Each Member can withdraw from the Program at any time and without incurring any cost, using the appropriate section of the site www.ita-airways.com or via the "ITA Airways" app. The deletion of the profile will take effect immediately and also, therefore, the member's personal data will be deleted and the Points still present in their Points portfolio will be deleted.

PHASE I

Members who join the Program by 15 November 2021 will be entitled to a welcome bonus of 10,000 Points ("Welcome Bonus") to be used within the Program once the usage features are active (Phase II). In particular, the welcome bonus will be credited to the Member's Points balance by 28 February 2022 provided that the Member purchased a return flight or two one-way flights to be made by 31 December 2021. These Points can be used starting from 1 March 2022 (see Phase II, paragraph b); these Points will also be counted for the purpose of calculating the thresholds for access to the Exclusive Clubs referred to in Article 7 below.                           

PHASE II

No later than 28 February 2022, the Member will receive the Volare Code corresponding to his/her “Volare” account. Using the Volare Code in his/her reserved area, the Member can:

• access his/her Points portfolio;
• receive, as soon as technically possible the Points accrued as a result of each flight made by the Member and each purchase that gives the right to accumulate Points (see Phase II, paragraph a);
• receive the credit of the Points accrued for ITA Airways flights carried out from 15 October 2021 to 28 February 2021 (previously only tracked in the Member's personal area).

a)     Accumulation of Points

Each Member will have access to a personal account on which the Points to which they are entitled will be accumulated and credited. Points will be credited automatically in each of the circumstances listed below, it being understood that it remains the responsibility of the Member to provide their Volare Code at the time of purchase of the goods/services promoted by ITA Airways:

flights at the same time sold and operated by ITA Airways, actually purchased by, or on behalf of, the Member, and carried out by the same subject, without prejudice, as soon as technically possible, to the recognition of Points also for flights sold and/or operated by partner carriers of ITA Airways, communicated by ITA Airways from time to time through the appropriate section of the website www.ita-airways.com or through the “ITA Airways” app.                          

• It is understood that flights purchased but not performed (even after cancellation and without prejudice to the application of the policy of ITA Airways regarding the possible recognition of the related refunds) do not give the right to accumulate Points; all flights for which check-in is completed by a Member (i.e. a person currently enrolled in the Program) will be entitled to accumulate Points, even if they were purchased before enrolling in the Program;
• purchase and use of goods and/or services provided by ITA Airways (boutique on board), as soon as technically available;
• purchase of ancillary services available for a fee on ITA Airways flights; the Points that will be recognized for the purchase of these ancillary services will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the thresholds for access to the exclusive Clubs referred to in the following article 7 and the multipliers provided for in relation to membership of these Clubs will not apply Exclusive;   
• additional methods of earning Points communicated from time to time by ITA Airways and the Co-Promoter.

The amount of points accumulated is calculated on the basis of the customer's expense (revenue-based model), net of the amounts related to taxes and other possible charges (including VAT), starting from the model 1 euro = 10 points (with possible increases linked to the membership of the Member in one of the Exclusive Clubs referred to in the following Article 7 and the type of air ticket purchased, as per Annex A).                          

The accrual of Points by virtue of the purchase of airline tickets may also take place based on the type of purchase made (class, destination, etc.), with the possibility of receiving bonus points in a manner that will be communicated by ITA Airways from time to time.                          

Points can also be accumulated by virtue of the purchase of ancillary services from ITA Airways, possibly with the possibility of receiving bonus points, according to methods that will be communicated by ITA Airways from time to time through the appropriate section of the website www.ita-airways.com or through the “ITA Airways” app.                          

 

It is also specified that, except for promotions for limited periods, which will be communicated from time to time through the appropriate section of the website www.ita-airways.com or through the "ITA Airways" app, they will not give the right to accumulate Points the following types of tickets: (i) tickets subject to special favorable conditions (e.g. tickets for employees, humanitarian flights, flights organized by national authorities), (ii) tickets booked with group fares, subject to the application of more favorable conditions identified on the basis of ticket requirements, (iii) tickets purchased with use e-coupons (discount vouchers) for the portion of the ticket value paid through the use of the coupon.

Special ways of earning Points, subject to updates

Members who in the period between March 1st and March 31st 2022 (subject to possible extensions) have purchased a flight, to be carried out in the period between 1 March and 31 August 2022, will be able to benefit from the "Double Points ”, which will allow Members to earn double the Points that would have been ordinarily awarded. The additional points that will be recognized as part of this initiative will also be counted for the purpose of calculating the thresholds for access to the Exclusive Clubs referred to in Article 7 below. These Points will be credited by 30 September 2022, provided that the Member has flown the flights purchased by the aforementioned date of 31 August 2022.                          

Similar initiatives that provide for the special allocation of Points, including any welcome bonuses, may be periodically proposed at the discretion of the Promoter and the Co-Promoter, under the conditions that will be appropriately disclosed through the appropriate section of the website www.ita-airways .com or through the “ITA Airways” app.

b)     Use of Points

Starting from 1 March 2022, Members will have the opportunity to use the Points accrued according to the criteria indicated in paragraph a) to request the following Awards:

• purchase of ITA Airways air tickets (the indicative values are shown in Annex A);
• purchase of ITA Airways extra services (at the time of booking and at check-in, as soon as they are technically available).
• purchase of ITA Airways discount coupons, as soon as they are technically available.

The Points will be used through a dedicated section of the site www.ita-airways.com, through the ITA Airways application and other methods communicated from time to time to the Member, as well as according to the methods defined and communicated from time to time by ITA Airways and the Co-Promotor.

It is understood that taxes and any other applicable charges (including VAT) cannot be paid with the use of the Points.

Points will be converted into different currencies according to the IATA exchange rate, which is subject to monthly updates. The minimum of Points that can be used by the Member is equal to 200 Points or the different amount resulting from the aforementioned conversion operations in currencies other than the euro. In the event that the Member's Points balance is not sufficient to cover the full price of the good/service he/she intends to purchase, the price of the good/service will in any case be reduced by the amount of the Points available. Upon completion of the transaction involving the use of the Points accumulated for the purpose of purchasing goods and/or services offered by ITA Airways, the Member will have visibility of the Points used in the summary of the payment, on the statement of account and in their Points portfolio.

For the reimbursement of goods/services purchased with the use of Points, the reimbursement policies of ITA Airways will apply and, where the relevant conditions are met, the reimbursement will be recognized using the same means of payment as the original purchase (Points, money or a set of Points and money, it being understood that airport taxes will always be refunded in cash). If the refund is made, in whole or in part, by crediting the Points, the Member will see, as soon as technically possible, the update of the Points available in their Points portfolio.

It is understood that the Points and/or Awards that will be awarded to Members will not give any right to request their conversion into cash. The Member will not be able to accumulate additional Points as a result of the award and use of a Award that was obtained, in its entirety or in part, by using the accumulated Points, unless otherwise specified and communicated to Members by ITA Airways and the Co-Promoter.
