Jetstar has released its revamped membership programme, Club Jetstar, which was launched in Singapore in 2014.

These are a few of the strategies the company adopted to promote Club Jetstar.“Club Jetstar is the only programme offered by a low-cost carrier in Asia which gives members unbeatable lobangs (bargains), and we are very excited to launch this privilege in Singapore, where savvy customers will be sure to sign up in a heartbeat and save when they fly with Jetstar, whether they’re travelling in Asia, Australia or Japan,” Chantal van Wijnbergen, regional marketing manager, SEA, said.The new Club Jetstar costs SG$48 to join, with an annual membership fee of SG$49, which is waived for the first year. According to Jetstar, members will be able to enjoy benefits such as, exclusive member-only fares on selected flights across the Jetstar network, 20% discount on baggage and seat selection, on all flights, early access to the biggest sale events and partner offers. Furthermore, the company added that the deals can be shared with up to four friends and family members, as long as they are included in the same booking, and travelling with the Club Jetstar member.This is not the first time Jetstar banks on Singlish as part of its campaigns. Last year, in celebration of the nation’s  51st National Day celebrations, Jetstar introduced Singlish announcements on 9 August 2016.
