| | Points.com Members Earn Miles by Shopping Online at 300+ Retailers | | | TORONTO, May 3, 2006 – Points International Ltd. (TSX: PTS; OTCBB: PTSEF)—owner and operator of the world’s leading reward consolidation and redemption portal, Points.com—has introduced a revolutionary feature allowing members to grow their reward-program balances by shopping online.
The Points.com Earn feature awards bonus miles or points, in participating programs, when Points.com members make qualifying purchases from affiliated online retailers. It is possible to add hundreds of miles or points to an account with a single purchase, and there is no limit to the size of bonus that can be Earned.
Over 300 of the web’s leading retailers are participating in the program.
“We believe our new Earn feature represents an amazing opportunity for our members,” said Points International CEO Rob MacLean. “Online shopping is estimated by Forrester Research to grow into a $300 billion business over the next five years, and our Earn feature rewards our members for shopping this way. By doing their shopping online through Points.com, our members can reach their reward goals even faster.”
MacLean added, “Earn also represents a great opportunity for our partners, programs such as Delta Air Lines SkyMiles®, InterContinental Hotels Group™ Priority Club® Rewards and Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan. Earn allows them to offer their members even more opportunities to acquire their reward currencies. This not only fulfills a core business requirement for our partners, it has a strongly positive impact on member loyalty.”
