit card companies love restrictions, but this one seemed slightly over the top. People have legitimate reasons to collect more plastic from the same issuer, right?
Well, thanks to Mark Ostermann’s deep dive, it turns out that rule is history. Yes, comrades, you can now bag multiple Cardless cards. Verified info from real humans confirms this delightful change, with a Cardless representative shining some light on the new terms.
Here’s the skinny: You can snag each specific card just once. If there’s a family of cards—like variations within a brand—you can pick only one from that tribe. Also, after getting approved, wait 60 days before going for another; if denied, give it 45 days. Sounds fair enough and, quite frankly, it’s about time they did this.
To give you some background, if this is the first you’re hearing of Cardless, they’ve been shaking things up in the credit card sandbox. What makes them stand out? Speed and cost. Cardless can pop out new cards faster and cheaper than the big dogs, introducing co-brand card portfolios that might not stand a chance otherwise.
There are some compelling Cardless products!
I must admit, I was never on team Cardless, mostly because of their archaic policy on card ownership. But now, with that roadblock removed, I’m eyeing a couple of their offerings like a hawk eyeing an unsuspecting field mouse.
The premium Cardless Qatar Airways card is a juicy peach of an option. Fantastic bonus? Check. And for an entire year, you’ve got Privilege Club Gold status, which upgrades you to oneworld Sapphire. What does that mean? Lounge access galore on domestic American trips. It’s a no-brainer if you fancy traveling like a dignitary.
There’s also the premium Cardless Avianca card, which is nothing to sneer at. The welcome offer is attractive, and then there’s the lifemiles+ lite membership, giving you perks galore—don’t we all love ourselves some perks? And yes, you can climb the membership ladder to unlock even better goodies.
Bottom line
Well, there you have it. Cardless has cracked open the vault, and consumers are no longer confined to just one card per lifetime. With the possibility of snatching up one product per card family, this marks a significant leap forward. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about diving into the Cardless pool but were put off by their old rule, it might now be the perfect time to make your move.
