KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and SINGAPORE, June 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This agreement enables:

    --  customers of AltoStratos' eCommerce platforms across Asia-Pacific to
        sign-on as AirAsia BIG Members and be issued BIG Points for their online
        purchases; and
    --  AirAsia BIG Members globally to use their BIG Points to redeem lifestyle
        products and services from AltoStratos' eCommerce platforms directly.

By enabling the issuance and redemption of AirAsia BIG Points across Asia-Pacific seamlessly and electronically, members and customers of both AirAsia BIG and AltoStratos across the region will be able to transact in real-time using BIG Points.

This multinational cross-border collaboration between AirAsia BIG and AltoStratos is a milestone for both companies as it seeks to further promote AirAsia BIG Points as a borderless digital currency.

AltoStratos owns and operates dedicated B2B and B2C eCommerce platforms for its global brands and manufacturers across Asia-Pacific. These eCommerce platforms include its dedicated B2C I.T. and consumer-focused electronics eCommerce platform TechDeals.Asia.

In addition to its I.T. and consumer electronics platforms, AltoStratos is also currently rolling-out its dedicated beauty, health and wellness eCommerce platforms for global brands and manufacturers, namely, BeautyDirect.Asia and HealthDirect.Asia to extend its eCommerce offering across Asia-Pacific.

AirAsia BIG Chief Executive Officer Spencer Lee said, "As a travel and lifestyle technology company, we are committed to opening up more avenues for BIG Members to earn BIG Points so that they can enjoy fantastic perks beyond air travel. With this partnership with TechDeals.Asia, BIG Members can now also use BIG Points to do more than just redeem flights - they can use BIG Points to redeem other travel and lifestyle deals such as consumer electronics, tours and activities, spas, restaurants and so much more."

Lee Yuen Wai, CEO of Altostratos Group said, "the AltoStratos Group is proud to partner with AirAsia BIG as its exclusive loyalty partner across Asia-Pacific.

"Our customers will now be able to earn AirAsia BIG Points and use them to redeem not only a suite of lifestyle products from our eCommerce platforms, but also flights and other travel and lifestyle options on AirAsia's platform. This is a very attractive proposition for our loyal customers.

"This collaboration with AirAsia BIG also allows AltoStratos to work with just one loyalty partner across all our key Asia-Pacific markets and this reduces our time-to-market deployment for our key customer service teams.

"At the same time, we are delighted to welcome AirAsia BIG Members to our eCommerce platforms to instantly redeem lifestyle rewards using their AirAsia BIG Points.

"We are also looking forward to working with AirAsia BIG to offer exclusive deals only available to AirAsia BIG Members on our dedicated beauty, health, wellness and consumer electronics eCommerce platforms."
