Korean Air SKYPASS miles aren’t the easiest to earn, so the elevated welcome offer on SKYPASS Select Visa Signature® Card from U.S. Bank is worth your attention.

Right now, new applicants can earn 70,000 bonus miles after meeting the minimum spending requirement, and this offer is available until October 14, 2024.

What else does the SKYPASS Select Signature card offer? Let’s take a look at the current welcome bonus and features of this card to decide if you should apply.

Korean Air SKYPASS Select Signature Card Welcome Offer

New applicants of the SKYPASS Select Signature card can earn 70,000 bonus miles after spending $5,000 on eligible purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. We value Korean Air SKYPASS miles at 1.6 cents each, meaning this welcome offer is worth $1,120.

Korean Air SKYPASS miles aren’t the easiest to earn, so this elevated welcome offer should get SkyTeam fans excited.

Although you can earn SKYPASS miles through flying, hotel stays, and rental cars, the most straightforward way to accumulate these valuable miles was by transferring from Chase Ultimate Rewards to SKYPASS; however, that partnership ended in 2018.

You can transfer points from several hotel programs to Korean Air SKYPASS, but most of these don’t provide good value. The only option really worth considering is the 3:1 transfer from Marriott Bonvoy.

With all of this context, it’s clear to see why an opportunity to boost your SKYPASS balance with 70,000 miles is worth considering.

If you’re interested in this offer, it’s available until October 14, 2024.

Korean Air SKYPASS Select Signature Card Features

U.S. Bank offers 3 co-branded Korean Air credit cards in the U.S. The SKYPASS Select Signature card is the most premium version, carrying a $450 annual fee and packing a ton of benefits.

Cardholders earn 3x miles per $1 spent on Korean Air ticket purchases, 2x miles on other airlines, 2x miles on hotels and car rentals, 2x miles on dining — including takeout and restaurant delivery — and 1x mile on other eligible purchases.

Other key benefits of the SKYPASS Select Signature card include:

  • 5% savings for you and a companion on a Korean Air flight annually, available twice per year
  • Up to $200 annual travel credit
  • Up to $100 application fee statement credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck
  • 2 KAL Lounge vouchers to use for lounge visits annually
  • Receive 2 Duty Free Coupons each year, worth up to $25 each
  • Receive bonus miles on each cardholder anniversary, based on spending on the card during the previous year
  • Multiple trip insurance protections

You can receive up to 10,000 anniversary miles each year by spending $35,000 on purchases with your card. Alternatively, if you spend $15,000 on purchases, you’ll get 5,000 anniversary miles.

Bottom Line:

For a $450 annual fee, you’ll get flight discounts, travel credits, lounge passes, Duty Free coupons, insurance protections, and the ability to earn bonus miles on each account anniversary.

Final Thoughts

The SKYPASS Select Signature card is offering a welcome bonus of 70,000 miles after spending $5,000 in the first 3 months available through October 14.

Korean Air miles can be difficult to earn, due to a lack of transfer partners. They have some valuable uses, though, and anyone looking to stock up on SKYPASS miles might want to apply for this offer before it goes away.
