Become a program participant

You can by registering on the website. Or by calling 8-800-100-77-11 (calls within Russia are free). Or by registering with a program partner. Persons under 12 years of age are not allowed to participate.

If you register on the site, a surprise from S7 awaits you - 500 miles per card. After registration (by any method), a personal number and PIN code are sent to the participant’s email. When purchasing an air ticket, you will need to provide your number. A month after the flight, a Welcome Package from S7 will be sent to your home address. It includes a plastic participant card and information materials.

You can earn miles for flights on regular S7 flights made three months before registering 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.

Bonus miles- those that can be spent on purchasing air tickets, goods of program partners or paying for their services, upgrading the class of service. Bonus miles are awarded for self-registration on the website, using the services of partners, air travel, etc.

Status miles - increase the status of a program participant. They are awarded only for flights on regular S7 flights and flights of member airlines of the Oneworld alliance. Using the services of some program partners entitles you to receive status miles, but you need to find out more about this.

Participant statuses

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

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

Status miles do not expire. They are valid until the end of the calendar year following the year in which the flight took place. If after this time you have not moved to a new level of service, status miles are accrued again. The same system applies to the validity period of the participant 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 participant within a month after the status is assigned. It will also indicate the status of the bonus program of the Oneworld aviation alliance (Silver is equivalent to Ruby, Gold is equivalent to Sapphire, Platinum is equivalent to Emerald).

How to earn miles

Air travel. Miles are awarded for paid and completed flights on regular flights of S7 or program partner airlines. The greater the distance you travel, the higher the fare and class of service, the more miles will be credited to your account. Miles are awarded as a percentage of the distance from the departure airport to the arrival airport. The unit of account is the mile, which is equal to 1609 km.

Banking services. S7, together with Alfa Bank and UniCredit Bank, issued bank cards. You can use them to pay for purchases and receive bonus miles for it. UniCredit Bank gives its clients 1 mile for every 30 rubles spent from the card, Alfa-Bank from 1 to 1.5. When you sign up for a card, you will be awarded welcome miles. You can order a card at a bank branch, by calling the Service Center or by registering on the website. Banks often organize promotions and give away miles. For example, Alfa Bank now has a “Friendly Miles” program - bring a friend and get up to 4,000 miles in your account.

Partners. By using services or purchasing goods from program partners, you also replenish your mileage account. The 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.

How to spend miles

Purchasing air tickets. An award ticket is awarded to those who have a sufficient number of miles on their account and have recorded at least 1 paid flight on an S7 flight.

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

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

And yet you still need to pay extra when receiving an award ticket! Its price does not include airport taxes and fuel surcharges.

Airline flights one world brings status miles and allows you to qualify for

Previously, S7’s partners were six banks. However, Unicredit Bank and Bank of Moscow stopped issuing airline cards. As a result, only three co-branded offers remained from Alfa Bank, Promsvyazbank and Tinkoff Bank. With a Raiffeisenbank card you can exchange bonus points for miles. You can accumulate miles on a Rosevrobank card by activating this option, for which you need to pay 61 rubles. per month.

To determine the most profitable card, a flight from Moscow to Sochi and back was taken. If you fly away on May 1, 2017, and return on May 9, then you need to pay 11,970 rubles for tickets. Members of the S7 Priority bonus program can buy a ticket for at least 16,000 miles (Promo tariff, without the ability to change dates). You will also have to pay taxes and fees - 3800 rubles.

The fastest way to earn 16,000 miles is with a Tinkoff Bank debit card. To do this, you will need to make purchases worth at least 640 thousand rubles. The downside of the card is the cost of its service – 2280 rubles. in year.

In second place is the Promsvyazbank card. To accumulate the required number of miles you will have to spend 768 thousand rubles. In third place is Alfa Bank with 930 thousand rubles.

The least profitable of all S7 partners was the Raiffeisenbank card, where the amount of expenses should be 1.29 million rubles. The problem is that to get 16,000 miles you need to exchange 18,000 bank points for 20,000 S7 miles. In this case, after the flight, 4,000 miles will remain free, which you can continue to save for future tickets. If you want to buy exactly 16,000 S7 miles, you will need to collect 32,500 Raiffeisenbank points.

How to earn miles faster?

1. Choose a premium card. For example, at Alfa Bank, the Green card earns 1 mile for every 60 rubles spent, and the PlatinumBlack card earns 1.5 miles. The disadvantage of premium cards is the high cost of service. Platinum Black will cost 1850 rubles. in a year.
2. Make any purchases using a co-branded card. The more you spend, the faster you accumulate the required number of miles. Try to pay for others using your card. For example, we went to a restaurant with a large group. Invite your friends to pay the bill with your card, and for them to transfer money to the card or give it in cash.
3. Spend more in special categories. For example, on the Tinkoff Bank BlackEdition card for every 60 rubles. you can get 4 miles when purchasing tickets on the S7 website and up to 18 miles when purchasing from bank partners.

How did you think?

The search for the most profitable card took place among S7 partners, who are listed on the official airline. From each bank, debit cards with the lowest cost of service were selected. The cost of service was indicated on the condition of storage and spending 30 thousand rubles. during the billing period. If there is an increased account balance or other expenses, the service cost may not be charged. The calculation of the minimum amount of spending to accumulate 16,000 miles to purchase a ticket took into account the maximum accrual of miles for everyday spending. Expenses in special categories for which increased mileage accrual for purchases were not taken into account due to the impossibility of predicting them. Banks award miles when rounding down the amount of purchases. For example, after spending 30 rubles on a card. The bank will not credit miles, but after spending 530 rubles, the bank will credit 8 miles (if each one costs 60 rubles).
