Cardless and TAP Air Portugal officially announced today the launch of the TAP Miles&Go American Express® Card from Cardless. We already knew that a card was coming, but now we have all the details and the card is live for applications.
This strategic partnership marks TAP’s debut in the U.S. credit card market while expanding Cardless’ global airline portfolio. This exclusive credit card, underwritten by First Electronic Bank, is now available to U.S. consumers through the American Express network.
