Grab Expands Partners for GrabRewards, Southeast Asia’s Largest Loyalty Programme

Grab, the leading on-demand transportation and mobile payments platform, today announced the launch of its new expanded GrabRewards programme.

  • New network of more than 150 top-tier merchants across Southeast Asia, incl. AirAsiaGo, Deliveroo and Spotify partner with Grab for access to Southeast Asia’s largest ecosystem of customers
  • Members of all tiers will now get exclusive and better rewards from flagship partners such as Cinemaxx, Old Town White Coffee, and MatahariMall

Indonesia, 20 September 2017 Grab, the leading on-demand transportation and mobile payments platform, today announced the launch of its new expanded GrabRewards programme. By drawing more than 150 merchants into its ecosystem of rewards partners, Grab confirms its customer base’s appeal to merchants as one of the most popular apps in Southeast Asia. With nearly 60 million mobile downloads, it opens up a new way for Grab merchant partners to market through the largest customer loyalty programme across Southeast Asia.

“This is an important step in the development of the GrabPay wallet,” says Jason Thompson, Head of GrabPay. “With our new expanded GrabRewards programme, we’ve created an ecosystem in which our customers stay loyal because a rupiah spent with Grab is more valuable than a rupiah spent elsewhere. For our partners, it’s exciting to see GrabPay become a real revenue driver. During our soft launch in the last month, a number of our merchant partners have hit their redemption targets four times over already.”

Greater value beyond rides

GrabRewards consists of four loyalty tiers: Platinum, Gold and Silver for Grab’s top riders, with all other passengers placed in the Member tier. Thanks to the updated reward partners catalogue, consumers across each tier will receive more targeted, exclusive and exciting rewards with flagship partners such as Cinemaxx, Old Town White Coffee, and Matahari Mall.

“At Grab, we want to create value with every ride taken – beyond providing safe and affordable transport, the points that passengers earn from their rides give them access to a wide range of popular and well-loved retail and lifestyle products that truly matter to them,” says Jason. “With as little as a week’s worth of rides to and from work, our loyal GrabPay users will be able to get valuable benefits like movie tickets and free meals,” he added.

“Grab platform is a means of connecting and providing access – not just to products and services but to the things that matter to them and GrabRewards is our way to say ‘thank you’ to our passengers for trusting us. We have listened to customers, and we are delighted to have made GrabRewards is even more exciting for them through the expanded network of merchants.” said Mediko Azwar, Marketing Director of Grab Indonesia.
