Wilmington-based Chase Card Services announced the launch of the AirTran A+ Rewards Credit Card that allows consumers to earn rewards at an accelerated rate, receive an anniversary bonus every year and enjoy two business class upgrades after the first purchase, for a $69 annual fee, with travel to more than 95 destinations on AirTran Airways and Southwest Airlines.

Members of Rapid Rewards Southwest Airlines and A+ Rewards AirTran Airways frequent flyer programs are able to transfer their loyalty rewards between the two programs to redeem for reward travel to  95 destinations, including Mexico and the Caribbean. While the two loyalty programs remain separate for now, the ability to redeem rewards for more destinations represents an enhancement for cardholders, according to a release.

“As we continue to integrate AirTran into Southwest, the new AirTran A+ Rewards Credit Card offers a fantastic, unique signup premium and exceptional ongoing benefits that will allow our new Cardholders to take full advantage of two of the top loyalty redemption platforms in the airline industry today,” said Jonathan Clarkson, director of Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards.

Southwest Airlines, which now owns AirTran, is combining the two carriers and gradually adding cities to the Southwest system. However, the process is not expected to be  completed until  2015.
