Groupon leverages Points’ Loyalty Commerce
Platform functionality to enable users to earn airline miles and
hotel points on each purchase
Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN), the global marketplace for local
services, experiences and goods and Points (TSX:PTS) (NASDAQ:
PCOM), the global leader in powering loyalty commerce, announced an
expansion of Groupon’s existing loyalty program––which incentivizes
customers with airline miles and hotel points for making purchases
on Groupon––to include Frontier Airlines FRONTIER Miles℠. Starting
today, Groupon’s loyalty program, powered by Points’ Loyalty
Commerce Platform, allows U.S. users to earn up to 5 FRONTIER Miles
per dollar spent for buying eligible Groupon deals. New users of
Groupon can earn up to 1,000 FRONTIER Miles when they complete
their first purchase.
“We’re thrilled to add Frontier––one of the biggest names in air
travel––to our list of loyalty partners, providing even more value
and incentive to shop our wide selection of unforgettable local
experiences, amazing travel deals and top consumer gadgets,” said
Paul Koura, director of affiliate and student marketing, Groupon.
“With the holiday shopping season rapidly approaching, now’s a
great time to start crossing people off your list while earning
something for yourself to use on that much needed post-holiday rest
and relaxation.”
To take advantage of the new loyalty offering, Groupon users can
visit www.groupon.com/programs/loyalty and click on the FRONTIER
Miles logo to earn miles for Groupon purchases. Next, they create
or log in to a Groupon account. After logging in, users enter their
loyalty program membership number and confirm they agree to the
terms and conditions. Finally, they receive a unique promo code
that they enter with every eligible purchase to receive credit for
FRONTIER Miles.
“In conjunction with the introduction of our recently reimagined
FRONTIER Miles program, Frontier is excited to add Groupon as a
partner that will make earning awards even easier for our
customers,” said Tommy Langhauser, manager of loyalty and
partnerships, Frontier Airlines. “Groupon and Frontier are a
natural fit and both appeal to a broad spectrum of consumers who
seek a good value. A partnership with Groupon means that we can
make travel even more affordable for flyers.”
Through one straightforward integration with Points’ Loyalty
Commerce Platform, Groupon has gained managed transactional access
to industry leading loyalty programs. Points service enables
Groupon to leverage loyalty platforms as a tool to drive increased
engagement and new member acquisition.
“We are thrilled to be able to deepen loyalty and engagement
opportunities for Frontier Airlines, a company that is constantly
focused on enhancing the benefits of their loyalty offering to its
members,” said Barry May, GM of platform partnerships at Points.
“By bringing together Groupon and Frontier Airlines, we are helping
to make our partners’ programs more valuable – while giving their
members an additional way to earn miles for something they do
frequently.”
With the addition of Frontier Airlines FRONTIER Miles, the
eligible travel rewards programs in Groupon’s loyalty program
include American Airlines AAdvantage® and through Points’ Loyalty
Commerce Platform: Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan™, Choice
Privileges®, IHG® Rewards Club, JetBlue’s TrueBlue Program and La
Quinta Returns™.
