As is well known, Alitalia's loyalty program is still alive, and always looking for a new master. For almost 2 years, members have lost their connection with ITA Airways, But not with the airlines. Of the 5 million members several hundred thousand were left with many points in their accounts. Points that have lost almost all of their value. At this time, there are also those who have not surrendered to events and are seeking justice in the courts through a class action.
Despite everything, however, the program is still operational and allows members to accumulate points and/or redeem points for prizes, Paradoxically, even booking award tickets with Air France and other companies, operation not yet feasible today with ITA Airways' Volare points.
The collection expired on January 31, and now members have until June 30 to accumulate a small handful of points by the end of June to renew the balance and avoid losing points while waiting to understand if, and how, Millemiglia points will have a second life.
Obviously we advise against continuing to accumulate points on this program, but never say never and therefore always better to avoid losing points if there are chances to save them without wasting money.
In a hypothetical world, Lufthansa buying ITA Airways and resurrects the Alitalia brand could spend a few million euros and also grab the Millemiglia program, which ITA could not do when it rose from the ashes of the old airline.
As such, all users can renew the validity of the points on their account by simply accumulating new points and trigger the loyalty bonus equal to the value of the points held.
Getting the Loyalty Bonus is very simple. TBetween January 1 and June 30, 2023 just accumulate with MilleMiglia Partners at least:
- 2,000 miles, To reconfirm the 100% of the remaining mileage balance, sAnd less than or equal to 60,000 miles
- 3,000 miles, To reconfirm the 100% of the remaining mileage balance, sand greater than 60,000 miles
