Jakarta, June 28, 2024 - The interest of Indonesian people in traveling, both abroad and within Indonesia, has been steadily increasing. This trend is supported by data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS)1, which recorded a 30.63% increase in domestic flights in April 2024 compared to March 2024. Meanwhile, international flights also saw an 11.45% increase from the previous month.
Travelers today have increasingly varied and personal holiday goals beyond merely visiting tourist destinations. They seek experiences like tasting local cuisine, attending performances by their favorite artists, having religious trips, and exploring regional cultures. To support this dynamic trend, Jenius, a life finance solution from Bank BTPN, helps travelers manage their finances effectively to fulfill their travel needs.
Febri Rusli, Digital Banking Product & Innovation Head at Bank BTPN, stated, "Every journey, whether a solo trip or a vacation with family and friends, comes with financial implications from preparation, during the trip, and after returning home. To address this, Jenius offers incredible convenience for its users to prepare for and enjoy their travels comfortably, including managing their finances without worrying about unexpected situations.”
Travel needs can be more easily managed by using the Jenius Credit Card. The convenience of transactions with the Jenius Credit Card not only provides users with smooth and secure access when traveling abroad but also allows them to earn Yay Points that can be redeemed in real-time.
Jenius is continuously expanding its Yay Points redemption options by partnering with new strategic partners like AirAsia MOVE, Citilink, and MAPCLUB. This collaboration allows Jenius users to redeem their Yay Points for premium products from these partners. Currently, Jenius offers three categories for Yay Points redemption: Travel (GarudaMiles, KrisFlyer Miles, Traveloka Points, AirAsia points, LinkMiles), e- Wallet (GoPay, Ovo Cash), and Eat & Shop (MAPCLUB Points).
Teman Jenius can redeem their accumulated Yay Points into LinkMiles, which can then be redeemed for flight tickets to favorite destinations and exciting offers from Citilink partners. Haza Ibnu Rasyad, Head of Corporate Secretary & CSR Division at Citilink, stated, “The collaboration between Citilink and Jenius aims to provide added value for our loyal customers to enhance their travel experiences. With no limits on converting Yay Points into LinkMiles, customers can prepare for their vacations more easily and efficiently.”
Meanwhile, Jenius users can also redeem their Yay Points to AirAsia points, the loyalty program points of AirAsia rewards on the AirAsia MOVE app. Arifin Prasetyo, Country Head of AirAsia Rewards Indonesia, added, “This collaboration offers benefits, flexibility, and greater value for Jenius users and AirAsia members. With the expanded functionality of AirAsia points, users can now redeem them for AirAsia flight bookings, flights on 700 other global airlines, 900,000 hotel options worldwide, and various travel products and services available on the AirAsia MOVE app.”
Jenius users can also redeem Yay Points to MAPCLUB Points, which can be used for online transactions through the MAPCLUB app or at MAP offline stores. Marcella Dewi, Director of MAPCLUB Digital Asia, stated, “Through our collaboration with Jenius, we hope to offer consumers more options to collect points, redeem them more flexibly, and enjoy additional benefits.”
