saa Voyager Credit Card free Companion Ticket

One of the redemption benefits of a South African Airways (SAA) Voyager Credit Card is the Companion Ticket. The following explains how our members can reap its rewards:

Voyager Premium and Gold credit card holders are entitled to:

- One companion ticket every calendar year when they achieve the spend threshold of R60 000 and R80 000 respectively. This allows the cardholder to get free tickets for spouse on their next paying SAA operated flight (this excludes SA Express, Airlink, Star Alliance member airlines and code share flights).
- Book in qualifying fare classes so that members can use their companion benefit. These include all Business Class booking class and Y, B, M, K and H economy class fare code.

South African Airways Voyager premium and gold credit card holders have to pay all applicable taxes and levies.

The first four economy class fare code are generally higher in price descending from Y to K. The category ‘H’ was added to make it easier for card holders to qualify for a Companion Ticket. The reason why only certain classes have been chosen to qualify for this benefit is because the fare classes Y, B, M, K and H are more flexible and some have no penalties.

When flying in business or economy class a companion ticket is always issued on a full fare basis, irrespective of whether the revenue ticket is in one of the qualifying discounted fares. Should you therefore wish to make changes on the companion ticket, you will not be penalised for making travel date changes.
