VorZUG (pronounced phonetically "fortsoug") is a play on words for anyone wondering about such a name: it means both "to put the train in front" and "to give preference". In any case, the new programme of the Austrian Federal Railways aims to promote rail travel. Customers who join the ÖBB loyalty programme can start collecting points immediately.

VorZUG (pronounced phonetically "fortsoug") is a play on words for anyone wondering about such a name: it means both "to put the train in front" and "to give preference". In any case, the new programme of the Austrian Federal Railways aims to promote rail travel. Customers who join the ÖBB loyalty programme can start collecting points immediately.
For every euro spent, customers receive one VorZUG point. on your ÖBB account for almost all tickets, whether standard, network or season tickets. The programme also applies to Nightjet night trains. Reservations, upgrades, lounge access and insurance are also rewarded.
Once you have accumulated 100 VorZUG pointsparticipants can claim a first award. This could be a free seat reservation, a hot drink in the on-board restaurant, a €5 ÖBB voucher for one journey or a €10 "wegfinder" voucher. The latter is a solution offered to business travellers for post-transportation by private transport (taxi, electric scooter, for example).
From 800 VorZUG points accumulated over the yearThe programme gives access to Goldschiene" frequent flyer status. Beneficiaries then enjoy additional benefits such as free access to the lounge (4 times a year), a 1st class birthday upgrade and access to privileged competitions.
Unfortunately, for the time being, VorZUG does not offer a free ticket bonus in exchange for points. This is the opposite of the SNCF or DB loyalty programmes! The free programme can be activated online at the application of ÖBB.
