Transaero bonus program "Privilege". Transaero Privilege Points: Table

Today, there are many different incentive programs for customers who constantly use the services of airlines. The number of partners, services and participants is increasing annually. The first program appeared back in 1995 and was called the Transaero Privilege. In more detail about what it represents, how it differs from other existing ones on the market, read further in this article.

Transaero Privilege: Registration

Any passenger over the age of 12 years can become a participant. To do this, fill out the form and get the account number. Miles will be credited to it. First issued a temporary account. After accumulating 1,000 miles or two flights in business class or four flights in economy class, it will become permanent. The Transaero Privilege program also provides for some restrictions. The account is canceled if not a single flight is made during the year, and not a single point is accumulated within 36 months. The validity of miles is 3 years from the date of the first flight.

Children's account

Although Transaero Privilege program participants can only be those over the age of 12, the company has not forgotten about the smallest passengers. Their miles are credited to the parent's account and then credited as a discount. To run such a scheme, you need to attach the data of the small passenger to the adult's account, providing a copy of the birth certificate. Bonuses will be listed after notification of air travel by email program.

Discounts and points

The company Transaero Privilege points in the form of discounts or bonuses are awarded for flights on flights of the same airline. Transaero is not yet a member of any of the air alliances, so the choice of destinations is very limited. A participant card can be issued at one of 12 banks (Gazprom, Russian Standard, VTB, Promsvyaz, etc.). The uniqueness of this program lies in the fact that points are also accumulated for using the services of partners.

Transaero has a joint bonus program with the British airline BMI, for flights with which the client replenishes a virtual account. The only negative is that you cannot upgrade the class of service for points.

Bonus Types

Points are divided into basic and additional. The first are charged for air travel. The second - for using the services of partner companies, a co-branded card (jointly with the bank), charter, auction flights. This also includes points accrued prior to registration in the program, as well as children's discounts. Such a gradation is needed to increase the level of the membership card.

Kinds

After accumulating a sufficient number of miles, an email will be sent to the email address with a notification about the issuance of a plastic card for a regular customer. You can get it at the Transaero representative office. If the client draws up a co-branding card (joint with the bank), then the program participant’s number will already be indicated on a plastic medium.

Holders of Gold and Silver cards can be in the business lounge, arrange more comfortable seats on the plane, additional weight for luggage. To get such privileges, you need to carry out a certain number of flights or accumulate points in the main account. Special conditions for beginners are provided by the Transaero Privilege program. If within 12 months after issuing the main card the client has accumulated 10 thousand miles or completed 15 (30) flights to the business (economy) class, then he will automatically receive a silver card. For Gold, the conditions are more stringent: 18 thousand points, 30 (60) flights to the business (economy) class. A membership card must be presented when booking / purchasing a ticket and registering for boarding.

Control

You can monitor the number of accumulated points in your account on the airline’s website. The service is very convenient. You can restore a flight that was not taken into account, transfer the award or change the data directly from the Internet by filling out a special form on the website. And in order not to miss the promotions of partners and the days of the "Double Bonuses", it is enough to subscribe to the newsletter and receive all the news by e-mail.

Conversion

Points can be accumulated not only for air travel, but also for settlements with a card issued by one of their partner banks. Such plastic payment instruments make it possible to simultaneously accumulate bonuses and use a credit card. The program is not as wide as that of Aeroflot, and the conversion takes place at a different rate: 100 rubles. = 1 point

Other partners of the Transaero Privilege program:

• British Midland Airways;
• car rental Hertz and Sixt;
• Perekrestok supermarkets: 100 points = 1 Privilege bonus;
• Svyaznoy-Club: 350 points = 1 Transaero bonus.

The accumulated points can be spent on upgrading the class of service and purchasing an award ticket.

Cobrandig cards

Of all the conditions of partner banks, the most favorable are presented within the VTB Transaero Privilege program.

1. Low interest rate - 19%. For comparison: NSR - from 23.99%, Promsvyazbank - 27.9%, Rosgosstrakh - 25%.

2. In the first year - service is free. This is immediately felt in comparison with competitors: NSR takes 600 rubles, and Russian Standard for an American Express class card - 1.5 thousand rubles.

3. Bonus bonuses: 200 points for the first purchase. Promsvyaz and Rosgosstrakh offer the same amount. Otkrytie and Rosbank accrue only 100 points. And SMP also gives 25 bonuses for an operation on an additional card.

4. High credit limit. VTB24 offers borrowed funds in the amount of up to 300 thousand rubles. Of course, each application is considered individually. But this figure is still higher than that of Promsvyazbank (150 thousand rubles). Although "Russian Standard" is ready to lend to customers in the amount of up to 450 thousand rubles.

5. Bonuses. Unlike other banks, VTB24 accrues 1 point for 90 rubles and 2 for the same amount spent abroad.

But this card also has disadvantages. So, only people who work in last place for more than 6 months and have a sufficient income level can register a product at VTB24. Since the card is focused on non-cash payments, a large commission is charged for withdrawing money: 5.5% (minimum - 300 rubles). For the same operation, the NSR takes 2.99%, Russian Standard - 3.9%.

Benefit

The accumulated bonuses can be exchanged for an award ticket, a higher class of service or goods from airline partners. How real is this scheme? A ticket from Moscow to Europe can be bought for 2700 points. Bonuses are stored for 3 years. VTB24 accrues 1 point for 90 rubles. and 200 bonus points. Total we get:

• 2700-200 = 2500 points;
• 2500 * 90 = 225 thousand rubles.
• 225/36 months = 6.25 thousand rubles.
• 225/12 = 18.75 thousand rubles.

So, to save up for a free ticket, for a year you need to pay with a card monthly goods worth 18.75 thousand rubles (6.25 thousand for 3 years). In principle, the amount is real. Although the percentage of customers who manage to spend points for air travel is low.

Conclusion

Customers who often fly with Transaero Airlines can issue a special card, accumulate miles and redeem them for bonuses. To register in the program, only a client application is required. After accumulating 10 thousand miles, the client becomes a regular member of the program and can take part in promotions and enjoy privileges. It is possible to issue a co-branded card of one of 12 banks. Then it can be used for settlements in stores. The Transaero Privilege card number will be the same as the credit card.
