AirAsia-backed BigPay has announced an upgrade to its rewards programme, allowing users who have linked their BigPay account to their airasia rewards account to now earn up to 6x airasia points when they spend using the service.

Prior to this revision, BigPay’s rewards programme allows you to earn only one airasia point for every RM20 or RM30 spent, depending on your category of expenses. Now, the earning structure has been enhanced to be more rewarding, as is shown below:

Expense category	Earning rate before revision	Earning rate after revision	Multiplier after revision
In-app bill payments	1 point for every RM20 spent	1 point for every RM10 spent	2x
Local expenses	1 point for every RM30 spent	1 point for every RM10 spent	3x
International expenses	1 point for every RM30 spent	2 points for every RM10 spent	6x
airasia transactions	1 point for every RM30 spent	2 points for every RM10 spent	6x

Do be aware that the airasia points earned will be credited to your account within 24 hours after each successful transaction, while the bonus points will be awarded within 14 days.

BigPay also clarified that users are allowed to earn unlimited points per transaction – as long as the transaction is valid and qualifies for the programme. Transactions that are not eligible to earn points include peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, cash-outs or ATM withdrawals, as well as reloads of other e-wallets. Additionally, multiple transactions that do not hit the minimum spend cannot be combined to earn points.

Finally, note as well that BigPay refers to this upgrade as an ongoing campaign that will run for “an indefinite period of time or any other period as deemed fit by the organiser”. As such, frequent BigPay users may want to take advantage of this upgraded benefit as often as possible while it is still available.

For those who are not aware, airasia points and airasia rewards were previously known as BIG Points and BIG Rewards, respectively. The names were, however, eventually revised following the merging of the BIG Rewards app with the airasia Super App at the end of 2021 to offer a more seamless user experience. The airasia points earned can then be used as a digital “currency” across the entire Super App ecosystem.
