Therefore, having several bank cards for different purchases is quite normal practice for Uzbekistan, says Yaroslav Stepanyuk, Director of Development of New Directions for Aviasales. - We decided to facilitate this process for Uzbek travelers to make it easier to plan trips with us. And for this we have a reliable partner.

With a new card you can pay not only for flights, but also for everyday purchases, orders in online stores and purchases abroad. For transactions over US$100, the minimum cashback will be 0.5%, the maximum - 10%. In the future, special bonuses will be available when booking hotels, renting cars and buying other travel services.
