Why points?
As we covered in the previous blog, chasing airline status is the old way to get upgraded. The airline controls your comfort. Using points gives you the control, because you fly on a confirmed Business class ticket.
At IFLYFLAT, we believe every business should collect (credit card and airline) points from their pay and expenses, to fly Business class at a fraction of the normal cost.
Business owners are in the ‘sweet spot’ for earning because they have large company expenditure and can control how they can pay bills to earn points. eg. via business credit/charge card.
Using points to fly in a structured manner is like creating your own perpetual discount to fly Business or First class anywhere, anytime. We’ve helped hundreds of businesses achieve this through our Points Plan service.
Here are 6 unique benefits of using points to fly:
1. Book last minute or up to 12 months ahead
You can book up to 365 days in advance (or as close as 4 hours before departure for spontaneous or urgent trips).
2. Cancel last minute
Cancel up to 24 hours before departure if things change. Your points and taxes paid will be refunded. Most airlines charge a small fee (or no fee), compared to the high cancellation charges or non-refundable commonly applicable on cash ticket bookings.
3. Year-round savings at your fingertips
Use points to fly Business class at a fraction of the cost. On average, our clients saved $5,100 /pp return using points to fly Business class (2019).
4. Avoid price fluctuations
As we return to the skies in 2021, cash prices will likely soar and upgrades will be near impossible, but points prices are fixed 365, 24/7.
5. Free up cash flow with cards
Earn points on things you are already paying for and reduce stress with better cash flow control in your day to day business.
6. Don’t miss an opportunity
Your business has ample opportunity to collect points for little to no cost. So why turn down and waste ‘free money’? We’ve seen too many businesses miss out on trips due to price, when they could be been flying using points, if they had them.
