Traveloka is collaborating with Citi Indonesia (Citibank) to introduce the Citi Rewards Points – Traveloka Points Conversion program, which was officially introduced today in Jakarta. Through this program, Citi Credit Card customers who are also Traveloka users can easily exchange Citi Rewards Points / Miles into Traveloka Points in real-time, making this collaboration the first initiative between Citi Indonesia and a technology company that allows real point exchanges with the utilization of API technology. This program is an additional feature of Citi Indonesia and Traveloka partnership programs since 2015.
The introduction of this collaborative program was attended by President, Traveloka Group Operations, Henry Hendrawan; Senior Vice President of Insurance & Partnership, Traveloka, Yady Guitana; Senior Vice President of Payment Products Traveloka, Stefani Herlie, and Citi Indonesia’s representatives, CEO of Citi Indonesia, Batara Sianturi; Citi Indonesia’s Head of Consumer Banking, Christina Teh Tan; and Herman Soesetyo, Head of Cards and Loans, Citi Indonesia.
This program is expected to provide greater convenience and a new experience for Citi Credit Card customers to realize their travel plans and lifestyle needs by using Traveloka Points to enjoy attractive price discounts, both for Traveloka services and all Traveloka Points merchants. In addition, this program also allows users to make the most of the points gained from the Citi Indonesia loyalty program.
Senior Vice President of Payment Products, Traveloka, Stefani Herlie, said, “This collaboration is a manifestation of our commitment in providing convenience for users by observing and analyzing their needs, in this case the freedom to optimize the use of Citi reward points they get from transactions using Citi cards with an easy and practical way, to fulfill their travel and lifestyle needs.”
