The grace period under the terms of the Alpha Bank is also applied to cash withdrawal operations. Increases the cost of these funds. Only a commission for cashing, which is written off automatically from the account, is expressed as a percentage and is at least 300 rubles per surgery.

Cobrands of Aeroflot are manufactured in the framework of alpha-life service packages with debit current and accumulative accounts. With certain revolutions, account maintenance is free of charge, and the accumulation of miles by them passes in accordance with the card level similar to banknotes.

How bonuses accumulate: Calculator Mil Aeroflot

When making a coremic card in the Aeroflot Bonus program, each client opens a personal account, according to the rules, the account cannot be transferred, to sell, cannot be united with accounts of other participants.

On this account you will be credited miles, virtual units of promotion, two types:

1. Qualification - Miles for flights on regular flights "Aeroflot" and partner airlines, their number depends on the flight and booking class (minimum 500 per flight).
2. Unqualified - Miles for participating in the programs of partners (banks, hotels, restaurant chains Arkady Novikova, Mobile operator MegaFon, Portal TripAdvisor.ru, etc.).

The Alpha Bank credit cards refer to affiliate programs, which means the mile accumulated with their help will give the right to buy premium tickets, but will not participate in determining the customer qualifications (elite club for silver and gold levels). All new customers are assigned a basic level qualification.

And for what is charged with unqualified miles?

  1. For the first estimated card (welcoming miles) - 500/1000, depending on the level of the card.
  2. As a birthday gift - 500 (for active cards only).
  3. For spent from card tools based on 1 to 1.75 miles for 30 rubles / 1 dollars / 1 euro (the accrual ratio depends on the level of the card).
  4. For the residue on the accumulative account "Airplane" at the rate of 1 mile for every 120 rubles. / $ 20 ppm / 18 euros.

On the Alfa-Bank website, there is a convenient calculator for calculating unqualified miles: choose the type and level of the card, currency, the calculation period and how much you plan to spend on the map per month.

The program shows how many miles you can accumulate and what kind of ticket you will have enough of these miles.

For example, with average monthly expenses of 80,000 rubles. By the credit card "MS Standard" for the year you can accumulate 32,500 miles (including welcome miles).

They are enough for the ticket "Moscow - Nice", "Moscow - Dubai" in one end or "Moscow - Rome", "Moscow - Hurghada", but already there and back.

You can check the actual number of accumulated miles in the Personal Account on the Aeroflot website, you will need your member number and password.

If you subscribe to the SMS service service, the balance will come upon request in the form of SMS messages. Once a year for basic qualification customers (1 time per quarter for an elite), the report on the accumulated miles is sent to e-mail.

According to the rules of the Mile program are credited to the account within 60 days from the date of the operation. If the miles did not appear on the account, you have 12 months for submitting an application for the restoration of bonuses, a copy of the check confirming the purchase / payment of services is applied to the application.

How can miles burn?

If within two calendar years, the program participant does not register on his account by a single flight with a regular flight of Aeroflot or Airlines of the SkyTeam Alliance for the specified tariff of the program, all the accumulated miles burn without the right to recovery.

How to use miles

Use accumulated miles perhaps three ways:

  1. Place a premium ticket.
  2. Enhance the service class in the already purchased ticket with Economy on Business.
  3. Pay for the services of the program partners.

Let us dwell in the first way.

First you need premium Calculator. In the appropriate fields, we choose two final flight points, the program reflects the required amount of miles to design a premium ticket to the specified flight:

  • oW code for one side ticket;
  • rT code for tickets in two end.

An important condition for the possibility of making a premium ticket - at least one paid flight must be registered on your personal account for the last 24 months on flights and at the tariffs participating in the bonus program.

Unfortunately, to save miles and fly only on premium tickets it is impossible.

Now go B. ticket booking service.

Here, again, fill the final flight points, the date of flights, the number of places, the class of service and the type of flight, at the bottom we put a tick, which got acquainted and agree with the rules of the reservation - click "Find Flights".

If you check the system in the "Miles payment" field to ask you a personal account number and password.

In the "Flight Choice" tab, you can see the cost of the ticket: in the flight string, the cost of 1 ticket, in the upper right corner - the full cost to the specified number of people.

The cost of each ticket is broken by 2 digits: basic tariff and taxes / airline fees.

How much will miles need to pay the first digit, we defined above, but the second digit is the amount that you need to pay real money. For one flight, the size of the dachshund and collection is the same for business, and for economy class.

For example, we consider, how much will it cost us from Moscow to Egypt (Cairo) for two in economy class and back.

  1. Calculate the required number of miles: For "Economy RT" you need 30,000 miles * 2 people \u003d 60,000 miles
  2. Calculate the average monthly turnover according to the Standard map, which will save 60,000 miles per 1 year \u003d 75,000 rubles. per month (excluding welcome and gift miles)
  3. Choose a flight: 2 tickets (there and back) cost 1 121.20 USD, of which 816.00 USD is covered with miles, 305.20 USD need to pay extra.

For a flight to a business class, you will need to pay extra 305.20 USD, but miles will need significantly more - 100,000.

What is worth paying attention to the design of premium tickets:

  • during the periods of increased demand, Aeroflot has the right to introduce restrictions on the issuance of premiums;
  • in case of loss / damage / theft of the premium ticket, its duplicate is not issued, the miles are not returned;
  • premium tickets for flights of the SkyTeam Alliance members can only be issued on the route back and forth;
  • online decoration of premium tickets ends 6 hours before departure;
  • decorated premium tickets can not be returned, exchange or convey to another person;
  • making changes to your initiative to your initiative will cost at least 35/50/100 euros.

Who else cooperates with Aeroflot within the bonus program

To date, Aeroflot Bonus unites about 20 international airlines.

Cobrand cards, except Alfa-Bank produce:

  • "Savings Bank of Russia";
  • "Russian Standard Bank";
  • "Citibank";
  • Gazprombank;
  • "SMP Bank";
  • Bank "URALSIB".

Credit cards of partner banks slightly differ in the number of welcome miles and coefficients of bonuses of various levels.

For example, "SMP Bank" provides accrual 200 miles per month of over 100,000 rubles. In the account, and the bank "URALSIB" for the first operation on a premium card gives 3,000 miles. Bank "Russian Standard" until 05/14/2014 Conducts a special campaign on the accelerated accumulation of miles for consumables: for 30 rubles. Called from 1.5 to 6 miles depending on the level of the card.

And also, Alpha Bank releases Aeroflot cards only in the MasterCard payment system, in other banks you can arrange Visa or American Express.

You can also accumulate unqualified miles for services in the hotel's partner hotels. Their full list with a detailed description of the conditions is posted on the Aeroflot website.

Summary

You often use the services of air carriers, book hotels, travel around the world - the loyalty program from Aeroflot will become quite by the way. And the credit card is all the more useful: if you really do not remove the money, so leave the deposit when settled in the room. Nothing special from you is required - pay plastic, at least once every 2 years do a paid flight (notice, not charter) and save when buying tickets using virtual bonuses. The most important thing is to know the rules and follow simple recommendations.

This is the second article from a series of notes on the topic of mile programs. Before you start reading it, check if you read the first part :)

Well, now that we figured out with the concepts, let's deal with myths and typical beginner errors. As a rule, they are subject to those who have been lazy or did not consider it necessary to figure out the concepts and system of work of loyalty programs, that is, everything. Most relates to this non-serious, so misses many possibilities before figure out. We also disassembled not immediately, and then the elbows were biting, when they realized how many nonsense did you have to do :)

Myth first. I fly a little / rarely, so never accumulate to any bonus, I will not even enter into any programs.

It is amazing how many people refuse freebies, and this is in Russia, where, as well as Khalyava is famous. Let's start with the fact that a little is the concept of relative. In some programs for a premium ticket for a short distance in one direction, 4500 miles are enough (!), And they can be successfully placed by the economy class on a business trip from Moscow to Irkutsk and back. What is successful and unsuccessful we will understand a little later.

Myth second. Bonuses for the flight I can only get at the airline that is leaving.

This is a delusion that is surprisingly extremely common among many passengers. And many, having bought a ticket for the first time to a new airline, you will have a bill in her program, fold bonus miles there, then you never fly this company anymore and these miles will ever burn. With this myth, we figured out in the first article. Bonuses for the perfect flight, most often, will give all partner airlines, including members of the same alliance as the air carrier you make a flight.

Myth Third. If I often fly one airline, then the bonuses optimally fold into its program.

Sometimes it is true, but sometimes, this is a terrible mistake. We were somehow very surprised when Aeroflot had credited 0 miles to our accounts to Europe. It all depends on the airline you fly, and the tariff for which the ticket is discharged. Repeat: loyalty programs in different airlines even within one alliance differ very strongly. And the number of bonus miles per and the same ticket in different programs may be different, depending on the program and the tariff.

Myth fourth. I have an account in the XXX program and something will be copied on it. And good, the rest is nonsense.

This relationship has a variation - I was given in the plane to fill out the questionnaire, they said that I was free - I registered, I was given a card. Of course, just fold miles for perfect flights in some kind of program, it is, of course, better than nothing. But you need to understand that you can get such cards almost as much as there are airlines. By themselves, they do nothing. And of course, the efficiency of using bonuses with this respect will be practically zero.

Myth fifth. To receive free tickets and other bonuses, it is necessary to fly a lot.

If you carefully read the first article, you know that it is not. These times have long passed the past. With the advent of coobrald plastic cards, which now in Russia have a huge set, you can save miles, just paying your everyday purchases. We will definitely write a separate article about the colenda, this is another nonpauger field.

Learning to consider bonus miles

Now, when dealt with errors, let's go further. Today let's learn to count. Count how many bonuses and where we can get for your flights.

Why learn to consider so important? Very simple: we can get bonuses only in one airline. You can not get bonuses for one flight at the same time in Miles And More (Lufthansa), Finnair Plus and Miles and Smiles (Turkish Airlines), even if any of these companies according to the rules give bonus miles for this flight. You need to choose in which one bonus program you use this flight and this is this card to present (or say the number) during registration.

1) airline whose flight we fly

This is usually quite simple. You always have a flight code that starts with two Latin letters. This is an IATA code for this aircraft. SU - Aeroflot, S7 - S7 (Siberia), Un - Transaero, AF - Airfrance, AZ - Alitalia, LH - Lufthansa, TK - Turkish Airlines, EK - Emirates, etc. If we do not know, to find from what a / to what code is not a problem on the Internet.

2) the tariff for which the ticket was discharged

Here, again, it is necessary to figure it out in detail. Service classes is only three - the first, business and economy. But the classes of booking have a great set for each airline. They are designated one Latin letter. The booking class is prescribed in the ticket separately (booking class, Booking Code, etc.), or this is the first letter in the tariff name.

I will get better in more detail. On the same flight, in the same in the economy class, people fly in different tariffs. Someone bought it to sell about promotional tariffs, someone until recently did not say to fly or not and bought a ticket with the ability to pass or change on flexible tariffs, someone flies on a business trip and bought at the last moment when tickets remained Only in full rates, and someone flies on a premium ticket. Each of them in the ticket is a different booking class. And, accordingly, each of them can get a different number of bonus miles for their flight (or not to get anything).
For example, Aeroflot has tickets to the trail. Booking classes: Economy - Y, B, M, U, K, H, L, Q, T, E, N, P, R, O, X, F, G, R, O, X, F, G, V, Z, Business - J, C, D , I, Z.
If you can not find your tariff in your ticket - you can call the airline and clarify. Know the tariff for which the ticket is issued is the most important thing to properly dispose of bonuses.

3) airline that makes flight

You may have decided that we were mistaken. After all, we already found out the flight of what airline we fly in paragraph 1. But no, there is no mistakes here. A lot of flights are joint and have 2 codes, and sometimes 3. Although physically the aircraft is one! This is called Code Code (Code Sharing). For example, one flight Moscow-Paris may have SU-Aeroflot and AF-AirFrance code. In this case, the aircraft will belong to some one airline - either Aeroflot or Airfrance. Suppose you have bought a ticket at the AirFrance, and Aeroflot flies - in this case, there will be a litter of AF flight in your ticket. (operated by Aeroflot). If not the mark, then the airline is the same as in clause 1. In what cases it is important, we will understand a little later.

4) the duration of the flight

Airlines most often give bonus miles, depending on the distance, which flies each flight. On some sites there are calculators, but they are not always comfortable. In addition, if you fly in your ticket several airplanes you will have to look for it all on different sites, which is inconvenient. But on the Internet there has been a convenient service, measuring distances. For example, this one. It is enough to drive the codes of airports and it will immediately show the distance in the miles in one direction and both.

So, now, when we know everything we need to understand the examples.

Example 1.

We love cheap tickets to Alitalia promotional tariffs to Europe. But they are most often sold at R. for example, Turin, which one time was available 5.7 thousand rubles. So, we know everything that is needed - the carrier-carrier Alitalia, the R Tariff, the flying of Alitalia, the flight duration on the route Moscow-Roman Turin is almost 4,000 miles. How and where to get bonuses?

We start checking. "Cute" Alitalia already selling these tickets on their website reports that in its programs Alitalia Milemiglia we shines 0 miles We look at who else in the SkyTeam Alliance may turn out to be kinder - "good" Aeroflot in his Aeroflot bonus also spit on such travelers - at the rate R alitalia mile are not credited: (Flying Blue from Airfrance and KLM will give 25% And then only for domestic flights (that is, Rome-Turin). Already lowered hands and think that the rest will also be? Re-read the previous article again. All programs are different. Therefore, despair early. The main thing is to find the necessary - if you continue search, then you will definitely come to the Delta Skymiles and your patience will be rewarded 100% From the distance that you flew. For the flight at the R alitalia tariff Moscow-Roman Turin in this program you will earn your 4,000 miles, which, by the way, never burn :)

  1. Check the ability to get bonuses need in several programs.
  2. The company, making a ticket, will not necessarily give more bonuses than another partner.
  3. Miles can and need to save in several programs (especially where they do not burn).
  4. If this is your special case - take note of the Delta program, if you like to fly to Europe on the weekend over the cheap tickets of Alitalia, which are written by discounted Tariffs of the type R.

Example 2.

Two tickets in one. We try to indicate in suggestions such weighty bonuses. Sometimes, even buying a cheap ticket, you actually buy much more. Take a proposal about which we wrote: Svettstiforiforific Iberia in Chile on the routeIrkutsk-Moscow-Madrid-Santiago . The distance is 11500 miles there and as much back. Total 23000 miles. It's a lot. It means buying (very cheap, by the way) a trip to your dream trip, you actually get yourself almost another trip by a bonus. Why? We understand in order.

1) The airline, which we fly - Iberia (IB code). Moreover, this code has all 6 flights, it is important.
2) booking code n
3) Flights from Irkutsk-Moscow are performed by S7, flights Madrid Santiago - LAN airline, Moscow-Madrid flies Iberia to one side, S7 to another.

This example will just show us why it is so important to know who is flies. When we check the Iberia Plus program, we will see that for a discounted economy (and the N tariff applies precisely to this group of tariffs) will give us 80% of the distance on Iberia flights. And, of course, we will not focus on this and go to check other programs (as in the example above). After that, you will quickly find the British Airways Executive Club program, where we will offer 100% of the distance for all flights under Iberia code. Victory? Nearly. Here, then we need to make sure that companies that perform flights on Code Shar (in our case S7 and LAN) will be counted. Here the alliance rule almost always works. If these companies enter the same alliance that the company, in the shortage you are planning to get bonuses, then you will get miles. In this case, everything will be fine, and S7, and LAN are members of OneWorld, like British Airways, so you will receive 100% miles for flights under IBeira code. If some of the flights under Iberia code performed a company not included in OneWorld, in this case Britishairways for this flight would not give bonus miles and we would have to "fold" the Iberia Plus program, even if 80% From distance.

If hard - reread again, this is a very important example. It is important precisely because the most delicious cheap tariffs are very often arising precisely where there is code-Cher and one company sells places for flights.

Further, everything is already simple, we register in the British Airways program, everywhere we specify this number when registering for a flight, we get our 23,000 bonus miles. And then we buy a premium ticket on them. For example, Moscow-London-Moscow on British Airways or Moscow-Verona-Moscow on S7 costs 20,000 miles, Moscow-Berlin-Moscow at AIRBERLIN or Moscow-Ekaterinburg-Moscow on S7 - 15000 miles :)

Make conclusions from this example:

  1. And again - check the opportunity to get bonuses need in several programs.
  2. Be sure to check when buying a ticket, which airline performs each flight.
  3. We look not only where and how many miles can be obtained for the flight, but also that they can then be spent.

Example 3.

The authorities sends you on a business trip to Irkutsk from Moscow. And your favorite company in the face of the Secretary Director should buy you tickets. Here, if you give it to Self, you can suffer very badly :) I have 2 fundamental moments.

First, Aeroflot or S7?

Secondly, at what rate will the tickets buy you?

There is no 5246 miles on Konound. This distance is Moscow-Irkutsk-Moscow, and this is a completely decent number of bonuses.

Suppose that the secretary took you the cheapest thing that was and it turned out to be S7 at the rate R. We will work at how many bonuses we get in different programs for our flight - S7 will give 50% of the distance, i.e. 2623 miles. British Airways, Airberlin, American Airlines - 25%, that is, only 1310 miles. Iberia Plus - 30%, that is, 1570 miles. In any of these programs, this is not enough for any bonus. What is in this case to do? If we still fly S7, we bring themselves s7 priority. If this is a one-time mockery of the body, we add miles to Iberia - according to the terms of the program, they can be combined after a few months with a bill in British Airways, and there they will not disappear, because there are premium tickets for short distances start 4500 bonus miles (for comparison In S7 from 15000). In any case, the material, beat themselves on the head, dismiss the secretary and ask the mortgage boss to fly further on business trips only by the business class.

If you control the process and make sure that the correct tickets were selected, you can significantly win. The same economy class, but already at the rate of H or K will give you 100% in the S7 priority (where you are for these 5,000 miles do not buy anything). But he will also give 100% in Britishairways, where 5000 miles are already enough to a one-way ticket in Kiev, for example, the same S7. And if you suddenly be able to knock out a business class (tariffs D, C, J) from the boss, then the situation will again be the other again. British Airways will give only 125%, that is, 6500 miles, and S7 priority - 200% of the distance - that is, almost 10,500 miles. The ticket to S7 is still not enough, but it is already very close to a minimum of 15,000 back in Russia or short flights to Europe. There is an incentive for another business trip to fly ...

And if you have already accumulated a lot of miles in Aeroflot Bonus, it is better not to suffer in these counts, buy a secretary chocolate and tell me that the S7 has an inconvenient schedule, bad chairs, and in general you are annoyed by their green color as and the Domodedovo airport, and Sheremetyevo You are near the house. Therefore, we ask Aeroflot at a rate not lower than L and calmly get our 4-5 thousand bonus miles to a bonus account in Aeroflot Bonus (where to spend these miles - a separate question).

And again we summarize:

  1. When buying tickets, you do not need to be missed that it fell - you need to look at the tariff for which tickets are bought. Sometimes with a small difference in money (on which no one turns attention, especially if you fly on a business trip) The number of earned miles will differ 3-4 times.
  2. Tickets for one airline depending on the tariff can be beneficial to fold in one or another program.
  3. We definitely take into account our plans for the future - one time we fly to this company or plan to still fly to it in the future.
  4. And again - we look not only where and how many miles can be obtained for the flight, but also for which they can then be spent.
  5. If you fly a lot to work - try to do it with the same airline (or the same alliance) - so faster accumulating bonuses.

And now as a task for checking: Take any suggestion to taste from those that we have been postponed for the last week (except for Transaero, because this airline is not yet included in any Alliance, there is nothing to read there), choose one flight and count Where would you lay miles. If there is a desire - write in the comments, we check your calculations :)

On this all with the second part. Next time let's talk about the accumulation strategies of miles and how many programs need to be joined.

Since 1999, a preferred program for the promotion of passengers has been operating in Aeroflot's airline, which regularly enjoy the popular Russian air carrier flights. To date, the number of participants in the bonus program exceeded one and a half million people, and, a certain part of the participants - citizens of foreign states.

The bonus program involves the accumulation of mile on a personal account, which subsequently can be exchanged for certain services or acquisitions.

In the article, we will look at what bonus miles of Aeroflot, how to charge them after the flight and how to accumulate, is it possible to spend bonuses for a ticket, and you will also get acquainted with the list of partners of the company.

The procedure for accrualing bonus balls in Aeroflot

For each airfare the participant accrue premium balls - bonus miles. The size of the accrual depends on the flight range and the service class.

In addition to flights, you can receive bonuses when using various services provided by Aeroflot partners. For example, a member of the Program can rent a car in another country, rent a room at the hotel or order a table in a restaurant, for which miles will also be credited to the Aeroflot personal account.

Under the terms of the program, the participant lists the miles of two species: qualified and unqualified. The first is to encourage the perfect airfare on Aeroflot flights and other carriers that are members of the Alliance.

Unqualified miles can be obtained by using the services of partner companies. Such bonuses are also accrued to the participants of the Aeroflot's elite club after the flight to the selected direction.

Mile for the flight

The size of bonus miles accrued for the flight is ambiguous and depends on the range of air travel, the service class and the tariff plan. The minimum number of accrued bonuses after each airfare is 500 miles.

Owners - silver, gold and platinum, except the main balls, additional unqualified miles are accrued.

The deadline for the accrual of miles to the participant's personal account - up to 10 days.

Miles for a child

According to the rules of the Aeroflot program for the flight of a minor child, miles are not accrued. To achieve this age, parents can register a young passenger as a separate participant, whose account will receive bonuses for the use of air carrier services.

A specially designed program for minor passengers - Aeroflot Bonus Junior. Children can take part. Bonuses are accrued according to the rules of the standard program, that is, as both adult passengers. When registering in Aeroflot, the bonus junior, parents or guardians indicate the child's data, as well as their passport data for which the participant is issued.

Upon reaching 12 years, the child goes into the Aeroflot program for adults, and its collected miles collected in the children's program, privileges and personal number are automatically saved.

How to find out how much miles accumulated

To take advantage of miles, you need to know how many bonuses have already been collected on a personal account.

The participant can control the number of bonus miles independently, on the airline's website in the Personal Account. There are also two more ways to check bonuses on the account: by phone or in writing, sending an application by mail to Aeroflot. The letter must specify the name, passport data and the individual number of the bonus card.

Also, the airline once a year sends every participant emails to the E-Mail specified when registering, where information on the number of mile on the account is indicated.

What can be changed by the Mile Aeroflot

Aeroflot's airline offers bonus program participants to exchange collected miles for various services and goods. The higher the level of the participant in the program, which is determined by the status of the map, the greater the possibilities.

What to spend bonus miles:

  • on the purchase of air tickets Aeroflot, as well as on flight partners;
  • to improve the class of service in the plane;
  • choosing a better place in the cabin;
  • for goods and services of various companies that are partners Aeroflot.

For the collected miles, you can buy goods for home and cottages, clothes, perfumes, sports equipment and much more. Bonuses can also be used as payment for the rented car, booking room at the hotel or table in the restaurant.

Bonus balls can also be translated as a gift to a friend, transfer to charity and use to exchange certificates, souvenirs and various products presented in the Aeroflot directory.

Rules for buying tickets for miles

The most common way to exchange mile is the purchase of plane tickets. To use this service, the participant of the bonus program must be pre-familiar with the basic rules.

Rules of the bonus program:

  • The air fare includes carrier's tariffing and additional fees constituting 20-50% of the total cost. You can pay for miles air ticket, but they compensate for the carrier's tariff, and the rest of the percentage of the passenger fees will have to pay extra money.
  • There are some restrictions on the directions and dates. That is, it is possible to buy a ticket for the collected miles, but not all flights.
  • Accumulated bonus miles are allowed to use on the purchase of air ticket for two years. At the expiration of this term, balls on the account of the participant burn. For subsequent flights, new miles are accrued, the validity of which also ends in a couple of years.

For nothing, it shines a friend - only 30,000 miles and fees.

Check on the Aeroflot website confirms my doubts: this is the case when it is better to buy for money. I'll tell you why.

What is mile "Aeroflot-bonus"

Miles are units that airline evaluates passenger loyalty. This scheme acts here as in stores: you buy goods - you get bonuses - spend them on other goods. In this case, you buy tickets - you get miles - spend on other tickets, hotels or rental cars.

The Aeroflot-Bonus program encourages the loyalty of frequently flying passengers, accrueming miles for the use of the company's services. They do not have official cash equivalent, but when used can be considered the price, because you will change a certain amount of miles to the service with a certain value. And just like when exchanged currency, you can hand over your accumulated bonuses-miles at a favorable and disadvantageous course.

The more often you fly, the more you get bonuses and the higher your status. The program has three elite levels: silver, gold and platinum. Participants of such elite levels can receive additional miles for each flight by Aeroflot or Airlines - a partner of the program.

For which miles are accrued

Loyalty program "Aeroflot Bonus" It offers two ways to accumulate miles: fly by Aeroflot flights and use the services of partners.

These miles are called - qualifying. To switch from the baseline to the next, silver, you need to recruit 25,000 qualifying miles for the year or fly away somewhere "Aeroflot".

Miles in the Aeroflot-Bonus program are charged for flights on regular flights "Aeroflot" or airlines that have become partners of the program. When buying tickets, you need to pay attention to the tariffs: not all tariffs are involved in the accrual of miles.

Miles in the program are given on the basis of the distance in miles between the airports of departure and arrival and the tariff specified in the ticket. Miles get only for the perfect flights.

Miles are charged for each cut path. Such segments are called flight segments. If you fly in flight Moscow - Istanbul - Delhi, you will have two flight segments. If you took a ticket at some of these tracks on the tariff that does not participate in the accrual of miles, you are not charged for this flight segment.

For flights to a distance of less than 500 miles to the participant's account, 500 miles are credited. If you flew by a partner airline, calculate miles can be different. This is when the agreement between Aeroflot and the partner involves another procedure for calculating. Find out how in this case miles will be accrued, you can in the "Partners" section.

If you have already played regular flights of Aeroflot and only time later registered in the loyalty program, you will be charged by qualifying miles for all flights that happened within 6 months before the date of registration in the program, if tickets were bought on tariffs participating in miles accrual.

To take into account these flights in the program, make data about them in the Personal Account in the "Candle Mile" section or direct "Aeroflot Bonus" Flight documentation is a copy of the route receipt and originals or copies of the boarding pass. You have for 3 months from the date of registration in the program.

If a forced transplantation occurs from one Aeroflot flight to another or on the flight of the partner's airline and the new route will differ from the initial, the miles are charged with the actual flight. If the flight is canceled and you will be transferred to another airline that is not included in the program, you do not charge miles.

Miles for the purchase of goods or services of the program partners. If the work is not related to business trips and on vacation it turns out to get out a couple of times a year, it is interesting to save the unqualified miles. They get them, using the goods and services of the program partners: hotels, car rental services, restaurants, banks. These miles can only be spent on a premium ticket, to qualify for the elite level they are not taken into account.

Miles for partner products are charged by the participant after registering in the program. Goods and services purchased before registration, miles do not participate in the set. Not all products of partners involve the accrual of miles. You can find out what is involved in the program, and what is not, directly from the seller.

Miles will automatically go to your account - it takes up to 60 days from the date of payment of the product or service of a partner if you charged the program of the program. And to do it before you form a check. Restore miles after the fact of payment will not work.

If you are all done correctly, but the miles on your account were not displayed within the prescribed period, direct "Aeroflot Bonus" Application for restoring miles and a copy of the document confirming the receipt of the service. You have a year from the date of the service partner. Exception - if the conditions for cooperation between Aeroflot with this company suggest a different period.

Miles for booking hotels. One of the partners of Aeroflot is a booking service of Booking.com. Booking hotels on this site you can get miles. Please note: they will be accrued only when moving to Booking.com from the Aeroflot site. Miles are accrued automatically no later than 60 days after the hotel is completed.

When booking, specify the program member number "Aeroflot Bonus". If you forget or enrich incorrect, you can update the data when booking confirmation.

If you book a room for multiple program participants "Aeroflot Bonus"Miles are only charged to someone alone.

In which cases, miles are not accrued

If you acquire something for miles, the simultaneous accrual of new miles for the purchase will not be. Or accrual, or write-off, but not both together.

Miles are not charged for lost, unused or expired flights. Also, miles are not charged at premium airfares, free tickets from charter flights, tickets paid by special tariffs.

It is easier to not understand what type of tariff is, but to determine before buying, whether miles will be given for your ticket. To do this, on the Aeroflot website, enter the city of departure and the city of arrival and click "Find".



How to check the number of miles

You can see the number of miles in your personal account on the airline website or call the Aeroflot Call Center.

Is there a miles price

Miles get free. This is a loyalty premium. On the other hand, they can pay for tickets. Miles become a means of calculating between the passenger and the airline, such a surrogate of the currency. Like any currency, Mile has a course. It may be profitable and not very.

When you sell currency, for example, the euro after a trip to the conditional Spain, you carefully choose the exchanger. It is unprofitable to change 68 rubles, if they take 70 on the next street. With miles the same thing: buying a premium ticket, you sell Miles Aeroflot. To sell mile more expensive, you need to know how to evaluate it.

How to count the price of miles

My friends every ticket cost 30,000 miles and 5880 rubles of fees:


By choosing the usual payment method, in the same dates and the same economy class in Barcelona can be flown for 14,465 rubles:


If you deduct the amount of fees from the full cost of the ticket, and then divide the result by a mile rate, you will get a course of miles:

(14 465 − 5880) / 30 000 = 0,286

Friends sold 30,000 miles of 28.6 kopecks for Mile. Is it expensive or not so?

To understand, compare with another flight. A ticket to Havana costs 46,816 p:


But the conditions of the premium ticket in the same direction:


70,000 miles in exchange for 33,796 rubles. This option is better - now mile costs 48 kopecks.

To use Aeroflot-bonus to complete, you need to make the habit of considering miles and their cost. It will help not only more expensive to sell miles, but also faster their accumulation.

How to save miles if you rarely fly

The easiest way to type miles, using the services of the program partners. The list is dozens of companies, from Sberbank to the store "Moskoztorg". Principle one: spend money - you get a bonus.

For example, every 30 rubles left in any of Novikov-Group restaurants, bring one mile to account. And the order of food through the Delivery-Club service is the same mile for every 23 rubles. With Internet services, the condition is valid: you need to go to the partner's website from the Aeroflot Bonus program.

Aeroflot Bonus and Partner Banks

It is easiest to recruit miles, using a partner bank card. Many banks offer joint programs: credit and debit cards. Pay your usual expenses - in return you get miles. For a certain amount spent on a map for a month or other period set by the Bank, you will charge a certain amount of miles.

Partners are changing, and it is better to follow this. When a new bank appears in the program, miles on its cards usually dripping more than on bank cards - program veterans.

Usually, the mile cards have several status. The higher the status, the more miles it generates. The mid-level map gives more miles than the usual, premium - even more.

At the cost of cards can be saved. In banks regularly pass shares, you just need to ask. Here as a discount: you will not receive, until you ask. Platinum banknotes brought me a 60,000 miles of Aeroflot last year. The grace period is over, and I closed it without loss.

What to do if the banks do not offer interesting conditions. First, remember that miles have the price - we will define it in the area of \u200b\u200b38 kopecks on the results of two examples. Then estimate the monthly expenses that are ready to pay for the card. Finally, compare how much miles will get a map for the year.

The average card will bring 14,000 miles more than the basic. On our exchange rate, it is 5320 rubles that cover the cost of annual card maintenance. It makes sense to take. But the premium does not reach: you need to spend more or choose another card.

How many miles live

The shelf life of miles depends on the conditions of the loyalty program. For example, Miles All Airlines live 5 years, and the Miles of Aeroflot burn, if not flying for money at least once every 2 years.

In order not to lose the received miles, find out how much they will act and what needs to be done so that they do not burn.

When and how to spend

The program is designed so that the cost of mile depends on the amount you spend on the flight. The higher the price of the ticket, the more expensive you can sell the "Aeroflot" mile. So it was both in the example above with Barcelona and Havana.

The highest price for Mile will be released while raising a class with an economy to business. We will have to buy economy premium - with tariffs below it does not work - and spend the same mile as needed to a premium ticket. But the value of mile will be above one ruble - it turns out to be decently saved on the flight in the business class. But you need to understand that you pay extra for comfort, and not for extra kilometers in the sky.

If not ready to spend money on economy premium, you need to catch special offers. Interesting vacation options or a short trip are found in the Light Award shares when the mile of flights falls on a quarter. The action takes place several times a year and includes popular directions. ON THE START "Light-Eward" notifies the airline mailing.

Cheaper than all miles are evaluated in the online store "Aeroflot-Bonus". There you can buy a suitcase, tenth iPhone or cinema. Before you think about buying, remember our lessons of mile arithmetic. Consider where it is more profitable to buy.



How to translate mile to another person

The program "Aeroflot-Bonus" exists a service "Translation Mil". With it, you can pass your mile to another person. The prerequisite is the presence of a participant in the account that conveys bonus miles, at least one flight "Aeroflot" over the past 24 months, for which miles gave. To translate miles, you must be registered in the program "Aeroflot Bonus" Not less than 90 days before the date of translation miles.

You can translate no more than 50,000 miles per calendar year and no more than 5,000 miles per transaction. The translated amount of miles should be multiple 500.

The recipient will be able to take no more than 50,000 miles from one or different people. This quantity should meet 10 transactions within one calendar year.

Translated bonus miles will be unqualified for the recipient and will not affect the transition to the elite level or the preservation of the elite level in the program.

For the translation of the mile "Aeroflot" takes the commission. You will see it in the participant's personal account in the "spend mile" section when placing translation. This is a fixed amount - 600 rubles for each transaction. Payment is made in rubles.

Participants in elite levels are allowed to translate miles with a commission in miles in the amount of 20% of the number of translatable miles. For translations with the Commission in miles such limits are operating:

  • participants of the Silver Level can translate no more than 10,000 miles per calendar year;
  • participants of the "Golden Level" - no more than 20,000 miles per calendar year;
  • participants of the "platinum level" - no more than 30,000 miles per calendar year. For other translations, the Commission will be in rubles.

Cancel Decorated Translation Miles It is impossible: Return the bonus miles translated from the account and the commission will not work.

Can I buy or sell the mile "Aeroflot"

Aeroflot prohibits selling bonus miles, including with the help of transferring them for remuneration. If you find out that someone sold or bought miles, Aeroflot has the right to cancel the missed miles, cancel or block an account for any time, cancel the elite level of the seller and the buyer. Costs will not compete.

Remember

  1. To fly for miles, you do not need to be an avid traveler.
  2. Pay miles - it means to pay money.
  3. With the help of a bank card really fly for miles once a year. Choosing a map, it is useful to consider miles and their cost.
