Terms and conditions

Under the Airline Incidental Fees Statement Credit program, each eligible Union Bank Credit Card may receive a statement credit up to a certain limit each calendar year for Qualifying Airline Purchases charged to this card. Statement credit will appear on the billing statement as “Airline Fee Reimbursement” under the applicable cardholder’s transactions. No enrollment necessary in this benefit.

Qualifying Airline Purchases are defined as incidental airline fee transactions made at eligible U.S.-Domestic Airline Carriers (“Eligible Airline”) and may include: seat upgrade charges, ticket change/cancellation fees, checked baggage fees, in-flight entertainment, onboard food and beverage charges, airline lounge membership fees and day passes, onboard wireless charges (excluding Gogo Wireless), and may vary depending on the airline. To qualify as a Qualifying Airline Purchase, the transaction must meet all of the following requirements:

• Be completed using an eligible Union Bank Credit Card and with an Eligible Airline;
• Be a separate charge from any airline ticket charge;
• Post to the Cardholder Card Account during the calendar year;
• Be identified as a Qualifying Airline Purchase, based on the information available on Visa’s proprietary network (VisaNet) and be submitted by the Eligible Airline under the appropriate merchant code, industry code, or required service or product identifier for the transaction to be identified as a Qualified Airline Purchase transaction.

Airline ticket purchases, mileage point purchases, mileage points, transfer fees, gift cards, duty free purchases, award tickets and fees incurred with airline alliance partners do not qualify as Qualifying Airline Purchases. Airline lounge fees not affiliated with an Eligible Airline and transactions made with travel agencies are also not considered Qualifying Airline Purchases.

Eligible Airlines include the top-8 U.S. Domestic airline carriers and the list is subject to change at any time without notice.

The maximum statement credit is either $50 for the Union Bank Travel Rewards Visa Card and or $100 for the Union Bank Rewards Visa Card for The Private Bank.

Please allow 6 to 8 weeks after a Qualifying Airline Purchase is charged for a statement credit to be posted to the Cardholder Card Account. Until such time as the statement credit has been posted to the Account, the Cardholder Card Account holder is responsible for the payment of the Qualifying Airline Purchase that has been charged to the Cardholder Card and that appears on the billing statement.

Union Bank and Visa rely on the Eligible Airline to submit the correct information on airline transactions. Please call Union Bank Client Service at the telephone number on the back of your card if a statement credit has not posted to the Account within 6 to 8 weeks from the date the Qualifying Airline Purchase was charged to the Cardholder Visa Card.

Yes – all Qualifying Airline Purchases must be made using your eligible Union Bank Credit Card.

In order to take advantage of this benefit, Qualifying Airline Purchase, transactions must be made with Eligible Airlines, which include the top-8 U.S. Domestic Airline Carriers only. Incidental airline purchases made on international air carriers, such as Air France, Virgin Atlantic and British Airways, do not qualify.

To receive the statement credit for a Qualifying Airline Purchase, an eligible Union Bank Credit Card on which the Qualifying Airline Purchase has been charged must be open and in good standing (i.e., not in default) on the date the statement credit is posted. This benefit cannot be combined with any other Union Bank promotional reward offers. Union Bank and Visa reserve the right to modify or cancel this benefit at any time and without notice. Qualifying Airline Purchases made prior to the cancellation of this benefit and charged to a Cardholder Card will receive the statement credit as stated above.
