TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2022 /CNW/ – The AIR MILES® Reward Program is thrilled to announce that it has partnered with Tokens.com and Metaverse Group to become the first brand-agnostic loyalty program of the Metaverse.

The AIR MILES currency is currently issued at more than 300 leading Canadian, global, and online brands and at thousands of retail and service locations across the country. This breadth and scale of its existing partnership models, coupled with the engagement of the millions of Canadians who carry the AIR MILES card in their wallet or have the app on their phone, puts the program in a unique position to leverage this new partnership to extend its reach and impact into the Metaverse.

“As an organization, we are exploring every opportunity to create meaningful connections between the brands we partner with and the customers who engage with AIR MILES every day, including expanding our partnership models in a more open and flexible world. This first-of-its-kind partnership model represents a unique opportunity for us to create exciting new channels for brands to connect with consumers, showcase new reward opportunities for collectors, and grow new communities in a Web3 universe,” said Shawn Stewart, President, AIR MILES Reward Program. “Together with Tokens.com and Metaverse Group, we are excited and motivated to tap into the tremendous potential of the Metaverse and bring innovative new solutions to brands and customers everywhere.”

“Tokens.com is a leader in the Web3 ecosystem and we are proud to add Canada’s leading loyalty rewards company, AIR MILES, to our client roster,” said Andrew Kiguel, Co-Founder and CEO of Tokens.com. “Our ability to deliver disruptive Web3 strategies allows us to continue to work with North America’s most impactful brands and to move the needle in Web3 adoption across sectors.”

“Metaverse Group is excited to partner with such an innovative loyalty program as AIR MILES.  There are so many unique opportunities to create value for both Metaverse Group clients and AIR MILES clients. Web3 has endless possibilities for brands to create new and interesting offerings using rewards such as AIR MILES,” commented Lorne Sugarman, CEO, Metaverse Group.
