In this way, “Premium Bank Miles” is a joint payment card, which combines advantages of a bank card and benefits of participation in the Azal Miles program. Paying for daily purchases and services with a Miles card, a card holder collects points at their balance. The points are accrued in any world currency on payment (in AZN equivalent). Those points are also collected by flying in Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL). A card holder can use accumulated miles to buy a free air ticket (business and economy class) of AZAL, or upgrade the class of service.
