Rules of Play
Travel flow and game dynamics for Samsonite Travel Miles (subject to what is set forth in the Terms and Conditions of Use).
A. General
When leaving on a trip, the user of the Samsonite Travel Miles app can, through the “Travel Procedure” (See Point B.) do the following:
- Track the distance of his or her trip in miles
- Save these miles (“Samsonite Travel Miles”)
Saving miles gives access to gifts (*) only in the United States. For the meaning of the term "gifts (*) " as used here and in other materials related to this app, please refer to Point F. below.
There are three reasons to track your travel mileage:
- To create a log of your travel activities. For this, the app contains a Travel Miles Log and a map of the world showing all travels. (See Point E.)
- To earn badges as defined by specific travel activities:
- “Around the world” (reach 24,900 miles)
- “Pirate” (travel by boat 3 times)
- ”Puddle Jumper” (make 3 short flights between 50 and 500 miles)
- “Globetrotter” (travel to 4 continents)
- “Palm Tree” (travel somewhere tropical)
- “Far East Movement” (travel to China)
- “Rookie” (travel once with the Samsonite Travel Miles Application)
- “Jetlagger” (cross at least 1 time zone)
- ”Across the Pond” (travel to Europe)
- To earn gifts with purchase (*) (See Point F.).
Gifts (*)s are earned when milestones are reached:

B. Travel procedure
- User clicks “I’m leaving on a trip”
- App shows current location and the miles counter is initiated
- User clicks “I have arrived - collect”
- App shows number of miles collected and current location
- If badge is earned – badge is shown in congrats-screen (If NOT, skip to 8.)
- If gift (*) is unlocked – gift (*) is shown in congrats-screen (If NOT, skip to 8.)
- App is updated accordingly (travel miles log, world map, gifts (*) and badges)
- User is redirected to Home
Note:
- When a trip of < 1 miles is registered, the app shows a pop-up: “You need to travel at least 1 mile for a valid trip”.
- When the trip exceeds 12,450 miles, the user is deemed cheating (this is the furthest distance you can get on the planet). The app shows a pop-up that says: “This is not a valid distance, no miles will be registered.”
- When the app is disrupted during the miles count, the user loses the count. The Home screen is shown upon restarting the app.
- An “exit app” button allows the user to exit the app during the miles count. This has the same result as pushing the iPhone home button, but it also triggers a pop-up: “When you re-open the app, the miles counter will still be active. - OK”. The iPhone home button does not trigger this pop-up.
- All the screens in the travel procedure are mandatory and have to be confirmed through the OK or NEXT buttons by the users. Only in the first screen can the flow be cancelled through the back-button.
C. Earning miles through Social Sharing
The Travel Miles app allows for social sharing:
- In the Travel Miles Map screen
- In the “Collect – If earned badge” screen
Both sharing options allow the user to earn extra miles which do not have to be physically covered in distance (virtual miles).
C.1 Travel Miles Map sharing
Sharing from the Travel Miles Map screen links friends and/or followers to a map with your travelled distances represented als lines. Sharing can be done in the following ways:
- Facebook: a link to the map is posted on the user’s wall accompanied by a message of the user’s choice. This earns the user 200 miles.
- LinkedIn: a status is posted to your LinkedIn profile, including a hyperlink to the map. The status says: “Take a look at my trips I tracked with the Samsonite Travel Miles app: www.url.com”. The message can be edited. This earns the user 200 miles.
- Twitter: a tweet is published through your profile: “Take a look at my trips I tracked with the Samsonite Travel Miles app: www.url.com”. This earns the user 200 miles.
Note:
- The user can share as many times as he/she likes, the 200 miles are always earned.
- After the sharing is completed, a separate screen shows the earned miles: “You just earned 200 miles by sharing your Travel Miles Map on [network X]. This is a full screen with only an OK-button.
- When the social sharing makes the user reach a milestone, the screen “You just earned…” is followed by an “Unlocked Gift (*)” screen, identical to the screen that is shown when a user has unlocked a gift through the travel procedure.
- When the social sharing makes the user earn a Badge, the screen “You just earned…” is followed by an “Earned Badge” screen, identical to the screen that is shown when a user has earned a badge through the travel procedure. Only the badge “Around the world” can be earned in this way, since this is the only badge without location definers.
C.2 Badge sharing
Sharing a badge can only be done from the “Earned Badge” screen at the moment when a badge has just been earned, not from the “Badges” or “Single Badge View” screens, which give only an overview of the badges. Therefore, every badge can only be shared once. Sharing a badge earns the user 100 miles per social network.
- After the sharing is completed, a separate screen shows the earned miles: “You just earned 100 miles by sharing [badge X] on [network Y]. This is a full screen with only an OK-button.
- When the social sharing makes the user reach a milestone, the screen “You just earned…” is followed by an “Unlocked Gift (*)” screen, identical to the screen that is shown when a user has unlocked a gift (*) through the travel procedure.
- When the social sharing makes the user earn a Badge, the screen “You just earned…” is followed by an “Earned Badge” screen, identical to the screen that is shown when a user has earned a badge through the travel procedure. Only the badge “Around the world” can be earned in this way, since this is the only badge without location definers.
