United Airlines Amex / Visa with MBNA

Legacy_user

Has anyone tried the United Credit Card yet?

I had a Virgin card with MBNA a number of years ago and they were ok but have not used them recently.

I get the occasional mailing from United about the account with bonus points and am tempted.

I've been put off with the currency loading as the US version doesn't have any and have previously found Amex a hassle for day to day use here.

If your looking for rewards and no foreign loading fee then the New Lloyds Bank Avios Amex/MC is the only option really.

System

Thanks

Unfortunately, Avios would be not work as I dont use BA / Oneworld.
BA route mostly via London and I try to avoid Heathrow & Gatwick.

I use United / Star Alliance or could possibly use Air France / Skyteam.

I believe you can use Avios on American Airlines from Manchester if thats on any use to you.

That is literally the only reward card that is free to use abroad though unfortunately.
