Levels of Club One membership

Club One is a three-level Loyal Customer Program. The levels are from lowest to highest Bronze, Silver and Gold level. Even as a Bronze customer you get many different benefits and the benefits get better when you reach higher levels.

The level of Club One membership is based on the amount of bonus points accrued during a tracking period*. When the level changes/is updated the amount of bonus points used to determine the level is reset to zero. The changing or updating of a level doesn't affect the bonus points that can be used to book bonus trips.

* Tracking period = the past consecutive 12 months or the time counted from the latest level update if the time is less than 12 months.

Club One Gold level

The level is valid for 12 months. You remain on the Gold level by accruing at least 60 000 bonus points during the period of validity. Not fulfilling the conditions reverts the membership back to the Silver level.

Club One Silver level

The level is valid for 12 months. You will remain on the Silver level by accruing 15 000 bonus points during the validity period. Not fulfilling the conditions reverts the membership back to the Bronze level. By accruing 60 000 bonus points you rise to the Gold level. A new tracking period starts every time a level is changed/updated.

Club One Bronze level

The Bronze level does not expire and you will maintain your membership until you move to next level or resign. If you accrue 15 000 bonus points during 12 months, you rise to the Silver level. Your Club One card will be renewed automatically if you rise to Silver level.
