Mileage Plus Visa Card First Airline Credit Card to Use Contactless
“Blink” Technology
United
Airlines is promoting its innovation in being the first airline
to use Chase’s new contactless “blink” technology
in its airline rewards credit card.
The
Chase
United Mileage Plus Visa Card
with “blink” were first issued this summer to over
200,000 cardmembers in Colorado. To use the card, cardmembers
simply hold their card near a special point-of-sale terminal
at checkout, instead of swiping their card or handing it to
a store employee.
Using
the requisite puns to full advantage, Joe Venuti, senior vice
president for Chase’s Card Services division, said “We’re
confident the idea will take flight with our cardmembers, who
will enjoy gliding through check out lines while accruing mileage
earning benefits.”
