New loyalty payment platform will offer Flying Blue members a new way to earn and spend Flying Blue Miles
24th July 2023: Pointspay, a leading global loyalty marketing and payment platform, is thrilled to announce a 5-year strategic partnership with Flying Blue, the loyalty program of the Air France KLM Group.
The new platform, called Flying Blue+, will initially be launched in France and the Netherlands, allowing members to earn and spend Flying Blue Miles when shopping online simply by selecting Flying Blue+ as the payment option at checkout in the merchant’s own online storefront. Members will also be given the option of paying with a combination of miles and card payment using Pointspay’s patented points-plus-cash slider.
Flying Blue members can earn and spend miles across a range of merchants within the Flying Blue+ ecosystem. This partnership will offer members the ability to save money, add possibilities on how they earn and spend their miles and accelerate their ability to earn rewards such as upgrades and more.
The launch of Flying Blue+ is made possible through Pointspay’s e-commerce (Magento, OpenCart & WooCommerce) & payment partners (Adyen & Buckaroo) making it easier than ever for merchants to accept & offer Flying Blue+ as a payment method at checkout.
Dominic Hofer, Founder and CEO of Loylogic Group, commented:
“We are absolutely delighted to be working with Flying Blue on the development of this world-first initiative. Our market-leading Pointspay platform, Flying Blue+ will revolutionize the loyalty experience for Flying Blue Members, making the earning and spending of miles instant, intuitive, and completely seamless.”

The customer journey is smooth since members can do their shopping directly with the participating merchants and secure a seamless payment experience.
