Icelandair Saga Club
The Icelandair Saga Club is a frequent flyer program that was created in 1992 by Iclandair to attract repeat fliers traveling internationally. Icelandair also contracts with Iceland’s National Bank and other National companies so that members can accrue and redeem points for purchases.
The airline targets specific e-mails to members according to reported interests and pasts traveled destinations and sends offers as well as certificates that can be applied towards vacations, flights, and events. The Saga Club is a loyalty club that has a 75% participation rate in Iceland.
One of the biggest moves of Icelandair‘s Saga Club is its contract with points.com. This agreement essentially joins all of Icelandair’s member points with other participating air loyalty member clubs that contract with points.com. Now members can redeem miles on many other airlines as well as with hotels or redeem awards for merchandise, gift certificates, or earn points for magazines. Club members can share their miles with others without incurring any fees to do so.
The Saga Club begins with the first tier Saga Bonus, second- Saga Silver, and then the top Saga Gold. From all accounts Icelandair’s frequent flier club offers many benefits for its members. Now the only rule is that you must be 18 to join. The airline is currently looking in to changing that rule in order to allow children to join the club. |
