The March issue of Inside Flyer (subscription required) notes a new mileage earning credit card

Middle East Airlines and Lebanon’s Banque Audi have launched a new mileage-earning credit card. The Banque Audi Cedar Miles Silver card earns one mile per $1.50 spent, and the Gold card, one mile per dollar. New cardholders receive a welcome bonus of 3,000 miles, an extended grace period, travel insurance, life insurance and insurance against lost luggage when the card is used for ticket purchases, as well as purchase protection

(Emphasis mine)

This seems like an important benefit for anyone carrying a card issued in Lebanon and earning miles on Middle East Airlines.
