topbonus, the leading customer loyalty programme from airberlin, is the only German frequent flyer programme to offer members the option of buying extra award miles, in packages of 2,500-50,000 miles. The offer started on 1 June 2016.
topbonus members who have already collected some miles, but not enough to book a free flight, can now benefit from the topbonus miles purchase option. The award miles are credited immediately after purchase, and can be redeemed directly against an award flight booking. Members can access the award miles purchase site conveniently either from their personal topbonus profile or by visiting http://www.airberlin.com/buymiles.

Tip: members who pay for their miles with an airberlin Visa card earn additional award and status miles with each purchase. The smallest miles package is already available for just 50 euros (2,500 miles).

Passengers that are not yet a topbonus member can register gratis on board of any airberlin flight or online by visiting http://www.topbonus.airberlin.com.

topbonus is Germany’s second largest frequent flyer program and has received multiple awards as one of the leading customer loyalty programmes with more than 4.2 million members. With 25 partner airlines and over 100 renowned partner companies, by using the airberlin Visa card and by booking via the topbonus hotel platform members collect topbonus miles worldwide. Collaboration with the American Express Membership Rewards, DeutschlandCard and SHELL Clubsmart programmes means participants can convert points from those programmes into topbonus award miles. Award miles can be redeemed for award flights, further exclusive benefits, or online at the topbonus shop. If members don’t have enough award miles to purchase a flight, they can now make a payment in the amount of the difference. Thanks to the partnership with Etihad Airways, Alitalia and other Etihad Airways Partners along with oneworld® membership, holders of a topbonus status card have worldwide access to over 700 premium airport lounges. Together, airberlin and Etihad Airways offer their guests 228 destinations in 84 countries. More than 1,000 destinations are available across the oneworld network. As the operator of airberlin’s frequent flyer programme, topbonus Ltd. has a close association with the airline. www.airberlin.com/topbonus
