SAA, together with Nedbank, has launched an SAA Voyager cheque card that allows users to earn air miles.
Executive: card issuing and payments at Nedbank, Chris Wood, said the SAA Voyager cheque card was Nedbank’s response to growing demands from South Africans for a transactional card that allowed them to earn SAA Voyager miles, thereby realising their travel aspirations without having to qualify for, or use a credit card.
SAA Voyager gold or premium cheque card holders are allowed one companion ticket per year to a local or global destination depending on their card status and spend threshold.
SAA executive for customer loyalty, Suretha Cruse, said even if cardholders were not frequent travellers, the fastest way to earn miles was by using any of SAA Voyager’s credit or cheque cards from Nedbank. Most members use their miles for flights but Voyager miles can also be exchanged for a variety of travel rewards, including stays at selected accommodation partners, car hire, cruises, duty-free shopping, online gifting, and health spa experiences.
Opportunities to earn bonus miles are also available. “These bonuses include 2 500 miles on signing up to the programme, double miles on eligible spend for the first month after the account has been opened, bonus miles when reaching spend thresholds, and additional miles when paying for an SAA flight with your SAA Voyager card,” says Suretha.
Nedbank has also simplified the card application process. Customers can now apply for the SAA Voyager card online or at any Nedbank branch. The cheque card can also be added to selected Nedbank transactional accounts and is available to existing and new clients.
