Those who read TFC often know my views on loyalty programs: Flying Blue is for me, the best frequent flyer in the world And it's not just me saying that. In the last five years it has made incredible changes in an environment where its competitors, European and otherwise, have instead taken the reverse path devaluation after devaluation.
In this article:
By this I do not mean that FB has not changed the rules, but all strategies have been weighed Without ever being too penalizing.
The Flying Blue contest and TFC
Last year we did a similar contest and one reader had been awarded Gold status of the Air France KLM loyalty program, things are even more interesting this year.
With this contest, three readers will have a chance to get respectively. One Platinum card, one Gold card and one Silver card.
If you don't have a status Star Alliance to participate in the current proposed status match, you can then try to get the card through this contest.
How to enter the contest
Starting today, until September 15, all users, readers, viewers of TFC can participate in the contest the only requirement to participate is to be enrolled in the Flying Blue loyalty program, if you are not yet it is easy and free and all new members have, until June, also the chance to get 10 thousand miles free with the first business class ticket purchased.
The methods of participation are very simple:
- The Platinum Card Will be awarded, to an FB member, among all Diamond subscribers to the canal YT of The Flight Club
- The Gold card will be awarded, to one FB member, from among all the Gold subscribers to the YT channel of The Flight and all users who will have shopped on the TFC store in the same period
- The Silver card will be awarded, to a FB member; among all users Who will turn out to be subscribed to our newsletter
Membership in Flying Blue is free and can be done at any time from here.
What are the benefits of the different levels
I am not writing for the umpteenth time about the benefits of individual statuses, What I want to point out is that the cards do not last for 12 months, but thanks to the soft landing provided by the Flying Blu loyalty programand the Platinum membership will guarantee 3 years of benefits and as many as 24 months of Skyteam Elite + status, this is because each year you only go down one step.
Also, having one of the three tiles reduces, by a lot, the requirements for level renewal, or advancement to the next level.
This means. free lounge admission with companion, selection of places free of charge, extra baggage and also the possibility of booking La Premiere with points. The First Class seat is in fact accessible, in award mode, only to those with Platinum status, so a reader will be able to win a chance to redeem one of the world's most exclusive award tickets.
In conclusion
Winners, as with all our contests, can decide whether to keep the status for themselves or award it to a friend/relative. The drawing of the winners will be live streamed, as always on our YT channel during the regular monthly live shows in September.
