Bonus program Transaero Privilege. Points "Privilege Transaero": table

To date, there are many different incentive programs for customers who are constantly using the services of airlines. The number of partners, services and participants is increasing every year. The first program appeared in 1995 and was called the "Transaero Privilege". More details about what it is, what is different from other existing on the market, read further in this article.

Transaero Privilege: registration

Any passenger aged 12 years or older can become a participant. To do this, you must fill out a form and get an account number. It will be credited to miles. First, a temporary account is issued. After accumulating 1000 miles or two flights by business class or four economy class flights, it will become permanent. The program "Privilege Transaero" also provides for some restrictions. The account is canceled if no flights are made during the year, and within 36 months - no points are accumulated. The validity of miles is 3 years from the date of the first air flight.

Children's account

Although the participants of the program "Privilege Transaero" can only become people aged 12 years, the company did not forget about the smallest passengers. Their miles are transferred to the account of the parent, and then counted as a discount. To start such a scheme it is necessary to attach the data of a small passenger to the adult's account by providing a copy of the birth certificate. Bonuses will be transferred after notification of the flight to the email program.

Discounts and scoring

The company "Transaero Privilege" points in the form of discounts or bonuses are awarded for air travel on flights of the same name airline. Transaero is not yet part of any of the air alliances, so the choice of directions is very limited. The card of the participant can be issued in one of 12 banks (Gazprom, Russian Standard, VTB, Promsvyaz, etc.). The uniqueness of this program is 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 downside is that you can not improve the class of service for points.

Types of bonuses

Points are divided into basic and additional. The first are charged for air travel. The second - for using the services of partner companies, co-branding card (joint with the bank), charter, auction flights. This includes the points awarded before the registration in the program, as well as children's discounts. Such graduation is needed to improve the level of the participant's card.

Cobranding cards

Of all the conditions of the partner banks, the most profitable ones are represented within the framework of VTB Transaero Privilege program.

1. The low interest rate is 19%. For comparison: SMP - from 23.99%, "Promsvyazbank" - 27.9%, "Rosgosstrakh" - 25%.

2. In the first year, the service is free of charge. This is immediately felt in comparison with competitors: SMP takes 600 rubles, and "Russian Standard" for a card of American Express class - 1,5 thousand rubles.

3. Bonus bonuses: 200 points for the first purchase. The same is offered by Promsvyaz and Rosgosstrakh. "Opening" and Rosbank charge only 100 points. And SMP also gives 25 bonuses for the operation on an additional card.

4. High credit limit. VTB24 offers loans 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 the "Russian Standard" is ready to lend to customers for up to 450 thousand rubles.

5. Bonuses. Unlike other banks, VTB24 accrues 1 point for 90 rubles and 2 - for a similar amount spent abroad.

But this card has its drawbacks. So, to issue a product in VTB24 can only persons who work in the last place for more than 6 months and have a sufficient level of income. Since the card is oriented to non-cash payments, a large commission is charged for the withdrawal of money: 5.5% (minimum - 300 rubles). For the same operation, the MSP takes 2.99%, Russian Standard - 3.9%.

Benefit

Accumulated bonuses can be exchanged for a premium ticket, a higher class of service or goods from the partners of the airline. How real is this scheme? A ticket from Moscow to Europe can be bought for 2700 points. Bonuses are stored for 3 years. VTB24 charges 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 for a card monthly goods amounting to 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 aviai flights is low.

Conclusion

Customers who frequently fly with Transaero can arrange a special card, accumulate miles and exchange them for bonuses. For registration in the program, only the client's application is required. After accumulating 10 thousand miles, the client becomes a regular participant in the program and can take part in promotions and enjoy privileges. It is possible to issue a co-branding card of one of the 12 banks. Then it can be used for settlements in stores. The number of the Transaero Privilege card will be the same as that of the credit card.
