Hello folks,

I looked for information through the forums but didn't seem to find anything. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It looks like 2015 is the year of going home to Argentina, at least for some considerable period of time. I still keep a savings account at Banco Ciudad, but once settled I'd like to bank with somebody who will let me earn FF miles when using their credit cards.

I used to have an American Express (Argentina) purchase card which proved to be quite useful, as you could transfer your points to any airline of your choice through their Membership Rewards programme. Of course at the time you could also enter the Centurion Lounge at EZE with the card (it was the green one), so if I wanted to get lounge access again I would have to apply for a gold card, am I correct?

Some years before that I had a BBVA Visa card which would earn miles on LAN, but at some point BBVA's banking fees skyrocketed so I cancelled it.

And of course there are the bunch of banks that offer AR Plus credit cards. Is any of those really worth it? I heard from friends that they actually charge you to join AR Plus (at least Banco Nación does/used to), which is a setback for me.

So, which bank/credit card, if any, do you recommend?

Thanks.
