The Frequent Flyer Bonuses website shares a tidbit about a new bonus for the Royal Air Maroc Safar Flyer frequent flyer program.
If you create a Family Account between now and September 30th, you’ll receive 5000 bonus miles. A Safar Family account is similar to the British Airways Household account, where multiple people can have their own frequent flyer accounts but pool each of their miles into a household account.

To sign up for the Safar Family account, visit this page, fill out the form, scan it and send it in. I assume if you’re not already a Safar member, you’ll have to sign up for that first.
What will 5000 Royal Air Maroc miles get you?
5000 Royal Air Maroc miles IS enough for a one-way ticket within Morocco.
And while that may not be super useful, you never know when you might be planning on going to Morocco :-). They are also partners with Iberia and Etihad, and it’s using Etihad miles that you can get a pretty sweet deal on flying from New York to Casablanca (22,000 miles in economy or 44,000 miles in business)
There are also rumors that Royal Air Maroc is in talks to join the Star Alliance, though at this point that is just speculation.
Avios – the real advantage
The real advantage to this deal is that Royal Air Maroc has signed an agreement to start using Avios, the currency used by British Airways, Iberia (and soon to be Aer Lingus). So those 5000 Safar miles should soon be 5000 Avios, which would theoretically be able to be transferred to British Airways or Iberia Avios (similar to how you can now transfer British Airways Avios to Iberia Avios and vice versa). And even though you can no longer get 4500 Avios flights in North America, you can in other parts of the world, or use them for other short flights.

You cannot use Combine My Avios with Flybe or Meridiana so no certainty that RAM will let you do it either. No harm in taking a punt of course.
Cool – thanks for letting us know!
It says right on the website:
” Send a scanned copy of the filled out form to safarfamily@royalairmaroc.com as well as the supporting documentation (copie of ID: passport or national identity card of each member).”
In other words, you will have to scan in your family’s passport page or (maybe driver’s license) to get your 5000 miles.
No thanks.
Yup, while I do like Morocco the country, the culture, and yearn to get there soon, that requirement to send in copy of passport a bit of a red-flag, especially as Morocco ….. sigh…. well, let’s put it this way, remains all too close to the Saudi Wahhabis and joined them in being the antithesis of the Arab Spring of 2011….. (I know, few ‘merkins have a clue, esp. about Yemen, Bahrain, etc. )
Yet can anyone with comparative experience put this ID policy in perspective? Is this common with any other membership programs of other international carriers? And are we being overly sensitive on this requirement? After all, when we check in, we have to show passports then anyway? (which then no doubt get circulated into every airline’s data bases? ) Shudder yes, but such are the times?
I tried to sign up on the website and noticed two problems immediately. First, there are only enough spaces for a 9 digit US phone number. Does anybody in the US have a 9 digit phone number? I didn’t think so. Also, The dropdown for the state of residence doesn’t populate so you can’t put your state in. I hope the people of service the aircraft are more attentive to detail. It doesn’t inspire a great deal of confidence.
