Bonus Study

Bonus Study

Frequent Flyer Bonuses has released a report listing the “most generous” frequent flyer programs by how many bonus offers the programs offered between Aug. 1, 2013 to July 31, 2014. Air Canada’s Aeroplan came in number one with 122 promotions, followed by Cathay Pacific Asia Miles (100 promotions), Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer (92), American AAdvantage (87) and Air France / KLM Flying Blue (82). United ranked seventh with 79 promotions and was one of the three airlines in North America that made the top 15 list.

Bottom line: Although interesting to see the numbers, this study reflects “bonuses posted to FrequentFlyerBonuses.com”, which we do not know includes every bonus the program ran. The study also does not take into account how “generous” the individual bonus offers were. And we do not know how, or if, they tracked targeted offers.
