Denied: TAP Air Portugal Miles & Go Amex

October 17, 2023 By Nancy 1 Comment

Last month, I wrote about getting on the waitlist for a special offer for the TAP Air Portugal Miles & Go Amex Card (non-affiliate link) by Cardless. Yesterday, I received an email with details of this new credit card.

TAP Air Portugal Miles & Go American Express by Cardless

The welcome bonus for those who RSVPed in advance to the offer is 65,000 miles after spending $2500 in the first 90 days plus 5000 status miles. Must open by October 24.  The offer to the general public is 60,000 bonus miles after spending $2500 in the first 90 days. Apply by November 30, 2023.

  • 3X miles on TAP Air Portugal purchases
  • 2X miles on hotels, car rentals and rideshare
  • 1X miles on all other purchases
  • 2 Lounge passes at TAP Premium Lounge in Lisbon
  • Extra baggage allowance (2X per year)
  • Preferred boarding for you and travel companions
  • Earn up to 10k status miles per qualification period
  • $79 annual fee

Why I Applied for this Card

This card is not the first, second or even third card I would recommend to folks in this hobby. I always recommend starting with cards that earn flexible points that you can transfer to multiple airlines.

However, I’m over 5/24 right now and have already had most credit cards. I applied for this card because I can always use more miles to help my family fly on a future trip to Asia. TAP Air Portugal is a partner of Eva Air, which is a good choice for award seats to Asia.

Unfortunately, after I applied for the TAP Air Portugal Miles & Go Amex card, I was instantly denied. The email I received minutes later listed the following reasons for my denial:

  • Number of months since the most recently opened bankcard revolving account(s).
  • Number of months since the most recently opened revolving bankcard trade account(s).
  • Number of months since the most recently opened credit card account(s).
  • Number of months since the most recently opened revolving trade account.

I just opened a new credit card last month, so that’s pretty recent.

This isn’t my first credit card denial, and I don’t take it personally. Those of us who are deep into this hobby are bound to get a few denials every now and then, but that’s ok. Nothing venture, nothing gained.

Readers, are you considering this TAP Air Portugal Miles & Go card?
