I missed this news release earlier in summer.

Any other airlines have a similar program? I note that the points scheme for business is different than that for individual plans.

Air France Debuts Voyageur Rewards for Small-to-Medium Size Companies

Air France has rolled out "Voyageur Rewards" a new money-saving reward and incentive program in a mass mailing to more than 40,000 U.S. based companies with fewer than 500 employees.

Voyageur Rewards allows employees of a company to collectively earn discount certificates, upgrades and free travel for their companies while at the same time continuing to earn their own miles in Fréquence Plus. All employees share one account number and refer to the Air France Voyageur Rewards program when booking flights directly with Air France or their company's travel agent.

"Enrollment is easy, tracking is automatic, and turning points into rewards can benefit the tens of thousands of small-to-medium size companies across America that make up a very important segment of the business community," Pinson noted.

Earning points is easy and the reward scale is simple. For example, for a USA/PARIS/USA ticket, the passenger earns 1,800 points if traveling in L'Espace 127 (business class). To redeem a free round-trip ticket from the U.S. to Europe is 4,000 points in Tempo (coach class), 7,000 points in L'Espace 127 (business class), 13,000 points in L'Espace 180 (first class) and 15,000 points on Concorde. Round-trip Upgrade Certificates to Europe are between 1,300 points for L'Espace 127 to 6,500 points for Concorde. Discount Certificates ranging from $50 to $500 require 600 points to 1,500 points.

Points earned will expire on December 31, 2000. Any rewards must be claimed before December 31, 2000 and are valid for one year from date of issue. Maximum earnings: 100,000 points per year per company.

Actually, there are several international airlines with similar programs, Lufthansa and JAL have been around for many years. The latest are sponsored by Virgin and British Airways (Venture Club). There used to be one here in the US (offered by People's Express) but it went away real quickly when "discovered". There are some private deals offered by US Airlines, but nothing that is public and certainly nothing that offers a brochure to....

China Airlines has a program where an employee and an employeer can "double dip" (TM). Say I work for Randy and I am on his employees list which is registered with CI. I fly from LAX to TPE, I would get 13,000 miles and so would Insideflyer.

One problem with Reward One:
It's not available in hub areas.
