JOHANNESBURG, 1 August 2016. South African Airways’ (SAA) leading loyalty programme Voyager delivered on the “lucky number seven” and the final countdown to the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games by opening its 7th #journeyblitz redemption seat sale today with an exclusive and high-valued lucky draw.
“One of our loyal customers will stand a chance to win an all-inclusive package for two to the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games when they book a #journeyblitz redemption seat during the sale period,” says the executive for SAA customer loyalty, Suretha Cruse. “Discounts of up to 85% on a wide variety of flights across the SAA’s operating network will be available. The #journeyblitz redemption seat sale has become a much sought after value proposition for our members and it gives us great pleasure to continue providing exclusive and attractive offerings to reward our members’ loyalty,” she added.
The grand prize of the lucky draw provided by SAA Voyager, in partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC), includes; two return Business Class tickets from OR Tambo International Airport to Rio de Janeiro, nine nights’ accommodation at the 4-Star Promenade Visconti Hotel in Rio de Janeiro with breakfast included, two tickets daily for events, and two tickets for the closing ceremony live at the Maracanã Stadium. The lucky draw prize is fully sponsored by SASCOC.
Voyager 7th #journeyblitz redemption seat sale and lucky draw will be available immediately and ends at midnight, South African time, on 5 August 2016. The winner of the lucky draw will be announced on 8 August 2016.
The #journeyblitz redemption seat sale was introduced as part of the strategic changeover from a distance travelled to revenue-spend earning structured programme for SAA-operated flights. Voyager reported earlier this year that during its first year of their strategic changeover, 15,000 Miles were issued every minute and 10,000 Miles were being redeemed simultaneously. The programme remains one of the most well recognised and only revenue-based airline loyalty programmes on the African continent.
