Many of us reading this post should be already a member of many Frequent Flyer Programs. I would like to open a platform to understand which program is most common amongst readers of this blog. Also, please share your experience with your favourite program.
There are many ways with which you can earn some easy Kingfisher miles. Some of the ways for which you need not pay even a penny are mentioned here.
1. Kingfisher gives 250 miles for opening a new account. (Ongoing as of Feb 2012)
2. Kingfisher was giving approx 500 miles for posting reviews of 3 hotels in tripadvisor if those reviews were published. That was a very easy way in which you could have earned 400 miles in just 30 minutes. (Expired)
3. You can earn 500 miles just for updating your profile. That means, open a new account, earn 250 miles, then update your profile and get additional 500 miles.
4. By simply booking a ticket on FlyKingfisher.com, you can earn 500 bonus King Miles. Bonus miles will be credited only on successful completion of travel and upon quoting the King Club Membership number (FFP).
5. Earn 250 bonus King miles every time you do a we Check in.
6. You (and me) both can earn some extra miles if you put my referrer account number while joining KingClub. While filling the online form for joining, in the end at bottom, it will ask if you are referred by someone. You can put my Kingclub account number , 55874593, and we both can be benefited as follows.
Six months after the new referred member’s enrolment, the new member’s flight activity will be reviewed. As long as the new member has attained the required Sector Points, both of us will be rewarded handsomely, as the following chart shows.

Air India has Flying return frequent flyer prgram which started in September 2009. This program entitles you to earn miles when you travel on Air India flights, you basically earn miles, and number of miles earned depends on the sector and the type of ticket you pruchased for that flight. You can then accumulate these points and redeem them for a free flight ticket at Air India. This program with Air India is called Flying Returns.
The introduction of this program from the official website as of today is as follows:
As a member, you can earn mileage points when you fly Air India on eligible fare paying tickets, and redeem them for award travel faster than most programmes. On higher fares, such as full fare economy, and on Business/First Class, you earn bonus miles, and clock mileage points faster.
You can even earn and redeem mileage points on airline partners, and earn miles on selected non airline partners.
