Esfera
Esfera is Santander's points coalition. Like Livelo, it isn't a miles program: you accumulate points (closely tied to Santander cards and accounts) and transfer them to airline programs, using bonuses to multiply your miles.
How to accumulate, transfer and redeem well on Esfera — step by step, tiers, partners and FAQ.
How it works
You earn Esfera points mainly with Santander cards and purchases at Shopping Esfera, and you can subscribe to Clube Esfera for monthly points and better ratios. Its strength is transferring to airline programs — domestic and international — especially during bonus campaigns.
How to accumulate
- With Santander credit cards (earning varies by card).
- At Shopping Esfera, buying from partner stores.
- Subscribing to Clube Esfera, with monthly points and better transfer ratios.
- Buying points on promotions (assess it with the Miles Purchase Simulator).
How to redeem
- Transferring to domestic programs: LATAM Pass, Smiles and Azul Fidelidade (usually at 1:1).
- Transferring to international ones: TAP Miles&Go, Flying Blue, Iberia Plus, Turkish Miles&Smiles, Etihad Guest, ConnectMiles (Copa) and Aeroméxico Rewards.
- Taking advantage of transfer bonuses, which greatly increase the final value.
- Ratios vary by partner (from 1:1 to higher) — always check before transferring.
