Businesses can earn FF points at the same time individuals are earning
I have a document that gives web links to the various programs. I can send it to you.I have a section on programs for businesses on my Other Programs I Like page of my website below. Bet I have all of them. Hope I lose the bet, so you can tell me about others.Hertz's Business Account Program offers credits based upon rental days, not total spend and small (solo) businesses can join ^
http://tinyurl.com/4vlv49Why not just post them for everyone to discuss? :confused:There are many programs that do this. I can think of Starwood Hotels, American Airlines and Delta just off the top of my head. But why not just post the links?? I'm sure people here would appreciate it.While it helps to be a big business, because they are all free and earn perks/points that are in addition to - not in leiu of - miles, it makes sense for even small/medium businesses to join. I ended up flying a bunch of my employees on a trip last winter and that trip alone earned enough for an upgrade. Not a big deal, but the next time I send someone on a trip, they can go F.

https://www.businessextraa.com/index.jhtml?_requestid=104205bmi has the Company Rewards program for companies that don't have a corporate discount agreement. It gives small rebates on tickets. Rebates range from £3 on flights within the UK to £20 on premium economy or business-class trans-Atlantic tickets. They can be used toward future flights, donated to charity or given back as cash. (You also get a 4% rebate if you spend more than £50,000 a year with bmi, but at that level you ought to have a corporate discount agreement anyhow.) No other awards, but no downside either. More information here. (https://www.flybmi.com/bmi/en-gb/reward-schemes/company-rewards/company-rewards.aspx)Thank you for your offer. I'd like to see the web links.

Just put it in a PM to me. private messageAlaska Airlines has an EasyBiz program where the business earns "miles" based on spending (2 miles/dollar spent), and the employee earns miles for flights flown.
http://www.alaskaair.com/as/EasyBiz/EasyBizInfo.aspIf you're talking about programs like American's BusinessExtraa, they're not frequent flyer miles at all. Those points are based on spend rather than miles, and expire within 1 to 2 years.
They're a good deal for the owners of bigger businesses with lots of employees traveling, or a core group buying expensive tickets fairly regularly. The employees get their own FF miles, and the owner gets points toward awards for free tix, upgrades, etc. Your business needs to spend upwards of $20K a year on airfare to get any of the better awards, and under $5K/year, your points will likely expire before you claim anything beyond a day pass to the Admirals Club.
But if you're interested, the site is www.businessextraa.com.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
