Weekend Argus (Saturday Edition)
EARN MILES PER TRANSACTION
SA AIRWAYS and Nedbank this week launched a cheque card that guarantees users air miles per transactional swipe. Traditionally, airline reward programmes have offered co-branded credit cards allowing users to earn air miles based on their credit spend. The SAA Voyager Cheque Card is Nedbank and SAA’s response to the growing demand from South Africans for a transactional card that allows them to earn SAA Voyager Miles – and realise their travel aspirations – without having to qualify for or use a credit card. It supplements the traditional existing SAA Voyager Credit Card programme. SAA’s chief executive, Vuyani Jarana, says: “While most of our programme members prefer using their miles for flights, Voyager Miles can be exchanged for a variety of travel rewards, including stays at selected accommodation partners, car hire, cruises and duty-free shopping.”
