Regional Express Private Limited, famously known as Rex Airlines or Rex is an Australian airline that initiates regional and domestic services. Alongside Qantas, Rex is Australia’s biggest regional airline, and it serves all major states of Australia. Rex’s current flights operating destinations include Gold Coast, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, and Melbourne. Currently, Rex doesn’t offer a frequent flyer program to its customers. The airline is planning on re-introducing its previous loyalty program, known as the Rex Flyer Rewards program, in the upcoming month of 2022. The airlines will also refresh and reinstate its present Rex Business Flyer program which is primarily focused on businesses. In this article, we will discuss the Rex Flyer Rewards program (airlines’ previous loyalty program), the Rex Business Flyer program (airlines’ ongoing loyalty program), and how one can enroll themselves in the Rex Business Flyer program.
Rex Flyer Program
Rex airlines previously offered its customers a loyalty program called the Rex Flyer Program. The program had a very simple offer: after successfully traveling nine paid flights, customers will be rewarded with a free flight under this loyalty program.
The loyalty program was a success for Rex’s regional routes, but the airlines were not entirely contempt of the program. Thus, the program was revoked and is set to be re-introduced this year.
Even though there is no perfect clarity of what the new version of the Rex Flyer program will include, it is speculated that the new version will steer in the direction of a points-based mechanism. Travelers will earn Rex Points following the type of ticket they wish to buy. There is also a possibility that this version of the Rex Flyer program will include some form of status credit which would deliver specialized perks to airlines’ loyal travelers.
Rex Business Flyer Program
The Rex Business Flyer Program is a unique and straightforward program to assist businesses to manage and save their finances during their travel. This program offers businesses that fly Rex reward flights (free of any form of tax or charge) for every 18 eligible flight sectors flown. These reward flights are redeemable on the Rex network.
Businesses who enable this loyalty program are spared from the tedious task of establishing individual memberships since one frequent flyer number covers the entire traveling business staff.
Under this loyalty, business staff members will enjoy the following perks:
-One Business Flyer number is allocated for the entire business staff (as mentioned above).
-Businesses earn points on every Rex flight that they booked and flew, the only exception being the flights that were booked using Promo and Community fares.
-Businesses will acquire two reward flights for every 18 flights flown (as mentioned above).
