Loyalty programmes are a great way to be rewarded for daily transacting habits. While many of us enjoy them for a number of reasons, ultimately, it gives us a sense of receiving extra value from what we spend on, as we are able to collect points and later redeem them for discounted or free products or services.
When it comes to airlines and travel, AirAsia often comes to mind. With the newly enhanced airasia Super App, users can now benefit from a whole host of services beyond flights—which means more avenues for members to earn airasia points from when they spend on a variety of lifestyle items, services, and features. Members can also use their airasia points to pay for their Super App transactions or redeem other rewards.
All this is made possible with their loyalty programme: airasia rewards. Initially launched as an airline loyalty programme, airasia rewards has since blossomed into a comprehensive lifestyle rewards platform that offers members a holistic, borderless (not limited to geolocation), and rewarding experience, with a wide range of partners across lifestyle, travel, services, and more. Whether you’re transacting on the airasia Super App or with airasia rewards partners, you’ll be able to earn and redeem points anywhere in the world, as long as there is an airasia presence there.
With airasia points redemption not being limited to just free flights, you’re able to maximise your points in various ways. If you’ve been wondering how to earn more airasia points and how to get the most value out of them before they expire, keep reading on.
As mentioned earlier, you don’t just get points from flights now. You can also earn rewards from planning hotel stays, purchasing travel packages, ordering food, exploring educational opportunities, booking e-hailing rides, getting parcels delivered, and shopping online.
In fact, you can collect airasia points from over 300 lifestyle, travel, beauty, and F&B partners! On airasia travelmall, you’ll find brands like Furla, JBL, BOSE, and The Inkey List, while airasia rewards shop partners include Watsons, Nike Malaysia, JD Sports, Resorts World Awana, Trip.com, Agoda, Sephora, Hermo, Santan, EatCakeToday, Amazin’ Graze and more. You may opt to have your purchases delivered straight to your doorstep as well.
So, whether you’re shopping directly from the partners’ website via airasia rewards shop, or purchasing the selection of goods available on airasia travelmall, you’re entitled to earnings that start from 1 airasia point for every RM1 spent. Plus, when you’re travelling overseas, you can earn up to 6x airasia points from your airasia Super App transactions as long as you spend with your BigPay card. And if you’re an airasia credit cardholder, that’s just one more way to enjoy accelerated points earning from your daily and airasia spend.
In addition to all the above, you can also earn airasia points via instant points conversion on airasia xchange. airasia xchange is the world’s first airline points exchange feature that allows members to seamlessly turn their bank or other loyalty points into airasia points. All you need to do is link your bank or other loyalty accounts to your airasia account, before you start instantly converting points with just a tap.
airasia points are as good as cash because you can quite literally use your points in place of cash to pay for various transactions on the Super App. This includes flight and hotel bookings, food delivery payments, travelmall purchases, and more. With airasia rewards, the more points you spend, the more savings you earn. Your airasia points can offset your purchases both locally and abroad, so be sure to make full use of the points earned from your flights to pay for your purchases.
The next time you’re hopping across the islands of Phuket, Bali, or Palawan, or making a trip to Hanoi or Singapore, remember to check your app so you don’t miss out on any opportunities to utilise your points wherever airasia has a presence. And when you’ve touched down again in Malaysia, use your points to redeem airasia ride vouchers so you can score a discounted ride back to your home.
Speaking of vouchers, did you know that you can enjoy extra savings when you redeem airasia rewards deals directly from the airasia Super App? Aside from airasia ride vouchers, members can also redeem vouchers and products across various categories beyond flights and travel. Whether you’re looking to get a sweet treat from your favourite frozen yoghurt store, get flowers for a loved one, pick up new kicks, upgrade your fitness tracker, splurge on new headphones or more, you can save your hard-earned money by using airasia points as your payment method.
Furthermore, airasia has introduced Super Members’ Week where members can relish 7 days of nonstop rewards. That’s extra earnings and savings all day for an entire week!
How does it work? Well, as an airasia member, you get to earn 5x airasia points when you spend on food, hotels, flights (Non-AirAsia Flights), rides and more. You also get to enjoy a reduced point-to-Ringgit redemption rate of 50 airasia points to RM1, as opposed to the regular 125 airasia points. That means for a limited time only, you can use fewer airasia points to pay for any of the services or products available on the airasia Super App.
With AirAsia’s Final Call sales, you can also use your bonus earnings to redeem flights at much lower rates. Happening every first and last week of the month, you’d definitely want to take advantage of fantastic flight discounts to visit your dream destinations.
