Airasia rewards is the No.1 loyalty program in ASEAN. airasia members can use airasia points to pay for travel products such as flights and hotel stay as well as non-travel products such as food delivery, ride-hailing, duty-free shopping, and lifestyle deals all on the airasia Super App. Additionally, financial services, insurance, courier services, on-demand academic learning courses and others are also available via the airasia Super App.
The launch of point exchange service with airasia rewards has significant meanings for MiL.k. It means airasia Super App's loyalty points, known as airasia points, will be connected with MiL.k's point ecosystem, which makes MiL.k's successful debut in the global market.

We anticipate that more and more local services will be launched, and MiL.k will become the representative use case of blockchain in daily life. So, please keep an eye on our next steps."
The CLO of airasia Super App, Ong Wai Fong said "We are pleased to partner with MiL.k which is the representative point exchange platform in South Korea.
