  1. M&M is also the frequent flyer program of LOT Polish Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Air Dolomiti. Thanks for this, I’ve been thinking about this card for a while.

    Do you know if there is an annual fee this first year?

      I believe, after reading the T&C’s, that the annual fee is not waived.

      I’m definitely thinking of getting this card as well!

  2. Actually, according to the T&C: the annual fee will be waived for Senator and HON Circle Members, as long as they maintain their Senator or HON Circle Member status.
