In addition to the usual use cases, it has a number of its own advantages: they can be appreciated by those who travel a lot with airline alliance companies and value comfort.
Visa card Aeroflot Sberbank
Sberbank, like many other banks, issues partner cards jointly with other companies. One such product is the Aeroflot bonus debit product from Sberbank. From the name itself it is clear which company the bank cooperates with.
Those who fly by plane know that the airline also has its own bonus system. And Aeroflot was no exception. This airline also has its own system of bonuses (miles). It is they who accumulate when using this bank card. It is suitable for those who often fly by plane and use the services of this airline.
- Service price for the first year - 900 rubles, in subsequent ones - 600 rubles.
- Valid for 3 years.
- You have to pay for Mobile Banking 60 rubles per month.
There is an additional bonus program from Sberbank itself. It can be linked to wallets in electronic payment systems. It is also possible to set up automatic payment to pay for utilities, loans, fines, other services, such as the Internet, satellite TV and mobile communications, etc.
If desired, you can turn this card into a salary card in order to spend as much money as possible from it, receiving many bonuses in the form of air miles.
Since this banking product can be either debit or credit, the requirements for submitting an application are different. If you are applying for a debit card, you need to visit the Sberbank office and provide a document that confirms your identity. Usually you need to provide a passport of a Russian citizen. You need to fill out an application form and submit it.
There is no need to wait for the bank’s decision, because this banking product is a debit product. You will be able to sign the contract immediately on the day of your application. When the card is ready, you will need to pick it up, activate it and you can use it. If you have an Aeroflot Bonus program participant number, it would be a good idea to provide it when submitting your application.
When applying for the card itself, no one will impose any additional services that you must use in order to get all the possibilities of working with it. This is not in the conditions, so there is no need to connect anything. The conditions and requirements are almost the same as for standard Sberbank debit products.
Activation
Typically, Sberbank employees help activate the card immediately upon receipt. Along with the plastic card itself, the client also receives a login and password, which he needs to log into his personal account on the Aeroflot Bonus program website. In your personal account, you also need to set up SMS notifications in order to quickly receive information about accrued and debited miles, balance, etc.
How to connect miles?
If you turn this bank card over, there is a 9-digit number in the lower left corner. When ordering air tickets from Aeroflot via the Internet and at official ticket offices, you will need to indicate this number in order to be able to spend the accumulated miles. This number must also be indicated when purchasing a ticket in order for miles to be accrued from this flight.
How to accumulate miles: conditions for accruing bonuses
Bonuses are awarded for every 1 euro or dollar spent from this account. They give you 1 mile. They give the same amount if you spend 60 domestic rubles.
Miles are credited only if purchases are made with this card and only in companies that are partners of Sberbank. If this is, for example, withdrawing cash from an ATM, no miles will be credited to your account.
But the card additionally has a bonus program from Sberbank itself - the well-known “Thank you”. Immediately upon opening the card, the airline awards 500 bonus points as a welcome gesture.
How to find out how many miles are on the map?
This can be done by logging into your Personal Account on the Aeroflot website in the bonus program section. You can also call 8−800−444−55−55 and ask a company employee. True, he will first ask for passport details, card number and other information to make sure that it is really the card owner who is calling and not a fraudster. After making sure that they are not scammers, the company employee will tell you how many miles are on your balance and what they can be exchanged for in the near future so that they do not expire.

Advantages of the Aeroflot bonus gold card (visa Gold) from Sberbank
In addition to the classic card, there is also one, which has many advantages. These include:
- 1000 welcome miles;

How long are bonuses valid?
Bonuses are valid for 2 years. Many people travel by air at least once every 2 years. Otherwise, if you don’t plan to fly anywhere and the bonuses expire, they can be transferred to one of your friends, relatives, or donated to charity as part of the “Mercy Mile”.
Is it worth applying?
If we compare, for example, with the simplest classic debit card from Sberbank, the conditions are almost the same, except that more Aeroflot miles are accumulated. The cost of service is 150 rubles more expensive. This is also a small amount. Therefore, why not get such a card.
