Bluebiz: What is it?

Virgin Atlantic announced the end of Flying Co., their corporate travel rewards program. However, this doesn’t mean that they have abandoned their corporate travellers.

Virgin Atlantic instead partnered with Air France and KLM on Bluebiz. Bluebiz is a loyalty program that caters to both employees and businesses.

You only need to complete a few online forms to be eligible for free membership. You’ll earn reward points for business owners who travel with their employees.

Bluebiz: How does it work?

Bluebiz will reward you with “Blue Credits” points after joining the program. When booking a flight with Virgin Atlantic or another Bluebiz partner, you need to mention your Bluebiz number to receive your rewards.

You can ask your travel agent for your Bluebiz number to be added to your company profile. You’ll be able to earn credits by including your Bluebiz number in your company profile.

The frequency of your travels and the type of flight you take will determine how many Blue Credits you earn. Each Blue Credit is equivalent to approximately $1 in currency (300 Blue Credits = 300 USD/GBP/EUR), which can be used for future flights.

Once you have completed your trip, your Blue Credits will be available and automatically applied to your account. They will be available for two years after that.

Bluebiz Benefits

Bluebiz is an excellent option for corporate travellers. Virgin Atlantic and its partners can also collect Blue Credits. KLM, Air France and Delta Airlines are some of the partners.

Blue Credits are roughly the same currency as USD, so it will be easy to determine how many Blue Credits you’ll need to fly for free. Bluebiz has a guide that will help you calculate the cost of your trip using Blue Credits. If a flight costs $900, you will need 900 Blue Credits to fly that flight free of charge.
