Four percent gets 100 percent of the Freddie
Best Promotion — Airlines, Middle East & Asia/Oceania · Saudia Alfursan — 4% Bonus Miles When Purchasing Miles
Four percent.
Not 40.
Not 100.
Four.
And it won.
Saudia Alfursan’s 4% Bonus Miles When Purchasing Miles takes Best Promotion for 2025.
There is something wonderfully contrary about that result in an industry where promotional numbers increasingly resemble late-night television advertisements.
50% BONUS!
100% BONUS!
BUY ONE MILE, RECEIVE ANOTHER MILE AND A SET OF STEAK KNIVES!
Alfursan’s promotion apparently didn’t require that sort of shouting.
Members valued it enough to vote first.
A useful reminder:
The best promotion isn’t necessarily the one with the largest typeface.
It’s the one members find useful.
Four percent.
One hundred percent Freddie.
