Virgin Atlantic
Midwest Airlines

Both send out credit card type plastic cards

Virgin Atlantic sends out a different card everytime you qualify to the next mileage level e.g. from Red, to Silver, then Gold

Actually not anymore, 1 mile is enough nowadays, so any one cheapo flight will do.

P.S. You are a sales executive and still at school?
QF charges to join if live in Australia or NZ.
NZ charges to join unless recently flown NZ in business class or paid koru club membership.

NH sends out card as soon as join, as does MH, AA, OZ.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone name me some FF programs that still mail out plastic membership cards as soon as you sign up without having to take any qualifying flights

I'm doing an essay for school on how FF programs have changed since 9/11 and I'd be interested to see how many have stopped mailing out membership cards upon signup.

Thanks for any help.
I think HHonors still mail

Singapore, no. Have account with them, but they never send me anything.

I stand corrected. M&M must have changed their 3,000 miles policy in the past few months.

Not Virgin - they only send out cards once you have flown with them, not at sign up.

Huh ? OS is using LH's Miles and More. Also, SK Eurobonus mail card as soon as you are registered.

JAL sent me one within a week or so of signing up. No flight or other earning activity needed.

they indeed do. Signed up recently and had the card through the post. AA also do but it`s a thinner plastic card.

NWA does.
