This article explains what V2 Infinite Cards are, what makes them different, who’s eligible, and how to get one. It also covers key benefits, available designs, and what to expect when applying.
What Is A KAST V2 Infinite Card?
A KAST V2 Infinite Card is a Visa Infinite-tier card available in both virtual and physical formats. “V2” refers to the latest version of KAST’s card design.
On KAST, cards issued under Premium and Private memberships are Visa Infinite cards, which means they come with additional network-level benefits beyond your standard KAST experience.
These cards give you access to Visa Infinite benefits, which are separate from your KAST membership benefits.
Key things to know:
- V2 Infinite cards unlock Visa Infinite network benefits (such as travel and lifestyle perks)
- Your KAST membership benefits like cashback and KAST Points still apply as usual
- Visa Infinite benefits are accessed through the Visa Benefits Portal, not directly in the KAST app
In short, your KAST card gives you both KAST rewards and additional Visa Infinite perks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to activate Visa Infinite benefits, or are they automatic once I have the card?
Visa Infinite benefits are available once you have your card, but you’ll need to access them through the Visa Benefits Portal to use them. You don’t activate them in the KAST app, and some benefits require you to pay fully with your card to qualify.
Where do I see my Visa Infinite benefit details?
You can view all your Visa Infinite benefits in the Visa Benefits Portal at visabenefitslac.axa-assistance.us. This is where you check coverage details, generate certificates, and manage claims.
Do I need to pay the full cost of a trip or item with my V2 Infinite card for benefits to apply?
Yes, many Visa Infinite protections require the full payment to be made with your card. Split payments may make you ineligible for certain claims.
Can I have a V2 Infinite card without a membership?
No, V2 Infinite cards require an active Premium or Private membership. If your membership ends, your Visa Infinite benefits will no longer apply and your card access may change based on your current plan.
When will my physical V2 Infinite card arrive?
Physical card shipping is scheduled to begin at the end of April. KAST will contact you to confirm your shipping address when cards are ready to ship.
Can I use my V2 Infinite card virtually while waiting for the physical card?
Yes. Once your upgrade is processed, a Visa Infinite virtual card is issued immediately. You can add it to Apple Pay or Google Wallet and begin using it right away.
What happens to my V1 card when I receive my V2 card?
Your V1 card remains functional after your V2 card is issued. However, Visa Infinite network benefits — such as lounge access, travel insurance, and concierge support — are only available on the V2 card.
