For business Accounts, and except as described in these Program Rules, all Net Purchases will earn Miles, and Miles will be credited to each primary Cardmember’s Korean Air SKYPASS Program account. Redemption of Miles is subject to the terms of the Korean Air SKYPASS program. We may alter, change, or terminate the Program at any time with or without notice to you.

Purchases made through a third-party payment account or on an online marketplace (with multiple retailers) will not earn additional Miles.

If credits during a statement period exceed Purchases, the credit balance will be carried over to the following billing cycles and offset against future Purchases charged to the Account for purposes of awarding Miles. We may round Net Purchases up or down to a whole dollar amount for purposes of determining and awarding Miles. We reserve the right to adjust or reverse the number of Miles that were awarded for unauthorized. We reserve the right to adjust the amount of Miles that we request from Korean Air to award for Purchases or to stop requesting miles for Purchases on the Account, upon notice to you. All Miles postings to the Korean Air SKYPASS program are at the discretion of Korean Air. For posting discrepancies related to Miles posted in your Korean Air SKYPASS program account, please contact Korean Air Service Center at 1-800-438-5000. We reserve the right to amend or cancel this Program or change the rewards and other benefits at any time with or without notice to you.

Not all transactions are considered to be Purchases and eligible to earn Miles, such as transactions posting as Convenience Checks; Balance Transfers; Advances (including ATM withdrawals, wire transfers, traveler's checks, money orders, foreign cash transactions, betting transactions, and lottery tickets); interest charges and fees; credit insurance premiums; and transactions to (i) fund certain prepaid card products, (ii) buy currency from the U.S. Mint, or (iii) buy cash convertible items. No retroactive credits will be given for prior Purchases.

Miles from different Accounts may be combined into one Korean Air SKYPASS program account. Miles cannot be used in conjunction with other frequency or reward programs.

Bonus/Promotional Offers. You may be offered the opportunity to earn bonus Miles at any time after you open this Account. If you are offered a promotion, you must follow all the requirements outlined in your offer materials (such as spend amount and timing requirements).
