May 26 Update: Alitalia MilleMiglia targets flyers aged 14-25, US Airways buy miles bonus extended, Aeroplan bonus for Starwood redemptions

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend

News, Tips & Tricks

In the bonus offers section we post new bonuses from Alitalia MilleMiglia that
targets flyers aged 14-25. In many of my discussions with various
levels of employees at loyalty programs I have often mentioned that
there are two markets generally ignored or underserved by the programs
and those are the youung person market and the old person/baby boomer
market. Looks like Alitalia has taken noticed of the first at least with
the MilleMiglia Young program which not only has the bonus offer listed
below (2,000 of those miles are totally free) but thay also offer
everyone in that age group 20% off award tickets. So you earn up to
4,000 miles for joining, you get a 50% bonus on all your flights and a
20% discount on award tickets? That’s the way you should target a
market! You have a group that cannot afford to fly as much (of course
the ~14-18 year set probably have to rely on their parents) so what do
you do? You award them more miles on their flights and a discount on
redemption, this way that group of flyers who would normally take many
years to earn enough miles for an award ticket (or perhaps even never!)
may actually have a hope of a redemption and as anyone in the loyalty
industry knows that once a member has actually redeemed for a reward,
they are more likely to continue using that program and remain loyal as
they actually feel the program provides them with value. So if you are
in that age group or have kids that age get them to join now at least
for the 2,000 miles that come totally free and then work on earning more
miles if you are an Alitalia flyer!

The US Airways Dividend Miles up to 100% bonus on
buying Miles has been extended to May 31st (you can ignore our post on
the weekend stating the ‘last day’ was the 25th) Read more about this
