Terms and Conditions – TAP Miles&Go Programme

The TAP Miles&Go Programme property of Transportes Aéreos Portugueses, S.A. (hereinafter "TAP Air Portugal") is a loyalty programme for TAP Air Portugal passengers. Members of the programme are credited with miles based on the flights they make with TAP Air Portugal or on how much use they make of the products and services offered by the programme's partners. The miles are credited in accordance with predefined rates and terms and conditions, and with the limitations presented here below.

Clients can earn TAP Miles&Go Miles, which can be used subsequently on a vast range of services, awards and benefits, which are subject to these terms and conditions.

TAP Miles&Go is the TAP Miles&Go Programme's entry level, followed by TAP Miles&Go Silver and TAP Miles&Go Gold, respectively.

To be eligible for and to maintain TAP Miles&Go Silver status, TAP Miles&Go Clients must earn 30,000 Status Miles or, alternatively, make 25 TAP flights/segments during the Status Miles annual accounting period. It is required 20,000 Status Miles or to have flown 15 TAP flights/segments to remain a Silver Client, during the Status Miles annual accounting period. In order to be eligible for or maintain Gold status, clients need to collect 70,000 Status Miles or 50 TAP-operated flights/segments in one Status Miles year. Gold, Gold Corporate and/or campaign partners renew their tier by meeting all the criteria described under "Become a Gold Client" (70,000 Status Miles or 50 segments on TAP flights).

The annual miles earning period is the period of time the client can be eligible for promotion to a higher client status or reaffirming his/her eligibility for the current status. This period is related to the client's date of accession of the program. Silver Clients flying TAP will earn 25% Status Miles based on total miles flown, in addition to their 25% Bonus Miles.

Gold Clients will earn 50% Status Miles based on total miles flown, in addition to their 50% Bonus Miles.

For Gold clients who renew their status, the miles that were due to expire at the end of their Annual Accumulation Period, will be extended for another 12 months. This extension occurs on the miles' expiration date for each client. This benefit does not apply to Gold partners.
Example: A Gold client whose PMY is ending on September 30, has 20,000 miles expiring on September 30, 2020. On October 1, its status is renewed; on October 1, the 20,000 miles will be credited back on the account.

TAP Miles&Go Silver and TAP Miles&Go Gold membership is automatic as soon as the required number of miles has been earned.

Clients’ miles statement indicates the number of Status Miles earned.

Only Status Miles count towards TAP Miles&Go Silver and TAP Miles&Go Gold membership.

The accumulation of miles or segments is not allowed on Award Tickets, Miles Only tickets, Miles & Cash tickets or ticket categories ID, AD, BP, DG, DM, GE, IN, RG or UD (industry discount tickets) as defined by IATA standards.

Benefits available on all TAP and TAP Express-operated flights:

• 350 miles (Top Executive).

Miles cannot be earned on charter flights. Miles can be earned on code-share flights with a TP number (if operated by a TAP Miles&Go Programme partner airline).

Miles cannot be earned on bus, train or sea travel.

The accumulation of miles or segments is not allowed on Award Tickets, Miles Only tickets, Miles & Cash tickets or ticket categories ID, AD, BP, DG, DM, GE, IN, RG or UD (industry discount tickets) as defined by IATA standards.

Bonus Miles are only earned on TAP’s partner airlines.

Status Miles can only be accumulated on TAP flights and airlines affiliated to Star Alliance.

Bonus Miles can be redeemed for awards, but only Status Miles will be considered for TAP Miles&Go Silver or TAP Miles&Go Gold status purposes.

Miles are credited in accordance with the rules of the airline operating the flight.

Miles for use of services from selected TAP Miles&Go Programme partners are only credited on the booking, payment and usage terms set out by TAP Miles&Go Programme partners.

No miles are earned if a TAP Miles&Go Programme client obtains benefits from another loyalty programme for the service.

Miles credit is not available for clients that have a MilesOnly or Miles&Cash ticket and upgrade it at the airport.

The booking class shown on the ticket may not be the same as that class used to count miles at partner and Star Alliance airlines.

Tickets issued and reissued by tap|discount, as of September 15, no longer allow the accumulation of miles.

All Clients will have their own personal TAP Miles&Go mileage account to which the miles they earn or spend will be credited or debited.

As soon as they join, programme Clients will earn TAP Miles&Go for each flight on TAP or a partner airline or use of a service provided by TAP Miles&Go Programme partners, subject to these General Terms and Conditions. Miles must be claimed within six months of the date the service was provided.

However, if you have carried out any activities up to 6 months before the request date, you can claim miles by accessing your personal area on your online account. Only Bonus Miles will be granted if the activities were carried out before the enrolment date, and will not be taken into account for status upgrades/upkeep.

Clients have to wait for 8 days after flights made in the Star Alliance to claim miles for these flights.

To ensure the correct number of miles have been credited to the personal TAP Miles&Go account, the Client must provide their TAP Miles&Go number when making the booking.

It is important for the name in the booking to be the same as that in the Client’s TAP Miles&Go Account (first and last name), so that miles can be credited automatically.

It is the responsibility of the passenger to ensure that the name on the booking matches the name on the Miles&Go Account so that the benefits can be recognized automatically. Any differences in the name may make it impossible to assign or enjoy some benefits.

TAP decides on the type and number of miles to be credited by each programme partner and for each service provided to the Client. The type and number of miles to be credited are subject to change without notice.

The miles credited to the TAP Miles&Go Client's personal account are calculated as follows:

• Only on flights in TAP network and selected flights operated by TAP Miles&Go Programme partner airlines.
• The number of miles is calculated on the basis of the flight’s departure and arrival airports and the fare (brand) purchased. The distances shall be based on the points of departure and arrival indicated on the passenger's ticket and IATA standards.
• TAP Miles&Go are awarded for First, Executive and Economy Class travel. Silver and Gold Clients travelling on TAP will earn extra miles according to their tier level (TAP Miles&Go status). TAP does not have First Class. Some TAP Miles&Go partner airlines do operate this service, however.

Collection of miles for certain fares, products, flights or routes may be subject to restrictions.

The partner company may, at its initiative, exclude any fare or route used for major discounts.

Different booking classes and bonus factors may apply to Star Alliance airlines and other TAP Miles&Go Programme partner airlines.

TAP Miles&Go are valid for three (3) years from date of collection, except when otherwise specified. Some Bonus Miles (such as compensation miles and some promotions) may only be valid for one annual accrual period.

The validity of the miles is in accordance with the date of the activity for which they were awarded.

Before expiry, the validity of miles can be renewed for a fee paid by credit card. Renewed miles are considered Bonus Miles and are valid for another three (3) years.

For all clients with miles that expire on the last day of the previous month, the expiration of those miles is processed in the early hours on the first day of each month (Mainland Portugal time). Example: If the expiry date is May 31, the miles will expire in the early hours of June 01. This process is not immediate; therefore, in the early morning of the first day of each month, the miles balance of an account with an ongoing expiration process may not reflect the updated balance for a few hours, showing the miles that are about to expire.  Client accounts whose miles are about to expire will show the correct miles balance from 7 AM (Mainland Portugal time) on the first day of each month. 

Current offers of awards and benefits are available online, in mailings or from the TAP Miles&Go Client Service Centre. 

TAP reserves the right to change, supplement or cancel individual awards and benefits offered by TAP Miles&Go Programme.

TAP Miles&Go Programme partner airlines and the TAP Miles&Go Programme partners may set out advance terms and conditions for bookings or for requesting awards or benefits. These advance terms and conditions may vary for each benefit or award.

When booking or requesting an award or benefit with/from a TAP Miles&Go partner airline or a TAP Miles&Go Programme partner, clients are not entering into an agreement with TAP and TAP shall not be liable for proper provision of any services, fitness for any purpose or the quality of goods supplied as awards and/or benefits.

TAP accepts no liability for any taxes or other charges or disadvantages to which TAP Miles&Go Programme clients may be subject in connection with the use of TAP Miles&Go or TAP Miles&Go awards and benefits.

All charges (airport, carrier surcharge, security or others) and credit card fees will be borne exclusively by the TAP Miles&Go Client.

When booking or requesting an award or benefit, clients must state in advance that they are booking an award or a benefit.

TAP and TAP Miles&Go partner airlines or TAP Miles&Go Programme partners may refuse to grant an award or benefit if the client has already booked a flight or service without clearly stating that the booking is for a TAP Miles&Go award or benefit.

Any award documents obtained illegally or in violation of these Terms and Conditions will not be honoured.

Seat availability for MilesOnly and Miles&Cash Tickets varies according to destination and date. The number of seats is limited even on flights that are not yet fully booked. Restrictions may apply during certain periods and for certain award types.

All personal documentation submitted for travel is the client’s responsibility (ID, passport, visa or others).

Award flights expire within one (1) year of issue with the exception of those issued as part of a promotion, in which case they are only valid for the duration of the promotion. As for other benefits, they will remain in effect on the basis of their terms of validity, as specified in the document issued by the TAP Miles&Go Programme partner in question.

Awards and benefits issued cannot be transferred, replaced, renewed, changed or refunded, except when explicitly stated to the contrary in the individual booking arrangement or Terms and Conditions of TAP, the partner airline or TAP Miles&Go Programme partner as the case may be. Whenever an award or benefit is replaced, renewed or otherwise changed, the client may have to pay a handling fee.

An additional fee will be charged for the handling of MilesOnly and Miles&Cash Tickets after a no-show.

Awards and benefits can be issued to a third party. This issue is only valid if the client receives no monetary compensation for the exchange.

MilesOnly and Miles&Cash Tickets and upgrades may be issued in the name of a person other than the TAP Miles&Go account holder against written authorisation from the account holder. Clients with Gold or Navigator status are exempt from this sending.

After awards and benefits have been issued, it is not possible to change booking classes or routes. Only the date of travel or flight number (time) can be changed after awards and benefits have been issued.

Under the agreement between the Miles&Go Program and our Air Partners, certain cabins/classes of some partners are not available for booking rewards.

TAP Miles&Go Clients have access to additional status-dependent benefits when travelling with TAP Air Portugal. Flight benefits are understood to be related to the travel experience, such as:

• Seat reservation;
• Priority check-in;
• Priority boarding;
• Extra luggage;
• Fast Track;
• Lounge access;
• Last Minute Upgrade.

These benefits differ depending on flight destination and may be changed by TAP Air Portugal without prior notice.

Gold Clients have the additional advantage of being able to choose a partner to share their status. However, customers who have achieved Gold Status as part of promotional campaigns or activities may be subject to specific conditions, including restrictions on benefits normally provided. Detailed information can be found in the Terms and Conditions of the campaigns in question. The partner they choose has to be a TAP Miles&Go Client with a TAP Miles&Go or Silver status.

Once the person is nominated, they will enjoy most of the exclusive benefits of the Gold Client who nominated them.

The Client named as a Gold Partner cannot appoint another Gold Client. Their Bonus Miles are not automatically extended and expire at the end of their validity period. They will not be able to claim the Year Off benefit.

The validity of his/her TAP Miles&Go Card is the same as that of the Gold Card of the client who chose him/her.
