It anchors on the promise of turning everyday spend into premium travel perks.
On Tuesday, August 12, AirAsia rewards, the loyalty and rewards program of its parent company Capital A, introduced the AirAsia Platinum credit card.
Launched in partnership with the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), the new card promises to empower Filipinos by “transforming everyday spending into rewarding travel experiences.”
“This partnership not just gives our customers a credit card, we’re opening the runway to a lifestyle that’s rewarding, accessible, and globally connected,” said Diyao Leong, Head of Rewards Regional Partnerships at AirAsia rewards.
RCBC, meanwhile, emphasized the value of the partnership in enhancing customer experience across the industries.
Arniel Vincent Ong, the President and CEO of Credit Cards at the bank noted, “The new AirAsia Platinum Credit Card is designed to integrate travel and lifestyle benefits seamlessly. Everyday purchases made with the card earn generous AirAsia points, which are automatically credited to the cardholder’s AirAsia member account. This makes earning and redeeming points easy for flights, hotel stays, and various lifestyle rewards.”
The AirAsia Platinum Credit Card empowers Filipinos to unlock travel rewards from everyday spending, making trips more accessible. For avid travelers, it elevates every trip with seamless convenience and exclusive premium benefits.
Going beyond traditional rewards AirAsia Platinum taps into the growing synergy between travel and finance by letting cardholders earn AirAsia points faster at just P22 per point earned.
Additionally, exclusive premium travel benefits are being offered by the card, including a “Welcome bonus” worth 15,000 points, unlimited access to PAGSS International Lounge at NAIA Terminal 1, and low foreign exchange fee of 1.85% on international purchases, both in-store and online.
On top of those, there will also be an automatic AirAsia Platinum membership status that will let passengers enjoy priority check-in, boarding, and xpress baggage on AirAsia flights.
AirAsia rewards is also integrated with the online travel agency (OTA) platform MOVE, which is also owned by the Capital A group.
Hence, cardholders can redeem points not just on AirAsia flights, but also across a global network of 700 airlines and more than 1 million hotels that can be booked through the OTA.
