Atlanta-based SunTrust Banks and Delta Airlines have announced that consumers and businesses will soon be able to earn Delta miles on all signature-based purchases made with a new SunTrust SkyMiles Check Card.
The SunTrust SkyMiles Check Cards meet a growing demand among Delta and SunTrust clients for a check card that earns airline miles. It also reinforces SunTrust’s pledge to help clients with responsible financial management through its Live Solid. Bank Solid campaign.
Three cards will be available, SkyMiles Classic and Platinum Check Cards for consumers, and SkyMiles Business Check Card for small-to-medium-sized businesses.
Hugh Gallagher, Senior Vice President for Deposit Product Management of SunTrust, said: “Today, more than ever, consumers are looking for ways to better control their finances and make smart purchasing decisions. We’re very pleased to partner with Delta on this great product.”
Jeff Robertson, Vice President of loyalty programs at Delta, said: “Our SkyMiles members have told us they want a mileage-earning check card, particularly in these challenging economic times. SunTrust is a strong banking partner that matches our customer base in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. These new cards provide our members with additional options and value while strengthening our overall portfolio of card offerings.
SunTrust Banks’ primary businesses include deposit, credit, trust and investment services. Through various subsidiaries, the company provides mortgage banking, insurance, brokerage, equipment leasing and capital markets services.
