I hope that they will start the application or come out with more information before start of Q2. Looking forward to this card and hopefully they are flexible in accepting non-residence but with a Belgian bank acct and NL citizen. (I might also try the one from DB but that comes only later this mid year).
Cheers!
Cheers!

Interesting they make such a fuss about it, I hope their card will be equally interesting!
BTW I have not been invited, 20 years BRU based SEN, but I only had the Amex 9 months until it got cancelled.
If you are attending, have fun, I hope the refined dinner will be better than in the lounge.

I am not invited neither, Belgium based, long term SEN (> 10 years) and very heavy user of the former Brussels Airlines Amex card ...
Edit: sorry take that back, I did receive an invite. But no more availability meanwhile ...

I of course will not be invited I guess - as I'm based in NL (even when I applied and owned the AMEX card) and was SEN during the first few years of the card and after that ditched M&M for another *A program, although I had the card just to keep miles active.
For those who managed to get an invitation and will attend, if you will so kind with any opportunity pls do check with them on the eligibility for the card - I hope that they will let me as an NL citizen/tax payer with a BE account to apply for it. (if they really do need a BE address but not residential eligibility, that should also be doable).
Cheers!

Some more teasing...
With interesting small print: no miles granted when spending on airlines out of LHG/Star Alliance and a yearly earning cap.
Dear fereke
We are excited to announce the launch of three new credit cards1, in April, cobranded with Beobank and Mastercard, in collaboration with Miles & More. These cards are designed to elevate your travel experience with benefits and rewards adapted to your travel profile.
Key highlights of these cards include:
Welcome Bonus: You will receive a welcome bonus the first year2, based on the card you select.
Earn Miles: Earn miles with every transaction made with the card3, whether traveling with Brussels Airlines or shopping in Belgium and abroad.
Each credit card offers an included insurance package4 for peace of mind. Key highlights include travel insurances, ideal for holidaymakers as well as regular travellers, and shopping insurances to cover your purchases.
Additionally, you will have access to various Mastercard benefits, including the Priceless platform. Priceless is a program offered by Mastercard that allows you to enjoy inspiring and exclusive experiences in the cities where you live and travel, as well as online experiences.
Apply for your credit card as soon as it launches in April and start earning miles!
Best regards,

3Geen recht op Miles geven: Transacties bij luchtvaartmaatschappijen die geen deel uitmaken van de Lufthansa Group en Star Alliance... Er geldt een maximumaantal Miles per kalenderjaar (de teller wordt elk jaar na de factuurdatum in januari op nul gezet)
3Ne donnent pas droit des Miles : Les transactions auprs de compagnies ariennes ne faisant pas partie de Lufthansa group et de Star Alliance... Un montant maximum de Miles par annes calendrier ( le compteur est remis zro chaque anne aprs la date du relev de janvier ) s'applique

But yes, interesting small print: due to the caps, the card will probably not be interesting for me, just like the Amex offer IIRC. Probably if you want to earn a decent amount of miles you will need to get the most expensive credit card.
And they must have added the non-qualifying spending on other airlines since they have read over here that we are not so happy anymore with Lufthansa.
In any case, with the recent huge devaluation of the miles, the card won't make too much sense. This announcement is bad timing...

Indeed, now with the recent dynamic annoucement, I do really wonder do I want to continue collecting miles with the program. Furthermore with that small print.. does not sound very interesting.
I'll wait and see....
Cheers!

This picture seems to show HON/SEN get the card free? (180 cashback). That would be very generous, so I probably miss something
The link only talks about first year, but seems to indicate the cashback is for everyone?
How should I interpret the 5000+5000 SN miles?
Anyway, starting to look like a good alternative to the Amex offer, especially when the point booster becomes an addon for gold..
