Aegean Alpha Bank Bonus Visa Promotion
I noticed that the Aegean web site has a credit card promotion with Alpha Bank... get the card and earn 5000 miles to get Blue status instantly and then until the end of the month, you can get another 5000 miles...

Now If I can only figure out how to get that card from the US.

Usually the Chip+PIN is just an addition to the traditional credit card system. It does not mean that the card cannot be used with the magnetic strip and/or carbon copy of the number.
The problem with the Aegean Visa is that you will need a Greek tax id. Which most people on this board probably do not have.

I meant more that most American credit cards only have the magnetic stripe/raised numbers, and of the few that have a chip, most are Chip+Sign, no good at kiosks and such that insist on a PIN.
But interesting that they insist on a Greek tax ID while the Cyprus card doesn't seem to have a similar requirement? Are they more open to non-residents coming in and doing their banking? Kind of like how in China there are one or two banks that don't ask too many questions and will give you a credit card no matter where you came from or how long you're there for if you put down a sufficient security deposit.

Going by the application form though, there's no option to list an address outside Greece.
Hope that clarifies a couple of things.
