Yes. You do not pay anything for your membership in the OK Plus programme. It is a loyalty programme, to which anyone who complies with the given rules may become a member.
Is it possible that my unused miles will expire after some time?
Yes. Each mile in the programme is valid for 36 months (from 1June 2014). Should a mile not be redeemed during this period, it expires and can no longer be used. Should no OK-coded and OK-operated flight be noted in your account within the previous 36 months, all miles (irrespective of the date of their crediting) automatically expire and can no longer be used.
There are the following exceptions to both of these conditions:
Validity of miles of OK Plus Silver, Gold and Platinum Card holders lasts for the entire validity of their Silver, Gold or Platinum Card.
Validity of miles of holders of selected CSA co-branded payment cards is extended by each month in which holders earn the stated number of miles for payments with such cards. This exception is subject to the additional condition specified on the OK Plus website in the Payment cards section.
Crediting of Miles
What is the difference between the “Actual Balance” and “Card Eligibility”?
The Actual balance of your account includes miles for flights with Czech Airlines and all of the programme’s airline partners as well as promo and elite bonuses and miles for using the services of non-airline partners. The card eligibility amount (SkyTeam miles) only includes miles for flights with Czech Airlines and partners from the SkyTeam Alliance. The required card eligibility threshold must be “flown” over the course of a calendar year.
What is the difference between “Miles” and “SkyTeam Miles”?
You earn miles for flights with Czech Airlines, with our partners from the SkyTeam Alliance, and for flights with other airlines, as well as for using the services of all other OK Plus partners. Miles serve for redeeming rewards. You get SkyTeam Miles only for flights with Czech Airlines and its partners from the SkyTeam Alliance. These miles make you eligible for obtaining a higher-level card. For you to receive a higher-level card, the relevant number of miles must be collected during one calendar year.
How do I ascertain the current balance of my account?
All OK Plus members are informed about the miles credited and about the mileage balance through an Account Statement. An electronic Account Statement is sent free of charge to the e-mail address provided by the member. Account Statement is sent for each month to those members, who have noticed any activity on their account for given month. All other members, who have ever activate their accounts by first activity, receive a statement each quarter.
How should I proceed when miles have not been credited to my account?
Uncredited miles have to be claimed no later than 12 months of the date of the flight, or using a partner services. In case you claim uncredited miles for Czech Airlines flights, use a simple on-line form right in your OK Plus profile at www.ok-plus.com in My account / Claim missing miles section. In all other cases, please send us the documents of the flights flown (copies of tickets and original boarding passes), or receipts, and other documents confirming your use of the services of non-airline partners.
Is it possible that my miles were not credited, even though my membership number had been entered properly?
Yes. In spite of all our efforts, sometimes your miles are not credited due to a system error. In such cases, just claim your miles. But it may not be a mistake in all cases. Some flights are excluded from mileage accrual. Mainly:
Flights purchased in the cheapest booking classes.
Flights operated by an airline that is not an OK Plus Programme partner.
Flights purchased under the carrier code of an airline that is not an OK Plus Programme partner.
