Smiles announces changes to Gol Smiles credit card benefits

Smiles Gol Smiles credit cards Banco do Brasil loyalty programs airline miles

Smiles has announced significant changes to the benefits of its Gol Smiles credit card categories, including International, Gold, Platinum, and Infinite, effective September 1, 2026. Key modifications include the removal of extra miles for purchases made directly on the airline's website across all card tiers.

Changes to lounge access and boarding priority will also take effect. Platinum cardholders will be limited to two VIP lounge visits per year, restricted to the primary cardholder, and will transition to Group 2 boarding. In contrast, the Infinite category will maintain unlimited lounge access. Gold cardholders will lose preferential boarding privileges.

Separately, Banco do Brasil is running a promotion for new GOL Smiles cardholders. Customers can earn up to 20,000 bonus miles by meeting specific spending requirements and maintaining Clube Smiles membership. The highest tier of the promotion is available for the GOL Smiles Visa Infinite card, requiring an R$ 8,000 spend by December 1, 2026.
