Bonus system

For all of you who travel frequently with Ybuss, there is the opportunity to collect points that can be used when paying for new trips. Only a person who has reached the age of 15 may become a member of the bonus program. Membership is free and personal.

By registering on My Account and then Logging in to ybuss.se when you book, you collect points on both travel and the additional service Extra luggage. Tickets purchased without being logged in to your member account are not possible to re-register. Earned points are automatically converted to a credit balance. This happens every calendar month (the 1st of every month) based on what was purchased/travelled for during the month before.

You get 1 point for every 10 krona (SEK) you pay. The points are collected each month into a voucher, which can then be used as payment for the next purchase or used for a later purchase. 1 point in the voucher is worth 1 krona (SEK).

The voucher is valid for 360 days. To receive the value, the booking must be made before the validity period has expired.

Points and balances are personal and cannot be transferred to another member. However, a member can choose to buy a ticket to another who wants to travel and thus collect bonuses. Points have no economic value per se, but generate a balance according to the formula above. Points can not be converted to a balance manually, but are only made by automatic reconciliation. Earned balance is not paid in the form of cash.

A trip purchased with a credit takes place under the same conditions as an ordinary trip, for example, regarding travel time guarantee.
