South African Airways and Nedbank Launch Voyager Cheque Card

South African Airways (SAA) Voyager and Nedbank have launched a new cheque card which guarantees users to earn air miles per transactional swipe. It's a first in the world.
The card represents a shift in the way in which air miles are earned. Traditionally, airline reward programmes offer co-branded credit cards to customers to allow them to earn air miles based on their credit spend.
The new SAA Voyager Cheque Card offers existing holders of SAA Voyager Credit Cards the opportunity to increase the miles they earn and the benefits thereof without the need to increase their credit spend or acquire additional credit cards.
There are now exciting enhancements to the SAA Voyager Credit Card offering including the opportunity for SAA Voyager Premium credit cardholders to earn additional 15 000 bonus miles per calendar year by spending R300 000 or more.
Others are additional Global Companion Ticket for SAA Voyager Premium Credit Cardholders when meeting required spend thresholds and 20% discount on superior travel top-up insurance for SAA flights.
Members will also earn always-on SAA flight discounts of up to 13% and Special promotional flight discounts for cardholders, of up to 40% on SAA-operated flights.
