SAA and Nedbank have announced that Voyager members can now convert SAA Voyager Miles into AvoPoints and use them to shop online at the Avo SuperShop.
Says Privesan Naidoo, Nedbank Executive in Trading Products: “Avo is a great value proposition for SAA Voyager clients because it gives them a variety of ways in which to spend their Voyager Miles. Members can also earn AvoPoints on every purchase and even accelerate their Voyager Miles earn rate if they are an SAA Voyager Cheque or Credit Cardholder.”
Avo SuperShop represents over 22 000 businesses that sell their products and services on a single shopping platform. Shopping categories include tech and appliances, groceries, prepaid airtime, data and electricity, vouchers, back-up power and solar solutions, gaming, automotive, fashion and beauty, homeware, takeaways and more. Avo has grown exponentially, with a sevenfold increase year-on-year reported in gross merchandise value in May this year.
“One great new benefit that will launch in September is the ability to convert AvoPoints to Voyager Miles to buy air tickets, opening up a whole range of travel options,” added Naidoo.
“SAA Voyager remains one of the most sought-after loyalty programmes as it provides access to amazing travel experiences and access to the desirable Companion Ticket for Voyager Credit and Cheque cardholders. Now, the ability to use Voyager Miles on Avo has further increased the value it offers to members,” says Tebogo Tsimane, Interim Chief Commercial Officer at SAA Commercial. “SAA Voyager and Avo SuperShop from Nedbank are a perfect match, and the fact that Avo customers will soon be able to convert AvoPoints to Voyager Miles will further strengthen the partnership between SAA and Nedbank.”
To convert Voyager Miles to AvoPoints, SAA Voyager clients can sign up free of charge on AvoSuperShop, tap on 'Exchange points' on the home screen, enter their SAA Voyager credentials and specify the number of Miles they want to convert to AvoPoints.
