Loyalty program members will have access to new awards when ezRez Software launches a new product that will allow members of loyalty programs to use their miles or points as currency with PayPal. United will be the first airline to use the new software and MileagePlus members will be able to redeem miles for products and services with online merchants that accept PayPal. The MileagePlus program already partners with ezRez to offer hotel and car awards and members will have access to more award options when the product is rolled out next year. See our interview with ezRez Vice President of Marketing, Dario Ambrosini, in this month’s 60 Seconds to learn more.
