Miles are credited automatically in two cases:

• the passenger indicated the program participant number when purchasing the ticket;
• the name, surname and date of birth on the ticket are written in the same way as in your personal account on the S7 website.

For flights on S7 Airlines, passengers receive miles as a percentage of the flight distance, depending on the fare. The minimum number of bonuses is 500 for 1 flight.

S7 partner airlines include: American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, etc. For example, when flying on Finnair, miles are awarded as a percentage of the distance between the departure and arrival airports. For economy class Discount Economy it is 25%, Full Fare Economy - 100%, for business class - 125%.

You can earn miles by making purchases from S7 airline partners. These include charities, hotels, car rental companies, cruise lines, retail chains, restaurants, exhibitions, galleries, concerts, and insurance companies.

• AliExpress – from 3 to 6 miles for every 100 rubles;
• Adidas – 10 miles for every 100 rubles. and etc.

For example, to fly from Moscow to Europe in economy class, you will need 25 thousand miles, for business – 40 thousand miles. This is the cost for a round trip flight. Exchange miles for a ticket to any European country: Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Iran, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Norway, Turkey, France, Croatia, Montenegro, Sweden, Czech Republic.

In addition, free flights are available to neighboring countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, as well as the UAE, China, Japan and South Korea, etc.

We looked through bank cards for you that allow you to earn miles in the S7 Priority loyalty program, and chose the most interesting and profitable ones!

Why save up S7 Priority?

There are many reasons, but here is a good analysis of where you can use S7 Priority miles. And since it’s already clear where to spend S7 Priority miles, how to earn them? Yes, there are flights, online purchases, hotels and a bunch of other ways, for example, going to restaurants, but now we are talking about bank cards with which you can earn S7 Priority miles. And we’re not just talking about the Tinkoff Bank card, as you might think!

Intesa

The Italian subsidiary bank in Russia does not have a co-brand with S7 Airlines, but you can connect the special “Intesa – S7 Priority” program to most debit and credit cards, which allows you to receive S7 Priority program miles for card purchases. Accruals and welcome bonus depend on the type of bank card.

Thus, Visa Classic owners can count on a welcome bonus of 500 miles and 1 S7 Priority mile for 60 rubles. Visa Gold holders already receive 1000 miles and 1.25 miles for 60 rubles. And if Visa Signature and Visa Infinite cards are connected to “Intesa – S7 Priority”, they will give you 1,500 miles and 1.5 miles for every 60 rubles spent. Miles are accrued monthly no later than the 10th day of the month following the reporting period.

The cost of maintenance is not so simple. Firstly, payment is taken for servicing the card itself. It all depends on the chosen tariff, in some cases you can get a card with the first year of free service under the Traveler or Intesa Top Manager tariff, and a free card is also given when opening a deposit.

Secondly, “Intesa – S7 Priority”, although connected for free, costs 300 rubles for each month of use, regardless of the type of card. But you don’t have to pay if you have minimum card turnover:

• Visa Classic– from 10,000 rubles;
• Visa Gold– from 20,000 rubles;
• Visa Signature– from 25,000 rubles;
• Visa Infinite– from 35,000 rubles.

These cards do not have any other benefits or additional bonuses for S7 Priorirty members.

This is the most important bank with the S7 Priority co-brand. It is S7-Tinkoff card holders who receive the most benefits and bonuses from the airline. There are two types of cards to choose from: World Mastercard and World Mastercard Black Edition, each can be debit or credit.

S7-Tinkoff World Mastercard debit allows you to receive 3 miles for every 60 rubles of purchases at S7 Airlines (for tickets at fares that participate in the accrual of miles and other services at S7, with the exception of taxes and fees on award tickets). 1.5 miles will be given for 60 rubles for all other purchases, but provided that the daily balance on the card is at least 150,000 rubles, otherwise you should only count on 1.25 miles. There are also special offers from partners, but they are individual.

For those who spend 800,000 rubles on purchases in a quarter, they are given Silver status in S7 Priority for the next quarter, as well as 1 upgrade voucher (valid for 1 year from the date of issue).

The cost of servicing a debit card is 190 rubles per month or free if you have a bank cash loan or the account balance has not decreased below 150,000 rubles during the reporting period. Alerts about transactions will cost 59 rubles per month.

The S7-Tinkoff World Mastercard credit card comes with a limit of up to 700,000 rubles and an interest-free period of up to 55 days. Interest rate up to 39.9% per annum. Here you get 1.5 miles for every 60 rubles spent, regardless of the amount of your own funds and turnover, other conditions are similar to the debit card. At the same time, for purchases worth more than 250,000 rubles in the first three months after opening the card, they give a bonus of 12,000 S7 Priority miles. Annual maintenance is 1890 rubles.

World Mastercard Black Edition debit gives 4 miles for every 60 rubles of purchases at S7 Airlines (for tickets at fares that participate in the accrual of miles and other services at S7, with the exception of taxes and fees on award tickets). 2 miles will be given for 60 rubles for all other purchases, but provided that the daily balance on the card is at least 300,000 rubles, otherwise you should only count on 1.5 miles. There are also special offers from partners, but they are individual.

For those who spend 800,000 rubles on purchases in a quarter, they are given Silver status in S7 Priority for the next quarter, as well as 1 upgrade voucher (valid for 1 year from the date of issue). The card comes with travel insurance with a limit of up to $100,000, a dedicated number at S7 Airlines, concierge service and LoungeKey with two free passes per month.

The cost of servicing a debit card is 999 rubles per month, notification of transactions is free.

The World Mastercard Black Edition credit card has a limit of up to 1,500,000 rubles, an interest-free period of up to 55 days. The conditions for accruing miles are similar, except that two miles are given for all transactions, regardless of the amount of your own funds and turnover. Welcome bonus of 20,000 miles for total purchases of 600,000 rubles in the first three months after opening the card. Annual maintenance is 7990 rubles.

All S7-Tinkoff cards give access to closed sales of S7 Airlines tickets, which are held twice a year (spring and autumn), the next one is scheduled for the end of September 2018.

Almazergienbank

This is a bank from Yakutsk, and although it has a branch in Moscow, it is still more suitable for those who are somehow connected with Yakutsk. The reason is that cardholders of this bank have access to special prices for tickets for miles from Yakutsk to Irkutsk, Moscow and Novosibirsk, as well as between Mirny and Novosibirsk. Talking about economy:

But there is a limitation: a ticket at this rate can be issued if at least 1,200 miles have been credited to the participant’s account from Almazergienbank for paying for goods and services on the card during the quarter (three months in a row), or at least 4,800 miles during the year (12 months contract). A ticket at a special rate can be issued to the cardholder and fellow travelers booked with him in the same booking.

Let's pass on to the cards. There are two of them, they are debit: Visa Classic and Visa Gold.

Visa Classic – 500 welcome miles, 1 mile for every 55 rubles, annual service cost 900 rubles. Visa Gold allows you to get 1000 welcome miles and 1 mile for 44 rubles, annual service will cost 2800 rubles.

BBR

This is also an additional bonus program that connects to the bank’s main card. There are two main types of cards: classic cards and gold cards. Servicing cards of the first type will cost 900 rubles, gold – 2700 rubles. Connecting to the S7 Priority program is free, but for classic cards the monthly subscription fee is 30 rubles, and for Gold level cards – 50 rubles.

The welcome bonus for classic cards is 300 miles, for gold cards – 500 miles. At the same time, the classic card allows you to get 1 mile for 90 rubles spent, and the gold card gives you 1.2 miles.

Primsotsbank

This is a Far Eastern bank, albeit with a branch in Moscow, which has a couple of products on the topic of this review. These are MasterCard Gold and MasterCard Platinum debit cards, to which you can connect the S7 option.

The first allows you to receive 1 mile for every 60 rubles spent, the first year is free, then 300 rubles per year. MasterCard Platinum has 1 mile for 55 rubles, the first year of the option is free, then 500 rubles per year. SMS notification is free.

Raiffeisenbank

This is not even an option, but a possibility of exchange. The #allimmediate credit card allows you to receive 1 point for every 50 rubles spent, and then exchange these points for miles from the S7 Priority program. There are different gradations, but the general rule is: the more points, the more miles. So 3,000 points will bring 4,000 S7 Priority miles (which gives the cost of a mile 37.5 rubles), and 15,000 points will give 30,000 S7 Priority miles (and it turns out that one mile costs 27 rubles). The debit option is not so attractive, where 1 point is given for 100 rubles (except for the first 365 days from the moment the card is issued for new clients, when 1 point is awarded for 50 rubles). Points are valid for 36 months from the date of accrual.

The bank also promises that it will give 300 welcome points (you need to spend 5,000 rubles), 300 points for your birthday and 200 points for the New Year. At the same time, the first year of service is promised free for new customers. The usual annual fee for a credit card with a standard design is 1,490 rubles, and with an individual one – 1,990 rubles. The debit card for new clients is serviced free of charge for the first year (for old clients – 1490/1990 rubles). SMS notification costs 60 rubles per month.

The map looks great, but there are limitations. A maximum of 1,000 points can be awarded per month. Thus, to get 30,000 S7 Priority miles at 27 rubles (approximately) per mile, you need to spend at least 50,000 rubles on the card for 15 months in the first 12 months and another 220,000 rubles in the next three months (+ pay 1,490 rubles for the second year service). There are probably some other pitfalls, but I didn’t find them.

Bottom line

If S7 Priority is the main program for you or there is a good turnover on cards, then S7-Tinkoff is your choice. Generous credit card rewards, good bonuses and additional features make this card, if not ideal, then one of the best for those who actively collect S7 Priority miles.

For those who have sufficient turnover, but S7 Priority is not the main program, I would advise you to take a closer look at the Raiffeisenbank card. Yes, it probably has pitfalls, but for a leisurely accumulation of 30,000 miles in 15 months, this is a good additional card, and it’s also free in the first year if you manage to open it before the end of September.

All other cases are niche or regional products, and they can be considered if you live in Yakutia or the Far East, or for some reason the same Primsotsbank or BBR is convenient for you.

I hope this material has brought some clarity to what bank cards in Russia allow you to receive S7 Priority.

Please note that the data in this text is current as of September 3, 2018.

Registration in the S7 Airlines Priority program gives the opportunity to travel with the whole family, while accumulating miles that can be used in the future as a tool to increase comfort or to purchase new tickets from partner companies.

The accumulation of bonuses on the Priority card occurs through car rental, daily purchases for a certain amount, flights or hotel reservations.

What is the S7 Priority program

The S7 Priority loyalty program will allow its members to receive bonuses in the form of miles for flights and payment for goods and services with further exchange for air tickets or increased comfort during flights and in lounges. The main plus is that the whole family can take part in this, including small children.

To successfully and, it is enough to get a temporary card, register it and periodically fly with S7 airlines.

How to register in the program

To start accumulating S7 Airlines miles, you need to. In the future, the client will be able to use bonuses to purchase tickets for 16 different airlines of his choice. A new S7 Priority user will be able to improve flight conditions thanks to the accumulated miles.

When registering with S7 Priority, the client will be asked to go to the official website of the company or fill out a simple form if he already has a temporary card. Below are fields for entering your first name, last name, date of birth and mobile phone number. Next, you need to enter data from your passport, so before you sit down to register in the S7 Priority program, it is advisable to prepare documents in advance.

After you need to fill in the lines with information from the passport. The name and surname are indicated here, as in the document. Now the last step is to enter your email address and password.

What is a temporary S7 Priority card for?

The temporary S7 Priority card is another way to advertise S7 Airlines. Usually passengers buy it together with plane tickets. The distribution of this plastic is always carried out by organizations participating in the program. All temporary S7 Priority cards have their own number, which means the client's personal account. In the future, it can be used to pay for goods and services of the company.

Once the client has become a member of the S7 Priority program, he does not even have to show plastic; he just needs to find out the card number in his personal account and indicate it when checking in for the flight. The temporary S7 Priority card is not tied to a name, so other people, relatives or friends, can also use it. If it is used in any of the partner organizations, the client will receive earned bonuses to his credit.

Note!

It is important to take into account the fact that you can use the accumulated miles only if the client managed to register in the program on the official website within a year after the first use of the S7 payment card. If you do not pass the activation, it will become invalid, and all bonuses will be canceled.

The Priority S7 card is activated immediately after entering your personal account. But before that, you need to start the registration procedure and receive an SMS with a code that will be required to enter the site. After that, an email will be sent to the previously specified email address stating that the account was successfully activated. But to complete online registration in the program after the first use of the card, you must follow the link from the letter.

Now the S7 Priority program member will have access to information about the status of his account and any transactions around the clock.

Accumulation of miles for the services of partner companies

After a member has registered and officially became a member of the S7 Priority program, he will be able to take full advantage of all its features. At the same time, you will receive the first 500 welcome bonuses, which can later be used to upgrade the class of service on flights. He will also have the opportunity to register a child, since children from 2 years old can participate in the S7 Priority program.

Bonuses are credited to the mile card based on the flight distance and on the basis of the purchased special air ticket fare, namely:

1. "Economy class" (basic) - 50.
2. "Flexible business" - 250.
3. "Flexible economy" - 100.
4. Business (basic) - 150.

In order for the S7 Airlines Priority program to independently credit miles to your account when purchasing air tickets, you must indicate your personal account number during check-in for the flight. If a mistake was made or the client simply forgot to do it, he will have another chance to. For this, the following conditions must be met:

• at least 3 days must pass from the moment of boarding the flight;
• all client data must match those indicated on the personal account page on the official website.

After applying for an S7 card, most customers start thinking about how to earn miles faster. To do this, it is recommended to use the card not only to pay for services in the air, but also on the ground. Plastic can be used in almost all stores abroad and in Russia. When making purchases for a certain amount, the client will receive up to 2 miles.

What are the privileges for status clients?

After the client has received a temporary S7 Priority loyalty card, he should think about purchasing a full-fledged plastic card in order to be able to use all the privileges for status clients. Each card has a separate package of additional services, namely:

• classic card. In this case, the client has the opportunity to change the accrued bonuses for bonuses and raise the status level if he did not suit him;
• platinum. Here the received bonuses are increased by 75%. The passenger will be able to use the "Business Class" lounge and get an additional place for luggage. Also, for such clients, a priority choice of seats on the plane is provided, there are practically no restrictions on the weight of the things transported, and the service class is upgraded automatically every 6 months;
• silver card. An additional 25% of bonuses will be added to the miles received from flights. Also, the client will be able to choose a convenient seat for himself on the plane without surcharges, check in at the business desk and get an extra piece of luggage;
• golden status. In addition to the bonuses above, the customer will receive another 25% more miles and will be able to get access to the Lounge.

fireproof miles

In order for miles to become fireproof, the client must adhere to certain rules and comply with all conditions. First, you need to make one flight during the year using the services of S7 Airlines or another organization that is part of the oneworld alliance. At the same time, it is worth remembering that the tariff must correspond to the one at which bonuses are accrued.

In order for the company to show loyalty, you will have to use the card not only to pay for services during flights. In this case, the client will have to accumulate at least 5,000 miles, which cannot include welcome bonuses received under the promotion from. All miles must be received as a result of payment for goods and services in stores in Russia and abroad.

When all conditions are met, it remains to go through a paid renewal of miles at the end of the current year.

Mile types

S7 Priority members can earn status and bonus miles.

Status miles (in addition to the ability to exchange them for awards) allow you to increase the Elite status of a passenger. Such bonuses are credited for flights with S7 Airlines and alliance air carriers, for using the services of partners.

Bonus miles can be spent on awards, they are accrued for flights with other partner air carriers, purchases using S7 Priority co-branded bank cards, use of partner services, participation in special promotions.

How to earn miles

The units of account of the Program are miles, which can be used to receive various awards within S7 Priority.

To earn miles, you must show your membership card when booking an air ticket, checking in for a flight or using partner services. When checking in for a flight on your own through the website or kiosk, as well as when buying tickets on the s7.ru portal, it is enough to indicate the account number in the Program.

You can earn miles to receive an award ticket in any way:

• for flights with S7 Airlines - as a percentage of the distance (25-200% depending on the fare);
• for travel with partner airlines - as a percentage of the distance and the paid fare (25-150%);
• for using the services of partner companies;
• for paying for everyday purchases with a co-branded bank card (1-1.75 miles for spent 30 rubles).

It is worth noting that with Alfa-Bank S7 Priority credit cards, you can receive 1-1.75 miles for spent 30 rubles (depending on the BPC category), as well as 500-1000 welcome miles (for the first card payment within 3 months date of issue) and 500 bonus miles on the customer's birthday.

AIRLINE S7:(formerly “Siberia”) – the fourth largest in Russia; 8 million people used its services in 2014. The company's base airports are Novosibirsk Tolmachevo and Moscow Domodedovo. From here there are routes to 83 destinations, including Russian regions and 26 foreign countries. Now the company has 58 aircraft, the oldest of which is the 20-year-old Boeing 767-300, and the youngest Boeing 737-800 is not even a year old.

Since 2010, S7 Airlines has been one of 16 member companies of the OneWorld alliance, which also includes British Airways, Air Berlin, Qatar Airways and American Airlines. Passengers of these air carriers have access to the S7 Priority bonus program, which allows them to earn and spend miles.

REGISTRATION IN THE S7 PRIORITY PROGRAM AND TYPES OF MILES

There are three ways to register for the S7 Priority program:

• By filling out a special form on the official website of S7 Airlines.
• By obtaining a bank card from a partner bank. Currently there are three such partner banks: Alfa-Bank, UniCredit Bank and Bank of Moscow.
• By calling the S7 Priority Service Center 8-800-100-77-11 (calls within Russia are free).

After registering for the S7 Priority program, you can start accumulating miles. There are two types of accumulated miles - bonus and status.

Status miles allow you to upgrade your membership status in the S7 Priority program to elite. The higher the class, the more miles you will be awarded for your flight. You can accumulate status miles in only one way: - making regular flights on S7 airlines and airlines that are members of the OneWorld alliance.

In total, S7 Priority provides three elite statuses:

• Silver – increases the number of miles awarded for flights by 25%.
• Gold – increases the number of miles awarded for flights by 50%.
• Platinum – increases the number of miles awarded for flights by 100%.

To achieve one of the elite statuses, you must accumulate a certain number of status miles in 1 year: 20,000 to achieve silver status, 50,000 to achieve gold, 75,000 to achieve platinum.
All elite statuses have a limited duration. Each of them is valid for one year following the year of the flight after which this status was assigned. However, if a bonus program participant is under 12 years old, his miles do not expire.

Bonus miles are accumulated for flights on airlines participating in the OneWorld alliance and purchases from program partners. This type of miles can be exchanged for an air ticket, an upgrade to a class of service, or for goods and services provided by partner companies.
Unlike status miles, bonus miles accumulated as a result of making purchases from program partners do not expire a year after they were accrued. But you can spend them on purchasing an air ticket only if during the current calendar year you have made at least one flight on S7 airlines.

HOW TO ACCUMULATE S7 PRIORITY MILES

Upon registration in the S7 Priority loyalty program, each new participant is assigned 500 welcome miles. You can increase their number in several ways.

Method No. 1. Flights on regular flights of S7 and partner airlines. The number of miles accrued depends on the flight distance, fare and class of service:

• Promotional rate: 0.25 bonus miles per 1 real mile.
• Economy class: half bonus mile for every real mile.
• Standard: 1 bonus mile per 1 real mile.
• Business class: 2 bonus miles per mile flown.

When purchasing an air ticket or when checking in for a flight, do not forget to indicate your participation number in the S7 Priority program. This is important because otherwise you may end up without miles.

If for some reason you did not indicate your S7 Priority membership number, bonus miles can be restored within 90 days after the flight. To do this, you need to provide electronic tickets and original boarding passes to the S7 service center or send documents through your personal account on the airline’s website.
By the way, in the same way you can return bonuses for flights that were carried out within six months before registration in the S7 Priority loyalty program.

Method No. 2. Registration of a plastic card in one of three partner banks - Alfa-Bank, UniCredit Bank or Bank of Moscow.

Alfa-Bank credits from 1 to 1.75 miles (depending on the type of bank card) for every 60 rubles spent on the card and from 5,600 to 1,000 welcome miles. UniCredit Bank estimates 60 rubles per 1 to 1.5 miles, but credits from 2 000 to 6,000 welcome miles. But the Bank of Moscow awards miles for every 40 rubles (from 1 to 1.75) and from 1,000 to 3,000 welcome miles when issuing a card.

Miles are credited to your account automatically once at the end of each reporting month; you do not need to indicate your S7 Priority membership number each time when making a card payment.

Method number 3. Accommodation in partner hotels, including:

HOW AND WHAT TO SPEND S7 PRIORITY MILES ON

The lowest price for an award ticket is S7 - 15,000 bonus miles. These are flights within Russia in economy class in both directions or to Europe in one direction.

However, there is one important point: taxes and airport taxes are always paid in real money, so such cheapness can be deceptive. What are the best ways to spend your miles?

Purchasing an airline ticketS7.
The “cost” of an S7 airline ticket in miles can be found on the airline’s website, but we provide this information (valid as of October 21, 2015) for reference:

According to data from the S7 airline website

Unlike Aeroflot miles, the S7 Priority program is beneficial when purchasing air tickets to many European destinations.
In both programs, a comparable number of miles will be written off for such a purchase, but the fees in real money in the S7 mile program are significantly lower. For example, fees for a flight to Alicante (Spain) and back will be only 1,000 rubles.

Upgrade your service class
When flying on regular flights with S7 Airlines, you can exchange an economy ticket for a seat in business class for 3,750 miles. However, such an upgrade is impossible if the air ticket itself was also purchased with bonus miles.

Fly long distances in business class.
If you have accumulated a large number of miles, it is profitable to use them for a business class ticket to remote points of the country and the world. For example, in the following areas:

• Moscow-Khabarovsk-Moscow. The monetary value of such a ticket is 115,540 rubles. When paying under the bonus program, you will need 70,000 miles and an additional payment of RUB 6,000. in the form of a dachshund. The savings will be 109,540 rubles.
• Moscow-Baku-Moscow. The monetary value of such a ticket is 60,000 rubles. However, 40,000 miles will be deducted from the bonus program participant’s card, and you will have to pay additional fees of only 3,500 rubles. Saving 56,500 rubles.

Fly on other OneWorld member flights.
You can use S7 miles to pay for a ticket on one of 150 flights operated by 15 member airlines of the OneWorld alliance. So, for example, a one-way domestic flight within Europe* can be completed for 7,500 miles, and a one-way flight from Russia to Europe costs 12,500 miles.
* In this case, by domestic flight, S7 means a flight within one country, as well as flights between China and Hong Kong and flights between the USA and Canada (excluding Hawaii).

Donate miles to charity.
Among S7 Priority’s partners is the Tomsk Ordinary Miracle Foundation. He provides assistance to families with a seriously ill child. The accumulated miles can be transferred to a fund - they will be used to purchase air tickets for children who need to fly to another city or country for treatment. In order to transfer miles to those in need, you can use your personal account on the airline’s website or call the service center on the hotline 8-800-100-77-11.
