Alitalia has ceased to exist for 10 months, since then, holders of old American Express credit cards with the symbol of the old Italian flag carrier have lost all benefits associated with the company and Stopped accumulating Millemiglia points.
In this article:
ITA Airways currently has no relationship with any financial partners and there are no credit cards that allow you to accumulate Volare points.
The best bonuses
To date, those who still have one of these cards in their wallets have received a number of promotions aimed at making up for the loss of Millemiglia points and benefits with the carrier. We have talked about various ad hoc offers, such as the one that gave away two award tickets against two tickets purchased to fly with ITA Airways.
A new dedicated promotion is now active for the holders of one of the three former Alitalia cards, which, for a fee, allows them to accumulate a substantial number of Membership Rewards points bonus.
The most generous offer is for Alitalia Platinum American Express holders: every €300 spent will earn 7500 bonus MR points, up to a maximum of 75k.
The offer is also valid for those who have the other cards: with the Gold, 5000 bonus MR points up to a maximum of 50k points are awarded for €200 in spending.
Bonus halved for the Green card: you will need to spend at least 1,000 to get 25k bonus points.
In conclusion
I have no idea how many people still hold these cards, certainly American Express must be credited with trying to make up for the "departure" of Alitalia, but it is also true that Amex does not Did anything to save the MM points that were lost or almost lost with the end of the program.
