II. Tier Bonus points for Premier and Premier Plus Members
Starting 1 March 2020, Premier members and Premier Plus members will receive special "Tier Bonus" points when flying eligible Bangkok Airways flights. Tier Bonus points are the number of pre-calculated base points earned from eligible Bangkok Airways flights. The member's tier rate, based on their membership status on the day of activity, is also factored in. The tier rate for Premier members and Premier Plus members is 10% and 15% respectively of the base points earned. Tier Bonus points do not count towards tier up-grading.
