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.

V. Plastic FlyerBonus Membership Card Discontinuance
FlyerBonus is currently phasing out its distribution of plastic FlyerBonus Membership Cards and moving to the digital FlyerBonus Wallet Card. These cards are considered more travel-friendly and convenient when it comes to flight check-in, lounge access and utilising partner properties and services. More importantly, this effort will contribute to waste reduction and keeping the environment green. FlyerBonus members are encouraged to download their FlyerBonus Wallet Card by logging-in to their FlyerBonus account and simply saving/downloading the FlyerBonus Wallet Card. For a step-by-step guide, visit https://flyerbonus.bangkokair.com/walletcard/
*Qualifying Points: Base Points accumulated from flight activities are considered qualifying points and count towards membership level status. Points from partners and bonus points are not qualifying points.
**Qualifying sectors: The qualifying sectors not applicable for flight activity on code share flight, award tickets, complimentary tickets, staff tickets and tickets under the classes of R, P, A, O, S, X, and Z.
