S7 Priority from Promsvyazbank. S7 Priority program from S7 Airlines

Previously, S7 partners were six banks. However, Unicredit Bank and the Bank of Moscow stopped issuing airline cards. As a result, only three co-branded offers from Alfa-Bank, Promsvyazbank and Tinkoff Bank remained. With a Raiffeisenbank card, you can exchange bonus points for miles. You can accumulate miles on a Rosevrobank card when you connect this option, for which you need to pay 61 rubles. per month.

To determine the most profitable card, a flight from Moscow to Sochi and back was taken. If you fly away on May 1, 2017, and return on May 9, then you need to pay 11,970 rubles for tickets. Members of the S7 Priority bonus program can buy a ticket for at least 16,000 miles (Promo fare, without the possibility to change dates). You will also have to pay taxes and fees - 3800 rubles.

The fastest way to earn 16,000 miles is with a Tinkoff Bank debit card. To do this, you will need to make purchases in the amount of at least 640 thousand rubles. Minus the card in the cost of its maintenance - 2280 rubles. in year.

In second place is the Promsvyazbank card. To accumulate the required number of miles, you will have to spend 768 thousand rubles. In third place is Alfa-Bank with 930 thousand rubles.

The Raiffeisenbank card turned out to be the least profitable of all S7 partners, where the amount of expenses should be 1.29 million rubles. The problem is that in order to get 16,000 miles, you need to exchange 18,000 bank points for 20,000 S7 miles. In this case, after the flight, 4,000 miles will remain free, which you can continue to save for the next tickets. If you want to buy exactly 16,000 S7 miles, you will need to earn 32,500 Raiffeisenbank points.

How to earn miles faster?

1. Choose a premium card. For example, in Alfa-Bank, with the Green card, 1 mile is credited for every 60 rubles spent, and with the PlatinumBlack card - 1.5 miles. The disadvantage of premium cards is the high cost of service. Platinum Black will cost 1850 rubles. in a year.
2. Make any purchases with a co-branded card. The more you spend, the faster you earn the required number of miles. Try to pay for others with your card. For example, we went to a restaurant with a large group. Invite your friends to pay the bill with their card, and for them to transfer money to the card or give it in cash.
3. Spend more in special categories. For example, on a Tinkoff card of BlackEdition Bank for every 60 rubles. you can get 4 miles when buying tickets on the S7 website and up to 18 miles when buying from bank partners.

How did they count?

The search for the most profitable card took place among S7 partners, which are listed on the official airline. Each bank selected debit cards with the lowest service cost. The cost of maintenance was indicated subject to storage and expenses of 30 thousand rubles. during the billing period. In case of an increased balance on the account or other expenses, the cost of service may not be charged. The calculation of the minimum amount of spending for the accumulation of 16,000 miles for the purchase of a ticket took into account the maximum accrual of miles for everyday spending. Spending in special categories, for which there is an increased accrual of miles for purchases, was not taken into account due to the impossibility of predicting them. Banks accrue miles when rounding down the amount of purchases. For example, spending 30 rubles on the card. the bank will not accrue miles, but having spent 530 rubles, the bank will accrue 8 miles (if each costs 60 rubles).

S7 Airlines, a member of the oneworld global aviation alliance, and Promsvyazbank presented to travel enthusiasts a co-branded Promsvyazbank - S7 Priority card based on the MasterCard international payment system.

Holders of new cards automatically become members of the S7 Priority frequent flyer program and get the opportunity to earn miles by paying for daily purchases with the card, flying with S7 Airlines, partner airlines and using the services of other partners of the S7 Priority program, for example, car rental companies, hotels , insurance companies, retail chains and others.
