Earning and spending of Miles
Our programme offers our more than 1 million members earning and spending of Miles (the programme's reward currency) from 30 partners. The programme boasts more than 30 airline partnerships, including the Star Alliance global network which gives members access to destinations in excess of 1 356 airports in 193 countries. Our programme has furthermore been expanded from being a traditional frequent flyer programme, by diversifying our offering to include more than 15 non-airline partners in categories ranging from travel-related to lifestyle, retail and financial services; delivering on our promise to become forever part of our members' journeys.
Always ensure that you quote your unique SAA Voyager membership number at time of booking or point of sale, in order for your Miles to track systematically. Your membership card should be in your possession at all times to have access to all the benefits associated with your status.
