Help - which frequent flyer programs give out plastic cards upon signing up?
 
Hey :D

Can anyone tell me which airlines give out plastic cards when you sign up for their frequent-flyer program?

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm sorry to post the thread here!

"Help!" would be a great title for a Beatles movie; for an FT thread, not so much.

You should alert a Moderator by clicking on the red triangle, and request that your thread be moved to the appropriate forum (Information Desk?), and be given a descriptive thread title to give FTers a sense of what the thread is all about.

I agree with guv1976, this thread is probably best located in the Information Desk forum. I've moved it there, and updated the thread title to make it more accurate.

I know JAL and ANA do, as I have their cards without ever having flown them.

But from how long ago? Just because an airline used to do so a few years ago does not prove that it still does it today. Many programs have cut back on sending out plastic membership cards in recent years.

I have a LH one from fairly recently

Air Canada, ANA, Asiana.

I also got both JAL and ANA recently, within the past few months. Both sent me plastic membership cards.

Recently received ANA card :)

I am in search of other cards.

Thanks for your answers.

CX does, but it'll cost you 50 USD (unless you have one of their co-branded CC's)

Hmm..that's quite a markup on a 20 cent piece of plastic.
