Airline Loyalty Programs – 2 leading big programs v REM Loyalty

Today we compare Air Miles and Aeroplan to REM Loyalty’s built-in travel App used for redemptions. The test is to compare availability (choices), value for money on redemption, taxes and surcharges, points cost and ability to earn points on flight rewards. Let’s see how the new kid on the block(chain) works…

Bond’s latest Loyalty report “The Game is Changing” shows the highest satisfaction rating for loyalty programs is in groceries. Even that high-water mark is a disappointing 50%. Airlines are well down the list at 36%. So, what’s stopping these airline programs from getting good scores? We all LOVE to travel for free, but perhaps the lack of choices and other factors are stopping us from LOVING the programs.

Today’s comparison was based on a one-way flight from Vancouver to Toronto on Tuesday 9 April 2019. It’s a popular route and we picked Tuesday to ensure loads of availability. There’s nothing special about the date other than that. We ran the numbers on Monday 11 Feb 2019 and based pricing off websites. REM Loyalty’s reward token, the REM was 4c, Aeroplan Rewards 3.8c and Air Miles 30c. Of course, there’s ways to EARN the miles (rather than buy them) but for the test we need a stable and fair benchmark.

REM Loyalty has MARKET-BASED REDEMPTIONS. That means we apply our reward margin to the real market prices, capturing all deals and discounts. Other programs can’t do that. The cost to you will always be at a considerable inflated margin to market AND you’ll have out of pockets because you need to pay taxes and surcharges at checkout. REM Loyalty is a TAX-FREE ZONE.

The choice of flights and airlines is highest with REM Loyalty by a long margin. The other programs support only their own, or at most one or two other airlines, so choices are limited two ways. First by airline, then also by routes they offer. REM Loyalty has its own in-built travel App which has every airline and hotel. We call this EVERYTHING ALWAYS.

The final difference is in the rewards earn. The other programs don’t offer you the opportunity to earn rewards from your rewards booking. REM Loyalty offers 102%. 100% reward earn on the airline you chose to fly with, PLUS a bonus 2% of the REM tokens you just spent on redeeming the flight. Even with redeeming points, you earn in multiple ways with REM Loyalty.

The easiest way to earn REM Loyalty reward points is by paying rent through RENT PERKS (www.rentperks.com) or by using the White Mastercard Rewards Debit Card which you can apply for on the REM Loyalty site.

We think that by expanding choices, offering better value, paying all your taxes and allowing points earn on redemptions, we are building a better rewards program.

Hi and welcome to the first monthly edition of Your Rewards. This is to keep you up to date on new changes and additions to the REM Loyalty program.

TerrawattLED has issued the LED Token to incentivize replacement of energy hungry old-fashioned bulbs with energy star rated LED lighting across the US. The US electricity sector is one of the biggest greenhouse gas emitters and LED lighting is a great way to lower the footprint. LED is cooler, more efficient, lasts longer and is more effective.

“Our LED Token acts as an incentive and a store of data for verification” says Evan William, CEO. “And the funds raised act as a pool to ensure subsidized purchases and widespread adoption by utilities and individual consumers. Today we announce a partnership with REM Loyalty to provide a broader rewards experience for our customers and incentivize even greater take up rates for LED. Starting this December, customers will be able to earn and redeem REM for everything from flights to ride-sharing, accommodation and concerts”.

Zdravko Loborec, founder of REM Loyalty sees tremendous synergies in the partnership. “REM Loyalty is excited to be part of TerrwattLED’s environmental mission and help reward its customers. We’ve been busy setting up an ecosystem of reward partners that provide unique and lasting reward experiences. We are pleased to have an environmentally conscience partner like TerrawattLED join us and provide redemption choices for people earning REM tokens as rewards all over the world”.

About TerrawatLED

Terawatt works to drive global LED adoption to reduce global greenhouse emissions and combat evil greenhouse gases and high electricity bills! Terawatt will create a DAO, and also a deflationary Ethereum-based, private (zk-SNARKS) token for global transactions. The DAO will be funded and used by utility companies, L.E.D. sellers, businesses, token holders, and energy customers worldwide. The DAO will act as a decentralized global pool of funding to ensure utilities always have access to funding (which constantly runs out) for subsidizing L.E.D. sales to their energy customers (or for businesses upgrading to L.E.D.s). Terawatt has raised 6.3 million USD and the ICO ends December 15th. They have already signed exchange listing agreements with Coinbene, Bitmart, Idex, Xcrypt, Ternion, and have partnered up with 24+ other blockchain companies including IBM!

Intelligent fitness is on the rise as people are increasingly turning to wearable devices and apps to help them meet their goals. The data that users generate via these devices is extremely valuable to fitness marketers, however users themselves haven’t been able to capture this value – until now. Performance Lab, via its tokenized Smart Training Community, plans to disrupt the industry and put the control of health, privacy and rewards back into users’ own hands.

As users generate exercise data, they will receive Arda token rewards (ARDATs) and using Arda’s AI, this data becomes rich and meaningful. When users choose to share their data with third party businesses they will benefit through targeted offers and rewards, while helping those third parties with insights. At the same time, users will receive meaningful feedback and coaching from Arda in exchange for ARDATs.

Now, Performance Lab and REM loyalty are teaming up to reward users’ healthy behavior in an even more enriched and engaging way. The partnership will enable REM Loyalty customers to swap their REM tokens with ARDATs to participate in the Arda Smart Training Community and conversely, Arda users will be able to redeem rewards from any of the REM Loyalty partners by swapping their ARDATs for REM. This means, in addition to the fitness rewards offered by Performance Lab, users will soon be able to trade their ARDATs for unlimited global flights and hotels, accommodation, Uber rides and StubHub tickets via REM Loyalty. With this ability to swap and redeem both tokens, the REM Loyalty-Performance Lab partnership will promote further liquidity and transparency within the two token economies.

“The wellness culture is embedded in all aspects of today’s consumer industry,” says Zdravko Loborec, Founder, REM Loyalty. “Performance Lab’s’ tokenized Smart Training Community aligns well with our vision of creating a rewarding experience for our customers, many of whom have incorporated health and wellness activities as part of their lifestyle. We are really looking forward to realizing the synergies between our two ecosystems and enriching the experience for today’s wellness consumer.”

“Our shared values of innovating through blockchain technology to deliver an enriched and empowered customer experience makes REM Loyalty and Performance Lab a natural fit for collaboration,” says Waynne Dartnall, CEO of Performance Lab. “We look forward to working with REM Loyalty to further encourage our community to embrace healthy behavior and deliver an even more rewarding experience.”

Within the past 25 years, property portals (of publicly traded and private companies) have grown to become a $100+ billion global market.1 While it has provided customers with a convenient method of searching for residential, commercial and industrial properties for sale or for rent, the industry is heavily centralized, a small handful of companies in each country yield great power and influence.

REM Loyalty and OpenBrix collaborate to create a rewarding, customer-first experience for real estate stakeholders

According to Grand View Research, the global real estate market is expected to generate a revenue of USD 4,263.7 billion by 2025.2 Even though it is one of largest commercial and household expenditures, this category remains to be one of the least rewarded. OpenBrix’s plans further its market share in this industry while enhancing the customer experience through blockchain technology (as the first decentralized digital property portal in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia) makes it a great addition to REM Loyalty’s partner ecosystem.

“With a decentralized and distributed property portal, OpenBrix empowers people through blockchain technology,” says Shahad Choudhury, Founder & CEO, OpenBrix. “Our portal allows stakeholders (such as property owners and managers; homebuyers; landlords and renters) to openly connect, communicate and transact on a transparent, secured and frictionless network, as well as enhances the user experience by removing the complexities related to traditional property-related transactions.”

Our partnership with OpenBrix is founded upon our mutual commitment to customer-first business strategy supported by technology,” comments Zdravko Loborec, Founder, REM Loyalty. “Together, we can further disrupt the real estate industry with an unprecedented loyalty rewards program to its stakeholders while providing our ecosystem’s partners (like RentalMiles and Okeydokey) with access to markets in EMEA and Asia.”

“Real estate is a people-centric business,” states Jason Duncan, North America CEO, RentalMiles. “Partners like OpenBrix provide the local knowledge of the regions in which our customers are interested in making an investment so that we can better advise them in cross-border transactions.”
