"As the world leader in loyalty currency management, it was a natural fit for Points.com to develop this relationship with PayPal," said Christopher Barnard, President of Points International. "Integrating the PayPal Platform into our own establishes a new way for program operators to interact with their members and devise compelling redemption opportunities, resulting in greater member engagement. Users now have even more ways to get the most out of their points and miles."

Charlie Sultan, Vice President of AAdvantage Partner Marketing, said, "We strive to find additional ways to make AAdvantage miles valuable to our members. This new and innovative partnership with Points.com and PayPal offers our members another redemption option in addition to free air travel, hotel stays and car rentals. This added flexibility continues to enhance the AAdvantage loyalty program which was the world's first frequent flyer program when it was launched 30 years ago."

Points.com partners participating at launch include American Airlines AAdvantage Miles® and US Airways® Dividend Miles® with additional partners added on a rolling basis.

"We are very excited to be teaming up with Points.com to deliver innovative redemption options that leverage the PayPal Platform," said Dan Schatt, GM of Financial Innovations for PayPal. "This will empower millions of loyalty program members to quickly use their miles and points wherever PayPal is accepted worldwide. Users can also redeem their loyalty points and then send the rewards to any email address where PayPal accepts payments, making the redemption experience truly unique."
