"Priority" is an airline loyalty program from S7 (Siberia). Since S7 is a member of the aviation alliance, route opportunities are expanding. Indeed, the alliance includes more than 10 airlines around the world!

Become a member of the program

You can register on the site. Or by calling 8-800-100-77-11 (call within Russia is free). Or by registering with a program partner. Persons under 12 years old are not allowed to participate.

If you register on the site, you will receive a surprise from S7 - 500 miles per card. After registration (in any way), a personal number and PIN-code will be sent to the participant's e-mail. When purchasing a ticket, you will need to give your number. A month after the flight, a Welcome package from S7 will arrive at your home address. It includes a plastic membership card and information materials.

You can earn miles for regular S7 flights made three months before registration in the program. In this case, you will need to provide evidence: copies of air tickets, itinerary receipts, boarding passes.

Types of miles

There are two types of miles in the program: status and bonus miles.

Bonus miles - those that can be spent on the purchase of air tickets, goods of program partners or payment for their services, upgrade of the service class. Bonus miles are credited for self-registration on the website, using the services of partners, air travel, etc.

Status miles - increase the status of a program member. They are credited only for flights of regular S7 flights and flights of airlines-members of the Oneworld alliance. The use of the services of some program partners gives the right to receive status miles, but you need to find out about this additionally.

Member statuses

There are 4 types of cards: classic, silver, gold and platinum.

For each flight, status miles are credited to the card, which bring you closer to elite status. What does elite status give? More bonus miles for flights (25% Silver, 50% Gold, 75% Platinum). Check-in at business-class counters, priority when choosing seats in the cabin, the possibility of carrying additional free baggage and other nice little things. Holders of gold and platinum cards can wait for their flight at the Oneworld Lounges. The list of airports with Oneworld lounges can be viewed (unfortunately, information is not provided in Russian).

Status miles are not perpetual. They are valid until the end of the calendar year following the year in which the flight was made. If after this time you have not switched to a new level of service, status miles will be recruited. The same system applies to the validity period of the member's status.

To obtain Silver status, you need to collect 20,000 status miles, Gold - 50,000, Platinum - 75,000. The card is sent to the member within a month after the status is assigned. It will also indicate the status of the Oneworld aviation alliance bonus program (Silver is equivalent to Ruby, Gold is Sapphire, Platinum is Emerald).

How to earn miles

Air travel. Miles are credited for paid and performed flights on regular flights of S7 or airline partners of the program. The longer the distance that you cover, the higher the tariff and class of service, the more miles will be credited to your account. Miles are credited as a percentage of the distance from the departure airport to the arrival airport. The unit of account is a mile, which is 1609 km.

Banking services. S7 jointly with Alfa-Bank and UniCredit Bank issued bank cards. With them, you can pay for purchases and receive bonus miles for this. UniCredit Bank gives its customers 1 mile for every 30 rubles spent from the card, Alfa-Bank from 1 to 1.5. Welcome miles are credited when the card is issued. You can order a card at a bank branch by calling the Service Center or registering on the website. Banks often arrange promotions and give miles. For example, now Alfa-Bank has a Friend Miles program - bring a friend and get up to 4000 miles to your account.

Partners. By using the services or purchasing goods from program partners, you also replenish your mileage account. S7 has a standard choice:

• Hotels, including international chains - Radisson Blu, Park Inn, a number of hotels in the South of Russia (Sochi, Tuapse, etc.), in Moscow and the northern capital and large cities of the country.
• Perekrestok retail chain. When you shop at the Perekrestok supermarkets, you collect points, which you then exchange for miles at a rate of 10 to 1.
• Car rental services (companies "Avis" and "Sixt" offering car rental all over the world) and city taxi of business class "Komandir.taxi".

In addition, you can insure yourself and insure property with a company

Chartis, get an education and learn languages \u200b\u200bat EF Education First and Language direct, relax in the Thai-Spa chain spas or the Central Park of Culture and Leisure. Gorky, order tours in the i-Travel.ru online travel store and collect, collect, collect miles. Please note that S7 Airlines has its own tour operator, S7 Tour, with which you can also earn miles.

In Moscow (Domodedovo) and Novosibirsk (Tolmachevo) there are S7 business lounges, where passengers flying out in business class can relax. When issuing an invitation ticket to the business lounge, 250 miles are credited to the card.

How to spend miles

Purchase of air tickets. An award ticket is eligible for those who have enough miles on their account and have at least 1 paid S7 flight recorded.

Booking an award ticket is possible only through a special form on the airline's website in the Member's Personal Account.

You can book an air ticket for an S7 flight at two fares: "Optimum" and "Priority". The first fare ticket provides a lower mileage deduction, but the number of seats for this fare is limited. The "Priority" fare is paid triple the "Optimum" fare, but it is possible to take any seat in the aircraft cabin and change the departure date.

Still, you need to pay extra when you receive an award ticket! It does not include airport taxes and fuel surcharges.

The air ticket can be issued to a third party. But not more than 10 times a year.

Service class upgrade. You can upgrade your service class only on regular S7 flights. Service class cannot be upgraded for award tickets. The procedure is performed only through the Service Center. If you think that flying in Business Class will double your miles, you are wrong. They will be credited according to the price you paid, that is, for an economy class ticket.

Miles validity

Priority miles are valid until the end of the year in which they were earned and for another 2 calendar years. But they can be extended for another 1 year if you are an active member. That is, they made at least 3 flights this year with S7 or Oneworld airlines. Or you have accumulated at least 5,000 miles using your bank cards.

REGISTRATION IN THE S7 PRIORITY PROGRAM AND TYPES OF MILES

There are three ways to register in the S7 Priority program:

• By filling out a special form on the official website of S7 Airlines.
• Having issued a bank card from a partner bank. Currently, there are three such partner banks: Alfa-Bank, UniCredit Bank and Bank of Moscow.
• By calling the S7 Priority Service Center 8-800-100-77-11 (call within Russia is free).

After registering in the S7 Priority program, you can start collecting miles. There are two types of accumulated miles - bonus and status.

Status miles allow you to upgrade your membership status in the S7 Priority program to elite. The higher the class, the more miles you earn for the flight. There is only one way to accumulate status miles: - making regular flights with S7 Airlines and airlines that are members of the OneWorld alliance.

In total, S7 Priority provides three elite statuses:

• Silver - increases the number of miles accrued for flights by 25%.
• Gold - increases the number of miles accrued for flights by 50%.
• Platinum - increases the number of miles accrued for flights by 100%.

To get one of the elite statuses, you need to accumulate a certain number of status miles in 1 year: 20,000 - to achieve silver status, 50,000 - to achieve gold, 75,000 - to achieve platinum.
All elite statuses are valid for a limited period. Each of them is valid for one year following the year of the flight, after which the status was assigned. However, if the member of the bonus program is under 12 years old, his miles do not expire.

Bonus miles accumulate for flights on flights of airlines-members of the OneWorld alliance and purchases from program partners. This type of miles can be redeemed for an air ticket, a service class upgrade or for goods and services provided by partner companies.
Unlike status miles, bonus miles accumulated as a result of purchases from program partners do not expire one year after they are accrued. But you can spend them on purchasing an air ticket only if you have made at least one flight with S7 Airlines during the current calendar year.

Unlike the mile Aeroflot, the S7 Priority program is beneficial when purchasing air tickets to many European destinations.
In both programs, such a purchase will deduct a comparable number of miles, but the cash fees in the S7 mile program are significantly lower. For example, the taxes for a flight to Alicante (Spain) and back will be only 1,000 rubles.

Upgrade service class
On regular S7 flights, you can exchange your economy ticket for a seat in business class for 3,750 miles. However, such an upgrade is not possible if the ticket itself was also purchased for bonus miles.

Fly long distances in business class.
If you have accumulated a large number of miles, it is profitable to use them on a business class ticket to remote points of the country and the world. For example, in the following areas:

• Moscow-Khabarovsk-Moscow. The monetary value of such a ticket is 115,540 rubles. When paying under the bonus program, 70,000 miles and an additional payment of 6,000 rubles will be required. in the form of a dachshund. The savings will amount to 109,540 rubles.
• Moscow-Baku-Moscow. The monetary value of such a ticket is 60,000 rubles. However, 40,000 miles will be removed from the membership card of the bonus program, and additional fees will have to be paid in the amount of only 3,500 rubles. Saving 56,500 rubles.

Fly with other OneWorld members.
You can use S7 miles to pay for a ticket on one of 150 flights operated by 15 airlines that are members of the OneWorld alliance. For example, a domestic flight within Europe * in one direction can be made for 7,500 miles, and for a one-way flight from Russia to Europe - for 12,500 miles.
* In this case, S7 understands a domestic flight as a flight within one country, as well as flights between China and Hong Kong and flights between the United States and Canada (excluding Hawaii).

Send miles to charity.
Among the partners of S7 Priority is the Tomsk fund "Ordinary Miracle". He helps families with a seriously ill child. The accumulated miles can be transferred to a fund - they will be used to purchase air tickets for children who need to fly to another city or country for treatment. In order to transfer miles to those in need, you can use your personal account on the airline's website or call the service center by calling the hotline 8-800-100-77-11.
