    Velocity changing earn on South African Airways

    MarkBy MarkSeptember 21, 2018No Comments2 Mins Read

    Velocity has announced that it will be changing its earning structure on South African Airways flights. The changes come into effect on January 1, 2019, and will align earning with the fare brands used by South African Airways.

    At present, earn rates are based on Business, Economy or Discount Economy. Under the new earnings structure, this will split into 7 different categories. The following table shows the new earn categories, compared to the current earn rates.

    FARE TYPE
    SOUTH AFRICAN
    AIRWAYS (SA)
    FARE CLASS
    POINTS EARN RATE
    PER MILE FROM Jan 1
    POINTS EARN RATE
    PER MILE FROM Until Dec 31
    PREMIUM J, C 1.5 Velocity Points 1.25 Velocity Points
    PRIORITY Z, D 1.25 Velocity Points 1.25 Velocity Points
    PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL Z 1.25 Velocity Points 1.25 Velocity Points
    PRIORITY DOMESTIC D 1 Velocity Point 1.25 Velocity Points
    SELECT Y, B, M, K 1 Velocity Point 1 Velocity Point
    PLUS H, S, Q 0.5 Velocity Points 1 Velocity Point
    PLUS T, V 0.5 Velocity Points 0.5 Velocity Points
    SAVER L, W, G 0.25 Velocity Points 0.5 Velocity Points

    In some cases, the earnings rate has gone up, while in others it has either remained the same or fallen. In an overall sense, this follows the pattern of earn rates being more closely aligned with the fares paid. This has been a bit of a feature of most programs over the last few years.

    For further information on earn rates on South African Airways, refer to the earnings page on the Velocity website.
