Redeems on:Viva Doters

Doters is the loyalty program of Viva, the Mexican low cost airline. It is free to join (you must be 18 or older), and it is a real points program: you earn Doters when you fly Viva and spend them on Viva flights and extras.

The catch for US readers is that Doters is a Viva-only world. There are no airline or hotel transfer partners, and the one credit card that earns Doters is issued by HSBC Mexico and runs on peso spending. So for most readers Doters is a way to get a little back from flights you were already taking on Viva, not a program to build a points strategy around.

Award chart

The actual numbers. Get your nerd on, memorize the cheap ones.

The cheat sheet.

See the rates →

Doters has no fixed award chart. Boleto Doters prices are set by Viva per route and seat availability, shown as a points price plus the TUA airport fee, and they can change at any time. Check the live price on the Viva website or app. Domestic one way fares start from about 5,400 to 6,000 Doters.

Spill the gotchas →
  • Viva only. There are no airline or hotel transfer partners, and Doters cannot be sold, shared or moved to another account. The account is personal and non transferable.
  • Taxes and TUA do not earn. Doters are based on the base fare only.
  • Perks need a login. Tier perks apply only when you book on the Viva website or app while logged into your Doters account.
  • Only your own tickets count toward your tier.
  • Tiers reset every January. Qualifying points start again at zero each calendar year. You keep your tier for the rest of that year plus the whole next calendar year.
  • Bought, bonus and transferred points do not count toward tiers.
  • Buying points: for your own account only, 3,000 points for MXN 900 up to 20,000 for MXN 6,000 (MXN 300 per 1,000). The cap is 20,000 a day and 100,000 per 30 days, and purchases are final with no refunds.
  • Flight count bonus: each calendar year, 4 one way flights earn 2,000 Doters, 8 flights earn 3,000, and 16 flights earn 8,000.
  • Cards: the only card is the HSBC Viva or HSBC Viva Plus from HSBC Mexico, on peso spending. No US issued card earns Doters. Doters also takes conversions from some Mexican bank programs (a Mexican Amex Membership Rewards gift card swap, BBVA, Hey Banco). US cards are not eligible.
