First of all, make sure your credit score is high enough to qualify. As a rule, airline co-branded credit cards are for people with good or excellent credit. Those whose credit is close to good credit, may also qualify for such card. Then, if your primary goal is credit building only, or even if you want to earn some points, Aegean credit card may not be as good.
