Plusgrade expands partnership with Garuda Indonesia

Travel ancillary revenue solutions developer Plusgrade announced the expansion of its existing partnership with Indonesian flag-carrier Garuda Indonesia.

Under this expanded partnership, members of Garuda Indonesia’s GarudaMiles loyalty programme now have access to Plusgrade’s suite of currency retailing products, ensuring that they can maximise the value of their loyalty rewards whilst enjoying greater flexibility in terms of earning points.

Members also have the ability to accelerate their reward journey by purchasing miles directly through the new “Buy Miles” feature. This means rewards members can reach their goals faster, gaining access to premium flights and exclusive benefits sooner than ever before.

A welcome innovation

Garuda Indonesia president and CEO Irfan Setiaputra said: “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Plusgrade, drawing on their decades of expertise to introduce this innovative feature to our GarudaMiles members.”

Setiaputra explained that he expects the collaboration to deliver added value to the airline’s customers, especially GarudaMiles members as this collaboration opens up new avenues for them to earn and redeem miles.

The partnership also enhances passengers’ travel experiences and shows Garuda Indonesia’s dedication to delivering unparalleled service.

A vital partnership

Plusgrade founder and CEO Ken Harris said of the expanded partnership: “At Plusgrade, we focus on creating products that give travelers what they truly want: more utility, greater flexibility, and tailored experiences.”

Harris takes pride in how Garuda Indonesia turned to Plusgrade build on the success of their Upgrade product to create a more fulsome ancillary revenue offering that delivers excellent customer experiences. 

Indeed, the new ‘Buy Miles’ feature will ensure GarudaMiles members can now enjoy enhanced value from their miles, more ways to earn them, along with personalised travel experiences.
