Our Verdict
It’s always nice to see a higher than normal sign up bonus offered. The annual benefits seem to be very generous and will outweigh the $99 annual fee, especially for those who fly Asiana.
Asiana is a Star Alliance member and you can view their award chart below. This is to/from North America/Canada:
Unfortunately the 25,000 miles offered isn’t enough for much. The best value to me looks to be flying to Europe in first class for 100,000, although I rarely if ever fly first as I’d prefer to save my miles. I wouldn’t recommend this card unless you’re planning on flying with Asiana anyway, in which case it could represent good value.
