Avianca has two co-branded cards in the U.S.: the $149 annual fee version and the $50 annual fee version. Both cards offer a sign-up bonus after one purchase, and there’s a little trick: you can call to waive the first year’s annual fee after you receive the bonus.
Doc shared a card shutdown DP. It doesn’t seem like many people have been shut down so far (there aren’t that many cardholders to begin with). The shutdown came from the Fraud Risk Control Department, and the letter says:
The credit card contract applicable to your account grants either party the right to terminate the account relationship or the credit privileges at any time with or without cause. It is a voluntary agreement that either party may terminate unilaterally.The Bank has chosen to exercise said contractual right and hereby informs you that the above mentioned account will be closed effective <date>. Please destroy and discard any card you may have received for this account.
Credit card #XXXX
After said date, you will not have access to any of your credit card benefits. As a result, you must take the necessary steps and make the necessary arrangements to avoid setbacks. If you have authorized any companies to charge your account for membership fees for ongoing services, please contact them directly to arrange an alternate method of payment.
If there is a balance on the account, you will continue to receive your monthly billing statements. We inform you that you remain responsible for the payment of any balance in the account, which will remain subject to all the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
Sincerely,
Fraud Risk Control Department
People who use the card normally and frequently probably shouldn’t have to worry about getting shut down. But since this card doesn’t really have any special perks, if you don’t fly Avianca often, it probably isn’t a card worth keeping long term.
