TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Points (TSX:PTS) (Nasdaq:PCOM), a global leader in loyalty currency management, announces continued expansion of its Loyalty Partners reward currencies. In partnership with JetBlue Airways, Points has integrated Farmax, the leading pharmacy chain in the Dominican Republic, and its loyalty card Provital, to the Points Loyalty Commerce Platform. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Farmax customers will be able to earn JetBlue’s TrueBlue frequent flyer points through their daily purchases.

“One of our goals is to continue to represent our partners in new markets and merchant verticals. This is a great example of how we can easily and efficiently connect our loyalty program partners to new merchants, and enable those merchant partners to reward their customers with the loyalty currencies they already know and love,” said Rob MacLean, CEO of Points. “We’re honored to be able to connect our long-time partner JetBlue and their TrueBlue program with Farmax’s Provital program to ultimately deliver more value to both of their member bases.”

The Provital loyalty card offers customers discounts for purchases made in any Farmax retail location, as well as rewards at affiliated establishments. Provital, which now accesses the Points Loyalty Commerce Platform, allows Farmax customers to receive one TrueBlue point for every 100 pesos ($2.20 USD) of purchase, with a minimum of 500 pesos spent, plus a bonus of 100 points when initially subscribing to the rewards card. JetBlue provides air travel, an aspirational redemption option to the newly launched Provital.
