FlySmiLes, the new frequent flyer rewards programme of SriLankan Airlines, has extended the time period for members of Skywards, the airline’s previous frequent flyer programme to transfer their points, up to 15-Aug-08.
SriLankan Airlines launched FlySmiLes in March as its partnership with Skywards ended. Existing Skywards Members were given a choice of transferring their points (known as Miles) in full or part to FlySmiLes.
Skywards and Sky Surfers members who wish to transfer points can forward a request to Skywards or the nearest Emirates office on or before 15-Aug-08. Or they could forward the message using the feedback form on their respective Skywards accounts. When forwarding the request they need to indicate their FlySmiLes number. Miles transferred could be redeemed after 01-Nov-08.
Members of Skywards who join FlySmiLes will be immediately placed in the same tier.e.g. Gold members will be placed as Gold members.
FlySmiLes has three tiers of membership – Gold, Silver, and Blue – according to the number of miles flown by each member. Every mile flown is credited as one FlySmiLes Mile. Silver membership is for those who earn over 25,000 tier miles or fly a minimum of 20 sectors within a calendar year. Gold membership is for those with more than 50,000 tier miles or 40 sectors.
Silver members receive a 25% bonus for every mile flown, and Gold members a whopping 50% for every mile flown.
