SAA and Nedbank launched the SAA Voyager Cheque Card this week, which guarantees the earning of air miles per transactional swipe.
The new card offers existing holders of the SAA Voyager Credit Card a way to earn more miles, and the related benefits, without needing to increase their credit spend, or acquire additional credit cards.
Mike Brown, ceo of Nedbank, said the Voyager Cheque Card was the response, from both the bank and the national carrier, to the growing consumer demand for a transactional card that allowed users to earn SAA Voyager Miles without the requirement to qualify for credit.
“While the SAA Voyager Credit Card has been widely embraced as an appealing and easy way to quickly accumulate SAA Voyager miles, we recognised the importance of broadening access to this lifestyle-enhancing opportunity,” Brown added. “The new SAA Voyager Cheque Card will afford more people access to the globally recognised SAA Voyager frequent flyer programme, and the many benefits and rewards it offers.”
Enhancements to the existing SAA Voyager Credit Card were also announced. These include: the opportunity for card holders to earn 15 000 bonus miles per calendar year if they spend R300 000 or more; and an additional Global Companion Ticket for SAA Voyager Premium Credit Card holders for meeting the required thresholds; 20% discount on superior travel top-up insurance for SAA flights; always-on SAA flight discounts of up to 13%; and up to 40% in promotional discounts for cardholders on SAA-operated flights.
