S7 priority how miles are credited. Bonus miles under the Priority program from S7 airlines: how to accumulate and spend? Earn Miles & Banks

Many people have heard about the concept of “airline miles,” but it is not always clear what they are and how they can be used. Modern air carriers use loyalty programs to attract more passengers on board their aircraft. Flight service, ticket prices, meals and other services are approximately the same in many companies, and to attract attention, a system for accumulating bonus points called miles has been developed.

They are awarded for certain actions and purchases. For example, when registering on the airline's website, a certain number of bonus miles will be awarded. Points are also awarded when purchasing tickets. Their quantity depends on the cost of the ticket and the distance between the points of departure and arrival. They can be accumulated and used to pay for various services provided by air carriers at any time. Most often this is buying a ticket, that is, the opportunity to fly for free.

S7 airline miles

One of the largest air carriers in Russia also has a bonus miles program called S7 Priority. You can become a member by registering on the airline’s website or calling the service center, then you will be able to enter your personal account.

When you first visit your personal account, it is recommended to link your account to your mobile phone number. If your password is lost, you can easily recover it using SMS activation.

s7 bonus miles have many advantages over competitors.

Accrual of welcome miles.

Depending on how the member was registered, a certain number of miles will be awarded. Each participant who registers on the website or through the service center will receive 500 miles after the first flight with this airline; an adult with a child will receive 1000 miles. When moving from a partner site, the number of bonus points is set by the partner site itself.

Recovering miles from previous flights.

The company generously rewards those who have been using its services for a long time, but due to some circumstances could not previously take part in the loyalty program. For all flights taken during the six months prior to registration, the person will receive bonus points. To do this, you will need to confirm all previous flights in your personal account.

Extended bonus validity period.

Miles do not expire during the year in which they were received, plus the next two years. For those registered in the program under 12 years of age, they do not expire until the applicable birthday.

Extension of accumulated miles.

Extension of the validity of miles is carried out when flying at least once a year on a regular flight of S7 or another partner company. At the end of the year, you can use the extension of the term for a fee, but there is a limit on the number - no more than 10 thousand.

Motivational accumulative system.

The S7 Priority program gives its clients the opportunity to earn even more miles, giving them one or another status over time. The more often a client uses the company’s services, the more prestigious the status and the more bonuses it gives. There are four in total:

• classical;
• silver, allows you to check in at business class counters, choose seats in the cabin and accrues an additional 25% miles on each purchase;
• gold, has the advantages of silver, an additional 50% is charged and access to the superior lounge;
• Platinum, in addition to the advantages of gold and 75% of additional charges from the purchase, allows you to receive free additional service on any flight twice a year.

These and other advantages attract more and more passengers to S7 Airlines.

Ways to earn S7 miles and how to spend them

Bonuses are awarded for the following operations:

• flights with S7 airline;
• flights with partner companies;
• use of special bank cards from Tinkoff Bank;
• use of air carrier services on board the aircraft and at the airport;
• purchases through sites and organizations included in the list of partners of the S7 loyalty program (banks, travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, etc.)

In order for bonuses to be credited to your account automatically, you must indicate its number when performing the operation.

You can quickly accumulate ten thousand miles in the following way: register on the site, this will give you the first 500-1000 bonuses. Pay for purchases with a card from a partner bank, called S7 Tinkoff. Participate in promotions and make purchases on partner sites. This will soon allow you to accumulate your first 10 thousand bonus points.

A good helper for calculating bonuses for a flight is a mileage calculator. You can find it on the company's website. The interface and calculation method are simple and convenient. For example, you need to calculate how many bonuses will be awarded on a flight from Moscow to Paris. To do this, you should indicate the points of departure and arrival in the appropriate fields, select the airline operating the flight and indicate the type of S7 Priority card. The calculations take a matter of seconds and a table will appear on the screen indicating how many miles will be credited, depending on the fare.

There are premium tariffs Optimum and Priority, which have large accruals. You can find out more about them in the service center and on the website.

The reader has probably wondered what and how to pay with S7 miles. You can spend them in several ways:

• pay for a ticket to one of the proposed countries;
• change your seat on the plane from economy to business class;
• translate to another person;
• for charitable purposes.

You can do this on the website online or by downloading the application. A complete list of countries for flying, as well as opportunities for charitable donations, is available in your personal account.

For those who do not have enough bonuses to purchase a ticket or service, the c7 company offers to buy miles . To do this, the following conditions must be met:

• participation in the S7 Priority program;
• at least one flight on S7 flights in the current or last year;
• tariff that supports the function of accruing bonuses.

You are allowed to purchase no more than 10 thousand miles per year. The transaction cannot be cancelled.

FAQ

Do you need to save miles if you fly rarely?

Savings are relevant when flying more than 4-5 times a year. Otherwise, you won’t be able to save enough and spend it on time.

Is there any benefit to this or is it a way for airlines to squeeze extra money out of passengers?

With proper travel planning and careful reading of the conditions, the program allows you to save money on purchasing tickets. Paying for tickets with bonuses is a good thing, but you shouldn’t chase unnecessary purchases that some sites push, saying: “We’ll add a bunch of extra points to your account.”

How many miles do you get for air tickets?

The quantity depends on the distance between settlements, tariff and card type. More accurate information can be calculated using the miles calculator on the company’s website, which displays the completed calculation on the screen.

This service from S7 airlines is a good way to save money on flights. Accumulating, receiving and spending bonus miles is available in several ways and everyone will find a convenient way for themselves. If a passenger rarely flies, the accumulated bonuses can be given to another person or spent on a charity program.

*These conditions are current as of May 2018.

Today's review from our reader Sergio, the material of which was being prepared for publication back in November, but was only published now for technical reasons. The text has been updated with the latest December changes to the S7 program.

I have been in the S7 Priority program since 2011, this is actually my first mileage program. Now I have gold status in it, which I actively use. I also have two co-brands out of three possible. During these four years I flew a lot, both for money and for miles.

S7 airline review

S7 Airlines(brand of Siberia Airlines) has a wide network of domestic routes. S7 Airlines also operates regular flights to the CIS countries, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region.

The S7 fleet consists of 58 aircraft, of which 20 A319 (C8 Y126), 19 A320 (C8 Y150/156), 4 A321 (they seem to be all C8 Y189, but I haven’t flown on them, I heard that there is some kind of economy aircraft only), 13 B737-800 (C12 Y154/156) and two old B767-300 (C12 Y240/C18 Y222). The boards are generally unified, without “surprises”. You can go into detail.

The route network includes two large hubs in Moscow (Domodedovo) and Novosibirsk and covers about a hundred cities in Russia, the CIS and Europe, as well as several Asian destinations, including Dubai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, Phuket, Hong Kong.

Classes of service

The S7 is doing very poorly with this. Bad economy and bad business.

As a status flyer, I certainly don’t complain, always flying for money in the third row on an A319/A320 and fourth on a B737 and in the first row when flying for miles. But without status, the layout, of course, leaves much to be desired. There are generally bad places, such as the non-folding row in front of the emergency row or the second row (this is in business!!!) in the A319

Service in business is always lame (worse than economy in normal airlines), in economy, in principle, it sucks quite tolerably. Not the worst, of course, but it still sucks.

I just want to say: “To hell with this S7, fly Aeroflot planes!”

//I wrote this with faint hope that the S7 management will pay attention, hear me! I see how AK is changing, “Priority” is now the best program available to Russians, the site has become quite functional. Train your female workers, AK is lame in terms of service. Complete indifference to passengers!//

But, oddly enough, I can’t say anything bad about both sides of the B767; there are very good seats in economy, and the seats in business, although covered with gray hair, are quite comfortable. But the service there consistently sucks, with no surprises. For example, water in the bathrooms can easily run out towards the end of the flight, and caring flight attendants will put out a pack of wet wipes. You won’t get more tea; you have to beg for water.

In business, you can easily run out of everything edible, and you will have to suffer with a brick that was mistakenly placed instead of a steak. Any request is a personal favor.

Alliance and partners

//or rather one and only partner for today//

This is where the S7 shines. AK has been a participant for five years now OneWorld– the best of the three and a half global alliances available. The status is fully supported by all participants. And the participants themselves - Cathay Pacific, British Airways, Qantas, Qatar Airways– very strong partners. Well, and a few more airlines.

Well, the only non-alliance partner is Emirates. What can I say - such a partnership is worth a lot. Although with status support in this case there is a small but very offensive embarrassment.

Changes in the S7 Priority program

The program has undergone many changes over the past year. Mostly, of course, negative. But there are also advantages. Extensive changes introduced since December 2015.

First, the possibility of registering transfer transportation using miles was cancelled. Then they partially returned, but it didn’t get any easier. The list of exceptions is ridiculously small.

Horse fees have been introduced for some destinations. Try to take Beijing-Krasnoyarsk miles, for example, you will be very surprised.

A new zone “Near Abroad Countries” has been introduced.

A set-up with the introduction of the new zone “Russia 4”.

Now you need to fly for money at least once every two years in order to be able to spend miles.

The accruals for co-brands were greatly reduced.

Promo tickets can no longer be upgraded using miles.

It is no longer possible to convert Svyaznoy Club benefits into miles.

On the plus side, a 300% charge for business has been introduced. Combined with the business pass, it wasn’t too bad. Then they cut it to 150% or 250%.

There is a discount on award tickets for children.

Children can now also earn miles on their flights.

You can get an award on Emirates (but the fees are killer).

It has become possible to issue one-way tickets to a number of partners – a very strong step.

We stopped at Domodedovo in the upper hall, which used to be Transaerovo. This was my favorite lounge. It's a shame that C7 ruined it. Food appeared, but space completely disappeared. It became some kind of “deluxe waiting room.”

Various promotions are carried out, for example, “how many years, so much discount” - participants with experience were very well rewarded with additional miles for flying on their own flights.

Or remember when they used iPhones to catch planes? And now they give out 1000 miles on Facebook (I heard that with promotion it was possible to do much more).

Or the promotion has just ended - a 10% discount on the tariff for S7 Priority members.

Well, the main changes introduced on December 1, 2015. That rare case when the changes are positive and not negative. A new fare schedule has been introduced, now most economy tickets are charged 100% of the distance, at least 500 miles, with the exception of baggage-free fares, which charge 50%. Well, these baggage-free tariffs were introduced. So far the price has become cheaper. Although, of course, a low price is only potential for further growth.

Registration in the program

After online registration on the site you will receive 500 miles to your bonus account. The most interesting thing is that if you register after the flight, then within 6 months you can restore previously completed flights. But flights with partners cannot be restored retroactively ( I flew on an S7 to Moscow using Avangard miles - credited when registering for S7 Priority in December - approx. Shtirlitz).

After your first flight, you will receive a basic level card in the mail. Taking into account that some company shares are tied to length of service in the program, I recommend everyone to register right now - there will be no harm.

Benefits of statuses

The program has four levels of participation - basic, silver, gold and platinum. Starting from the silver level, you can get additional luggage, access to lounges, the choice of any seat in the cabin for yourself and fellow travelers, and you can buy tickets for double payment with miles, even if there are no seats for miles. Well, I won’t dwell on this, the status people already know everything.

Earn Miles & Banks

Earning miles on flights is simple. You fly and you get it. On C7 and on alliance partners. In some places and with other partners you can get miles - on flights to Minsk, for example on BelAvia.

Accumulation with partners - you can get 500 miles for renting a car, and you can also get miles for booking hotels on ostrovok.ru. I pay for renting a car to another place, so I can’t comment on anything. But it’s probably convenient for “monogamous people.” As for Ostrovok - there is a transfer through their internal currency, I think if anyone uses it, it is better to change their “dreams” for the night, and not for C7 miles.

There are also several chains and hotels that I am not familiar with, so I cannot comment.

Another very strong partner is Tripadvisor. Leave reviews on the site and earn miles. The conditions are very good. You can earn money on flight reviews alone. Credit up to 1,500 miles per month. There are a lot of restrictions.

There is also the opportunity to open a deposit in Alpha and receive miles instead of money. But this is for those who are really bad at math. The conditions are not favorable, I don’t think anyone takes advantage of this at all.

And the most important thing is accumulation by co-brands.

Today there are three co-brands - Alfa Bank, Bank of Moscow and Unicredit Bank.

Let's look at each in detail.

Alfa Bank

They issue credit and debit cards. Debit only within service packages.

There is an interesting way to get an expensive credit card by issuing it as an addition to a cheap credit card. But not everyone succeeds. Perhaps no one will succeed now, but this trick worked before.

Charges: standard mile for 60 rubles, gold for 48 rubles, platinum 40 rubles, black 34 rubles (credit, debit 40 rubles). They don’t pay for all the most interesting things, so any 4900, 4814, 4812 – no miles.

Also, for debits, regardless of the card category, when linking the card to accounts in euros and dollars, one mile is credited for spending 1 euro or 1 dollar. But no problems with conversion.

I myself have been using debit gold alpha for many years, and in principle I’m happy with everything. Everything is logical and understandable, the most convenient online banking, it’s very convenient to link one card to different accounts - it’s strange that all banks don’t do this, it’s very convenient to connect SMS information on different cards to different phone numbers.

In your S7 personal account, miles are reflected on the first days of the month, as a total amount for spending in rubles, a separate total amount for spending in dollars, and a separate total amount for spending in euros. Despite the worst conditions among co-brands, I continue to use cards from alpha (I have two of them, one in my name, the second in my wife’s name, with her S7 number), since in terms of service neither the Bank of Moscow nor Unicredit with Alphas don't stand next to each other.

UniCredit Bank

They issue credit cards. It is possible to issue a credit card with a zero limit. Accruals: standard - mile for 60 rubles, gold for 48 rubles, platinum for 40 rubles (or 48, but with rather stupid “additional benefits”).

Internet banking is very inconvenient. Perhaps even the worst of all. In terms of the number of ATMs/branches, everything is terrible. Especially when it comes to ATMs with a cash deposit function.

I cannot discuss the topic of charges in sufficient detail, since I do not actively or willingly use the card. But all the most delicious things pass by.

I have a standard credit card with a microscopic limit. It was released free of charge as part of a promotion (I don’t even remember whether there was a promotion on Facebook or VKontakte). Considering the terrible service and such a small accrual, I don’t think anyone will be interested in this card.

Sometimes there are interesting promotions for additional miles accrual. It is for these shares that I hold the card. Miles in your personal account are reflected at the beginning of the month, in a separate amount for each transaction. Another significant disadvantage is that there is a fee for withdrawing your own funds from a credit card.

Bank of Moscow

In terms of accruals, the bank is the best. Issues debit and credit cards.

For classics, a mile costs 40 rubles, gold costs 32 rubles, platinum – ~22.85 rubles. per mile (1 , 75 miles for every 40 rubles spent on the card).

I don’t use a card from BM; according to the owners’ reviews, you shouldn’t expect anything good in terms of accruals; all the goodies pass by. Well, since I was a client of the bank before, I can say for sure that the bank is absolutely not focused on the client, the service is terrible.

Promotions are being held to issue cards for free. But I was not attracted even by these shares. The only interesting option is a card for 20 thousand per year, with which you can upgrade two tickets to a business, and the tickets can be on a rather complex route, with several stopovers. But there are a lot of restrictions on such an upgrade.

Buying miles

On the S7 website you can buy the missing miles, up to 15,000 miles per year, at a price of 1 mile for 1 ruble, in blocks of 500 miles. To be able to buy miles, there is a condition for paying for a flight in the current or previous year.

You can also give your miles to other members, up to 15,000 miles per year, for a fee of 0.5 rubles/mile.

Spending miles

For your own flights, an award ticket can be issued on the website; both the amount of fees and the availability of seats are immediately visible. It seems like these are the most ordinary things - but just a year ago one could only dream about this. For your own flights, you can buy a round-trip or one-way ticket for half the price (which is very nice; Aeroflot also has a surcharge for vanwei).

Here is the bonus table:

Russia 1: Astrakhan, Volgograd, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Kaliningrad, Krasnodar, Moscow, Nizhnevartovsk, Nizhnekamsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Perm, Rostov, Samara, St. Petersburg, Stavropol, Surgut, Tyumen, Ufa, Chelyabinsk.

Russia 2: Abakan, Barnaul, Bratsk, Gorno-Altaisk, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk, Nadym, Novokuznetsk, Novosibirsk, Novy Urengoy, Omsk, Salekhard, Tomsk, Ulan-Ude, Chita.

Russia 3: Blagoveshchensk, Vladivostok, Magadan, Mirny, Norilsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Yakutsk.

Russia 4: Adler, Anapa, Vladikavkaz, Mineralnye Vody, Simferopol.

CIS countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine.

Europe: Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Croatia, Montenegro, Czech Republic.

Near East: UAE.

Far East: China (excl. Hong Kong), South Korea (Seoul), Japan.

Southeast Asia: Hong Kong (excl. China), Thailand.

The price is for a round-trip ticket, one segment in each direction. If the ticket has stops, then the cost is taken as for two separate tickets (with a number of minor exceptions). For example, GOJ-DME will cost 7,500 miles, and within the same zone, but with a stop in Moscow, GOJ-DME-AED will cost 15,000 miles. But, according to the additional table, from the same Nizhny Novgorod, through Moscow, but to a more expensive zone, to Tivat, a ticket will cost 12,500 miles.

The most interesting expense for own flights now (in my opinion) is business from Moscow to Spain (if you find seats available). Cost 20,000 miles one way.

Another option to spend miles profitably is business OVB-DXB, 22,500 one way.

For triple the amount, you can buy a ticket for miles, even if there are no seats in the corresponding classes. And for status participants - for only double the price.

Also for tickets for children from 2 to 12 years old there is a 30% discount on the mileage rate.

It is also possible to upgrade using business miles. But there are a lot of restrictions, so it’s unlikely that such a waste of miles is now reasonable. A ticket at Promo fares cannot be upgraded, the cost of an upgrade for the Economy fare group is almost equal to the cost of a full ticket for miles, and the cost of tickets for the Standard group is almost equal to the cost of tickets in Business.

Although situations, of course, are different, and sometimes an upgrade for miles won’t be the worst waste either. An upgrade is made upon written request through the website, the upgraded ticket must be a verse directly in S7, miles for a paid ticket are credited upon request. If you want to fly exclusively for business, then a mile upgrade is the best option for making the necessary paid flight.

It is possible to reschedule the departure date for a fee (subject to availability of seats in the appropriate fare). No returns allowed, no changes to destinations allowed.

Spending miles on partners

Here is the bonus table.

Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kazan.

Europe: Austria, Albania, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Great Britain, Hungary, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Georgia, Denmark, Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Libya, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Morocco, Moldova, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Svalbard and Jan Maen, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Montenegro, Sweden, Switzerland.

Near East: Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Syria, Lebanon, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iran, Oman, Iraq, Sudan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Yemen.

Far East: China (excl. Hong Kong), Japan, Korea.

Southeast Asia: Hong Kong, Sanya (China), Taiwan Island, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Guam, Palau, Brunei, Christmas Island, Cambodia, Philippines, Laos.

Australia and Oceania: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji (Nadi), New Caledonia (Noumea), Vanuatu (Port Vila), Papua New Guinea, Norfolk Islands, Nauru, French Polynesia, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Samoa, Marshall Islands, Cook Islands, Northern Mariana Islands .

Africa: South Africa, Tanzania, Angola, Zambia, Mozambique, Kenya, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Uganda, Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal, Guinea, Chad, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Togo, Mauritius, Benin, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Cote d'Etat Ivoire, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Comorres, Cape Verde, Djibouti, Gabon, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Liberia, Malawi, Niger, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Reunion, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles.

North America: USA, Canada, Greenland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

Central America: Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Grenada, Montserrat, Martinique, Turks and Caicos Islands, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Virgin Islands (UK), Virgin Islands (USA), Santa Lucia, St. Kitt and Nevis, Cocos Islands, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, Antilles (Netherlands), Anguilla, Hawaii .

South America: Suriname, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Falkland Islands, Paraguay

India: India, Maldives, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan.

There are a lot of restrictions - no more than two segments in each direction, stopovers cannot be made, OJ is prohibited, returns are prohibited, the only changes allowed are changing the date. A ticket can be issued only for one of the partners; one-way tickets can only be issued for Japan Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways and Qantas, for all others only RT. There is no discount for children.

The fees can be quite humane, for example on American Airlines and Cathay Pacific (both do not fly to Russia), or simply extortionate, for example on Emirates. But, flying Emirates business to the Maldives (DME-DXB-MLE-DXB-DME will cost 75,000 miles in business), it’s not a sin to pay about 50K rubles in fees. Although on this route it is better to choose Qatar Airways, which is not inferior to Dubai, the fees will be “only” 24,000 rubles.

From economy, the most profitable routes are distant Europe - the Canary Islands, Iceland. From business - as I already indicated - the Maldives. Residents of the Asian part of Russia may be interested in the PEK-HKG-CEB-HKG-PEK route (Cathay Pacific, economy 30,000 miles + 2,000 rubles fees, business 45,000 miles + 2,000 rubles fees).

Comparison with other loyalty programs

Here I will write very briefly. In Russia, I see only two competitors for the S7 Priority program - Aeroflot Bonus and Miles&More. I have to accumulate miles in all these programs, since each has its own purpose. You cannot buy first class with S7 miles. S7's route network is much smaller than Aeroflot's. S7 has much fewer partners for accumulating miles than Miles&More. Therefore, a lot is moving away from the S7 to its competitors.

Well, I’ll repeat my thought, which I have already mentioned many times in the comments - accumulating miles - flying in business. The only way. Otherwise, why is all this needed? And for economy flights there are other tools - “pseudomiles of ticket offices” - the best for today - World Map from VTB24, iGlobe from Gazprom and the Travel option from MTS Bank.

The S7 Priority program is designed to create all the conditions for a comfortable flight and waiting for your flight. But before starting to enjoy all its benefits, people have a lot of questions about accumulating miles, their validity period, restoration and registration of a status card.

The answers received will allow you to fully understand the situation and determine the most suitable program status for yourself. It is precisely because of the lack of information that clients most often have problems and controversial issues.

How to find out your s7 Priority member number?

To find out your S7 Priority program participant number, you don’t need to call or contact anyone specifically. It is printed on the client's partner, temporary or personal card.

What is the validity period of s7 miles?

According to the established rules of the developers of the S7 Priority program, no matter how many miles the client has accumulated, they are stored for 1 year after using the service or flight, as well as the next 2 years, under certain conditions.

In order for miles to be automatically extended for another 12 months, the following is required:

• fly at least once a year so that your miles do not expire or. To do this, you need to use the services of S7 Airlines or any other airline that is part of the oneworld alliance. It is worth considering that the tariff must participate in the bonus program;
• accumulate 5,000 bonuses in a year, excluding welcome miles, and pay for services and goods with a joint card from any Russian bank S

To extend the validity period of the bonuses received, you will have to contact the hotline and, for about 250 rubles for every 500 miles.

Status participants of the s7 Priority program - what is it?

All members of the s7 Priority program have the opportunity to upgrade their status and take advantage of many benefits by making regular flights with S7 Airlines. There are 4 statuses in total, namely:

1. Silver. The client will receive +25% to the accumulated miles, will be able to check-in at the business counter and will choose a convenient seat on the plane for free.
2. Gold. +50% miles on flights, free seat selection and access to premium lounges.
3. Classical. The ability to exchange S7 status miles for awards and a gradual transition to a more elite status.
4. Platinum. Here the client will be credited with +75% of the miles earned, and will be provided with a free choice of seat on the plane and a class upgrade. The person will also have the opportunity to visit the first class lounge.

Are there S7 Priority promotional codes?

The S7 Priority program provides for the use of promotional codes. To take advantage of this opportunity, the customer must enter a promotional code in the application on their phone or PC when booking a ticket. Further, the discount will be calculated automatically, according to the tariff, or will remain fixed. It is also worth considering that it will not be combined with discounts for children and other things.

The promotional code itself consists of several characters. They are published by the organizers by any available means so that this information reaches S7 Priority program participants as quickly as possible. If the special offer is used in a timely manner, the buyer of the ticket is guaranteed to receive a discount.

Coupons with a discount code can be received by customers in the following ways:

How to add passport and visa details in your personal account?

For the convenience of clients, the personal account also provides the ability to add passport and visa data. Let's take a step-by-step look at what needs to be done to add data.

Conclusion

In order to take full advantage of all the benefits of the Priority program, it is recommended that you first familiarize yourself with all the intricacies and consider individual situations that may arise during the cooperation process. This will help avoid unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings with the calculation of bonuses.

Regular customers Russian airline S7 Airlines can travel even more by becoming members. Having accumulated enough bonus miles on the card, they can be exchanged for tickets, airline and partner services (car rental, hotel reservations, purchases). In this way, the company expresses its gratitude to passengers for their continued preference for it.

Is it possible to buy a plane ticket using status miles on the official S7 website?

One of the frequently asked questions is, can I use miles when purchasing an award flight in economy or business class? The answer is yes!

However, in addition to the required number, at least one flight with S7 must be made in the current or past year.

Ticket purchase cost depends on the chosen tariff– “Optimum”, “Priority” and “Promo”.

1. “Optimum” involves a smaller number of miles to be exchanged for booking an award flight, but the number of such seats is limited.
2. “Priority” does not have such restrictions, but its bonus value is three times higher than the “Optimum” tariff.
3. "Promo" is valid for flights in economy class. Its cost is the lowest, but does not imply a refund of the ticket, regardless of the reason.

In addition to tariffs, premium zones are also taken into account.

Next on the site you can pre-calculate the amount that will be credited using the service “ Miles calculator" You will find it in the “S7 Priority” tab in the “Accumulate miles” section. Suitable for calculations of S7 flights and partner airlines.

Is it possible to buy miles for money on the official S7 Airlines website?

Are you going to travel again soon, but don’t have enough bonuses for an award ticket? Don't be upset: there is a way to buy C7 (S7) miles. They can only be purchased by passengers registered in the loyalty program who have made at least one flight with S7 Airlines this year or last year at a fare that is eligible for miles accrual. You can buy no more than 10,000 miles per year. The minimum quantity for purchase is 500. The service is non-refundable, meaning the transaction cannot be cancelled. The fee for this is also non-refundable.

In addition to the official website, there are specialized forums and exchanges where you can buy or sell unnecessary miles at a reasonable price. In such locations, the unit cost may be identical to the official air carrier rate. Sometimes miles are cheaper.

In any case, the transfer of miles is carried out only on the S7 website.

The rules stipulate that you can transfer miles to anyone. This means that this method of parting with accumulated bonuses is also suitable.

Miles recovery

If you forgot to present your loyalty card or account number, and for this reason the flight remained unaccounted for, then you can restore miles on the S7 Airlines website. To do this, you need to go to your personal account, fill out the form provided and send a request. It is important that the personal information on the ticket matches that indicated in the participant’s profile.

The passenger has 6 months to restore miles if the flight was made on an S7 Airlines flight. One year – if you used the services of a partner airline.

Transferring S7 miles to another person

Registered users have the opportunity to transfer miles to another person. You can transfer no more than 10,000 miles from account to account during the year.

The cost of the service for transferring the minimum number of miles (this is 500 miles) is 375 rubles.

To do this, you must have the required number of them on your account and make at least one flight at that moment as a registered participant on an S7 flight at a fare that takes part in the bonus program. The service is non-refundable - it cannot be cancelled. The fee for this is not refundable.

How to donate bonus miles to charity?

You can donate miles to charity in the following ways:

• Online form option. In the “S7 Priority” tab, select the “Charity” section. Next, indicate the charitable foundation, the number of miles and click the “Make transfer” button.
• Call the program Service Center at 8 800 700-90-10.

Miles validity period

The accumulated miles are valid until the end of the year in which the flight was taken and the next two.

If they are not used or renewed, they burn out.

If you become an active member, the validity period is extended for another year.

How to become an active participant?

• Take at least one flight on S7 or Oneworld alliance partners at a fare that earns miles during the calendar year.
• Accumulate at least 5,000 miles (welcome miles do not count).

Miles of participants aged 2 to 12 years are stored according to different rules - they do not expire and remain on the account when the participant stops using children's mile card and begins to be serviced on a general basis.

How to check your miles?

Each S7 Priority member can find out how many miles are in his bonus account. Perhaps they have accumulated enough to use them. The remaining miles on the S7 Priority card can be seen in your personal account profile. Below the block with personal information is the “My Miles” block, which indicates the card number, its type, and the mile balance.

How long does it take for miles to be credited?

Accrual occurs automatically after flying on S flights 7, if the passenger presented a card or provided an account number during checkout. Some airports are not equipped with an automated passenger departure system. In this case, bonus miles will be credited within 45 days. A prerequisite is that the flight must be made at a fare that is included in the accrual of bonus miles, and the passport data in the ticket must completely match the data specified in the S7 Priority program.
