How many rubles in 1 mile Aeroflot. Aeroflot bonus card: how miles are credited. Free class upgrade upon check-in for Aeroflot flights

Imagine, the first frequent flyer program appeared in 1972! I wasn't even around then. A few years later, American Airlines “finished” this project, and a system for accounting and accumulating miles appeared, which is known to everyone today. Even Russian Railways recently introduced a similar system for rail passengers, and miles are credited not only for flights, but also for spending on a bank card.

I have been using the Aeroflot mile program in my bank for a long time, but since February 1, they have changed the conditions for accruing bonus miles on debit and credit cards. If earlier one mile was charged for every 30 rubles, now the rate has increased to 60 rubles. It's sad, but understandable.

I have long wanted to write about miles and this system, and then an opportunity presented itself. Guys from Tinkoff Bank approached me with an offer to advertise them and provided me with financial analytics of current proposals for mile cards on the Russian market. This is very interesting data that shows the real situation in terms of the profitability of certain cards. Let's understand: what are miles, how they are accrued and spent.

Essence of miles

The airlines are simple. You fly, you earn bonus miles. After a few flights, you can spend those miles on tickets or services: an upgrade to business class, extra baggage, or something else. Banks do not accrue bonus miles for flights, but for card purchases. Miles can be spent on tickets, hotel reservations and other services, depending on the bank.

What is the point of banks doing this? When you buy something with a card, your seller pays a commission to the bank: on average, from 2% to 4% of the purchase amount. This commission is the economic basis of the card payment system. Everyone earns on it: your bank, your seller's bank and the payment system. It is beneficial for the bank that you use the card as often as possible. It is desirable that the card becomes your main payment instrument. Even if you have a credit card, it is not so important for the bank to receive interest from you as to encourage you to make purchases as often as possible. Banks do not earn on you, but on sellers.

In fact, miles are a certain type of cashback, the return of part of the funds spent for regular use of a bank card.

Miles accrual

If airlines accrue miles based on flight distance, class of service, etc., then miles on a bank card accrue based on the amount of your payments. On the All Airlines card of Tinkoff Bank, 2% of any purchases made on the card are charged. Other cards have the same mechanics. You spend from the card, you get a percentage of spending in the form of miles. But the rates for accruing miles for purchases are different. For the same purchases from different cards, a different number of miles will be returned.

Let's say you spend 70,000 a month - i.e. 840,000 a year. Let's take the popular mile cards and see how many miles are returned:

As we can see, the cards of Sberbank, Russian Standard and Raiffeisen banks brought the most miles. All Airlines from Tinkoff Bank returned only 16,800 miles to the owner. Against the background of other maps - not a very remarkable result. But let's figure it out: is 40,000 miles a lot or a little? In the US, some programs can earn you as much as 50,000 welcome miles. Here we come to an important point - the real value of miles.

Miles value

Everyone has the same principle: first you accumulate miles, and then they turn into money. But each bank has its own conversion rate from miles to rubles. For example, 1 mile in Vanguard is 36 kopecks. Russian Standard has 1 mile equal to 50 kopecks. In the All Airlines card program, 1 mile is equal to 1 ruble. That is, 100 miles is 100 rubles.

Let's say you want to buy a ticket to Barcelona and back for 14,500 rubles. Here's how many miles you need to get such a ticket:

So far, it turns out that the most profitable cards are VTB24 Transaero Platinum (connected to the Transaero Privilege program) and All Airlines. Both cards outperform all other major competitors in terms of value from the same baseline.

But there are a few more important points that need to be said.

1. Taxes and fees. Not all reward programs allow you to pay the full price of the ticket in miles. The fact is that the ticket price consists of two components: the fare and taxes / fees. Typically, taxes and fees range from 20 to 50% of the ticket price. Ticket sites show us the final prices right away, but you can find out more about this on the airline sites. For almost all programs with airlines, you only compensate for the fare. Service fees and taxes will have to be paid by yourself. At All Airlines, service costs are compensated in the same way as the ticket itself. You won't have to pay.

2. The cost of annual maintenance. In fact, this is a subscription fee for using the card. Here again we have to turn to the data:

VTB24 Transaero Platinum costs 11,050 rubles a year, which is practically the cost of a whole ticket.

3. Choice of flights. Almost all bonus programs from the list have a significant limitation. The fact is that you cannot buy any ticket for miles. You will face restrictions by country, date, airline, or purchase method. With cards linked to Aeroflot, you can only fly with Aeroflot and partners. With Transaero cards (including VTB24) - only Transaero and its partners.

There are no such restrictions on ALL Airlines. You can buy with miles any ticket of any airline in any direction, on any date, in any place and through any search engine or agent. Including low-cost airlines (Ryanair, Pobeda, etc.). The only conditions are the payment of the ticket with an ALL Airlines card and the opportunity to compensate the cost of the ticket with miles only in full. There is no partial surcharge, as in some other banks.

But you will be able to "accumulate" miles after purchasing a ticket - no one else has such an option. While at other banks you need to know in advance whether to redeem miles, with All Airlines you will be able to refund your ticket within three months after the flight. During this time, you can earn more miles.

4. Validity of miles and "activation" of miles. Everything is simple here: for all cards from the list, inactive miles burn out every 2 years. Did not have time - lost the accumulated miles. ALL Airlines miles only expire once every 5 years. "Not in time" will be difficult. In addition, in order to use Aeroflot bonus miles, you must first fly somewhere with Aeroflot at your own expense. This "activates" the miles. You understand that this flight will also cost you money.

5. Accrual of miles for the bonus flight itself. For an ALL Airlines bonus flight, you will also receive miles from the airline itself, since for airlines this is a regular ticket purchased with your funds. No restrictions are placed on it. The benefit is twofold: you continue to earn Airline Miles on your flights and at the same time earn ALL Airlines Miles on purchases.

Bonuses

Each mile program has its perks. These can be welcome miles, increased birthday miles, discounts from partners, etc. In the case of All Airlines, you will be given an increased mileage cashback for spending in the travel sector. For example, for buying air tickets through travel.tinkoff.ru you get not 2%, but 5%, and 10% is returned for booking hotels and cars.

Example: you buy a ticket for 28,000 rubles, which you are going to compensate with miles. The ticket is free for you, but the bank will still refund you 5% - that's 1,400 miles. They can be used to compensate for the next flight. Spending 70,000 rubles per month on the card and 100,000 per year on the tourist category, you will earn approximately 21,000 miles. 21,000 miles is, if anything, a free ticket to Singapore and back.

Let's summarize.

The case is this: you spend 100,000 rubles a month from the card and are going to fly to Tel Aviv for 14,500 rubles. The ticket price consists of the fare (8,000 rubles) and airline fees and taxes (6,500 rubles).

Conclusions on the table:

Surcharge for fees. In most cards, you will have to pay a significant amount for tickets - airline fees and taxes.

How many of these tickets can you buy in a year. Some cards will not allow you to fly for free. It will take more than a year to accumulate miles (or you will have to spend more than 100,000 rubles per month from the card). With All Airlines, you will definitely get any ticket for free, and in the very first year of use. When you spend 15,000 on your ticket refund, you will still have 10,000 miles left. You can fly anywhere on them if the ticket costs less than 9,000 rubles.

How many miles you get for buying a ticket. Here All Airlines is in the lead: for the purchase of a ticket, you will receive an additional 1,200 miles that can be spent on the next ticket.

All Airlines is a value proposition for travelers or those who fly regularly on vacation. I fly frequently and will most likely continue to use both my bank card and the All Airlines card. There is a little trick here: the guys from Tinkoff Bank suggested that All Airlines does not interfere with using other bonus programs.

For example, I can still spend Aeroflot bonuses, and with the help of All Airlines, I can compensate for service fees for which I previously had to pay extra separately. Or I can compensate for the purchase of a ticket with the help of All Airlines, and Aeroflot bonuses will help me upgrade my flight to business class.

In addition, the card has a rich set of banking services:

— credit limit up to 700,000 rubles;
— interest-free period up to 55 days;
— 1000 miles as a gift (you need to make one purchase from the card);
- free travel insurance (will be used for obtaining a visa);

You can fill out an application for an All Airlines card

Any client over the age of two has the opportunity to take part in the promotion; for this, there is a specialized program "Aeroflot Bonus Junior", it is intended for children aged 2 to 12 years. In this case, all the conditions of the main program are also valid for it.

Important! A separate participation card is issued for each passenger!

Before you start accumulating Aeroflot Bonus miles, you need to fill out an application for participation.

After visiting the page, you must agree to the terms of the promotion by checking the appropriate box. After that, you need to register.

There are two options for promotional points: qualifying and non-qualifying. Points are credited after purchasing a ticket for an Aeroflot flight or any of its partners. Achieving Prestige Membership status, Premium Flights and Upgrading your ticket class are options for redeeming qualifying miles.

And those points that are awarded for using the services of Aeroflot partners are considered non-qualifying. It is worth considering that they cannot be spent to improve your status as a member.

If you have become a participant in the promotion and are a client of Sberbank, then the accrual of points will depend on the type of card used. If your card is Aeroflot Classic, then for every dollar or euro that you spend, it is credited with a mile. A mile is also credited for spending every 50 rubles. If you have an Aeroflot Gold card, then the coefficient will be 1.5 miles per dollar or euro. For newly joined participants, starting miles are accrued: for Classic - 500 miles and for Gold - 1000 miles.

and loyalty programs are so popular in the modern world that they have become perceived by consumers as an indispensable element of spending money.

What are bonus miles? Units of measurement for customer loyalty are essentially similar to the system of bonuses in supermarkets and other retail chains. Bonus points are awarded for the purchase of tickets for flights of airlines and their partners. The account is also replenished upon registration in the program, participation in various special offers and when paying with credit and debit cards of some banks for everyday expenses.

Note! The name "mile" is conditional and does not mean that with a bonus account balance of 1544 points, it is possible to purchase a free ticket and overcome, for example, 2487 km from Moscow to Paris. One mile of Aeroflot is one standard unit of measurement of the amount left by the buyer at the box office of the carrier and partner companies.

Kinds

There are two types of airline bonus points: status (or qualifying) and award points, i.e. non-qualifying. Bonuses can be used to upgrade the class of service or directly to purchase a ticket.

Status miles will help you avoid queues at the check-in counter

As a rule, it is possible to replenish the balance of award points only by purchasing air tickets. By leaving their hard-earned money at the ticket offices of the airline's partners, customers increase the number of qualifying (status) bonuses. Status miles provide a higher level of service, access to the VIP lounge, and extraordinary check-in for a flight.

Important! The airline will allow you to spend qualifying miles only if you have a certain amount of award miles on your account. Passengers who have made a purchase for a large amount from the partners of the airline, but have not bought a single ticket, will not be able to use any of the benefits of the bonus system in this case!

Profitable flight arithmetic

Program conditions

To maintain a high status, flights must be regular - qualifying miles are reset annually, on December 31st. Award miles also have an expiration date, after which they expire.

The choice of the bonus program always remains with the buyer. It is more reasonable to register the accumulation of miles in those airlines with which the passenger flies most often. Travelers who fly frequently abroad can benefit from an overseas alliance program that includes airlines from Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas.

For clients who often fly on business trips in Russia, it is preferable to use the bonus systems of domestic air carriers. The essence of loyalty systems lies in this - ceteris paribus, in choosing an airline, a passenger will be faithful to one that will accrue bonus points for each flight and payment for additional services. Obvious benefits of the reward system from its air carrier the client sees when the number of annual flights exceeds four or five flights per year.

Fly more, get more

Aeroflot's bonus system is the first one that Russians have heard of. Since 1999, the company has introduced a system to reward loyal customers. The number of program participants increased significantly in 2002, when the country's main air carrier issued a special bank card for accumulating miles in cooperation with the main domestic bank.

To join the passenger bonus program, it is enough to purchase one of the bank cards of partner banks or fill out a form on the Aeroflot website. It is enough to enter your full name, contact phone number, email address and date of birth in the form, and you can start accumulating the cherished Aeroflot miles (miles) to purchase a free award ticket.

Aeroflot Bonus is the most popular air passenger reward program among Russian citizens. First of all, this is due to the long history of the airline and its stable reputation. The market share occupied by Aeroflot also plays a no less important role. It is from this carrier that you can buy a ticket at almost any airport in the country for any direction. Among the participants of the program, the share of foreign residents is also large, since Aeroflot is also known all over the world in the market of international flights.

Benefits of the program

When joining the Aeroflot Bonus program, you need to consider the main advantages of accumulating bonus miles. The main advantage of this reward system is that points can be accumulated faster than in any other loyalty program due to a large number of banks air carriers participating in the distribution of Aeroflot miles.

From the moment of registration in the Aeroflot Bonus system, the passenger begins to accumulate his miles and replenish the balance of the bonus account. And here comes the excitement - to use the incentive program as efficiently as possible, to get as many privileges as possible.

How to accumulate the maximum possible bonus

There are two main ways to earn miles - fly Skyteam flights as often as possible or use Visa Aeroflot Gold bank cards.

The company is a member of the SkyTeam aviation alliance. It is possible to earn and spend miles not only on Aeroflot flights, but also on twenty other airlines.

The members of the alliance include the following eminent air carriers: Alitalia, KLM, China Airlines, Air France.

The loyalty system does not limit the choice of airline.

A complete list of all participants can be seen on the alliance website, in the "Partners" section. The Alliance is one of the three largest cooperations in the market of international and domestic air transportation and includes the leading airlines of many countries. This means that even if the client could not find the right flight to the chosen destination at the Aeroflot ticket office, he still continues to accumulate bonus points by buying tickets from alliance companies.

Important! You can also use your accumulated miles with any of the 20 carriers, since the loyalty system is common for all members of the alliance.

Accumulating miles with bank cards, whether debit or credit, is very beneficial for customers who prefer plastic to cash. For such purchases, the bank accrues award miles to the bonus account.

Attention! Miles accumulated on the bank's plastic cards expire after 24 months if the Aeroflot Bonus program participant has not made a single flight over the past two years.

Partner banks

Five banks participate in Aeroflot's bonus program. Aeroflot Bonus Partners:

• Sberbank;
• Alfa Bank;
• Bank opening";
• SMP Bank;
• Citibank.

The more funds spent on a credit card, the more bonuses you can get. For every 60 rubles spent, the participant will receive up to three miles in the Otkritie financial company, up to two points for similar expenses will be credited by Sberbank, Alfa-Bank. 1.75 miles for every 60 rubles will bring a purchase with an SMP bank card, and spending on Citibank cards is converted at the rate of 60 to 1.

To start accumulating miles, you need to issue and activate a bank card and just start using it. Each visit to the store or purchase on the Internet brings additional bonuses to the mile account.

How to find out the number of miles

The number of savings for previous flights can be viewed at any time in your Aeroflot Bonus account, for this you need to go to the official website of Aeroflot Airlines. Both the value of award and status points are displayed. Here you can also calculate the number of bonus miles that the client will receive for scheduled flights, as well as see how many points you need to accumulate to purchase an award ticket using the "Calculator" section.

The conditions for accumulating deductions and accumulating miles in the description of bonus programs must be read carefully

To calculate, you need to enter the point of departure and destination into the Aeroflot miles calculator, select the Aeroflot Bonus status and fare type.

Example. If a newcomer to the program with a basic status and planning a flight Moscow - London - Moscow, depending on the fare, he will be credited from 1000 to 7750 bonus miles. The minimum value corresponds to the promo fare, the most points can be accumulated when buying a business class ticket. If a passenger wants to buy a ticket for the same destination with the accumulated miles, he will need 30,000 points for traveling in economy class and 60,000 points for traveling in business class.

For 30,000 conditional loyalty units, it is possible to upgrade the class of service. When purchasing a ticket for money in the economy cabin, at the check-in counter, the passenger can exchange the accumulated miles for a business class pass. It is easy to calculate that about every tenth ticket Aeroflot is ready to sell for bonus points. Taking into account the expiration date of miles, which expire two years from the date of accrual, the conclusion suggests itself that it is necessary to fly 5 times a year.
