Without Decreasing Your
Program’s Consumer Appeal...
Affinion Loyalty Group (ALG) has been successful in reducing the gross cost per point redeemed across the programs it manages by 19% since 2003. Five percent of total points redeemed have shifted away from airline tickets to other options since 2003, due in part to the promotion of lower-cost items like merchandise and gift cards. Continually introducing new lower-cost redemption options encourages further shift away from airline tickets
Additionally, overall cost per point for airline tickets has decreased by 11% since 2003, due in part to ALG’s introduction of flexible new offers like Dollars Off and Variable Redemption Matrices.
ALG also monitors shifts in marketplace standards and recommends corresponding changes to the redemption value in certain reward categories, further reducing reward costs.
