“At different occasions, when customers provide us with feedback on how to make the customer loyalty programme flying blue more attractive, the question often asked is: if it would be possible to use flying blue miles on more products, especially products customers need in their day to day life?
“As we like to listen to our customers and try as much as possible to improve on the services we offer, we decided to look for a partner to turn this dream into a reality.
Today we are happy to announce that we are joining forces with the biggest online retailer in Nigeria – Jumia!” To benefit, the process requires Air France-KLM Flying Blue members to visit www.flyingblue.com then – spend miles – blue store – leisure – shopping voucher to retrieve their vouchers.
The vouchers are of three values, each indicating the cash value and miles value. Members can buy the voucher of their choice and have the miles deducted from their Flying Blue account. An email will be sent to them with an online shopping code for jumia.com.ng.
Alternatively, members can also combine the value of the voucher with cash to pay for the item of their choice. Members who have insufficient miles for an airline award or who have miles expiring soon can convert these miles into vouchers to shop on Jumia.com.ng.
