Use cases

Every airline reward mechanic. Every market.

From first-flight welcome cards to milestone frequent-flyer rewards — QIFTS gives airlines the infrastructure to reward passengers without building a complex points programme.

✈️

First flight welcome reward

Issue a reward card to every first-time passenger on confirmation of their first completed flight. Sets the tone for a positive customer relationship from day one.

✈️

Ticket booking cashback

Reward passengers with a cashback reward card on direct booking via your app or website — drives direct channel adoption and reduces OTA commission costs.

✈️

Upgrade completion reward

Issue a reward card when a passenger completes a seat upgrade purchase. Reinforces the upgrade decision and increases upgrade repeat rates.

✈️

Milestone flight rewards

Automatically reward passengers at 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 flight milestones — no points system required. Card issued the moment the milestone flight is completed.

✈️

Referral programme

Issue reward cards to existing passengers who refer new customers. Referred passenger books their first flight — referrer gets their card within 2 seconds via SMS or WhatsApp.

✈️

Delay & disruption goodwill

Automatically issue a goodwill reward card to passengers affected by flight delays or cancellations over a threshold duration. Turns a negative experience into a retention moment.

Integration

One integration. Every market.

01

Connect to your reservation system

QIFTS integrates via API or webhook with any airline PSS (Passenger Service System) — Amadeus, Sabre, Navitaire, or custom.

02

Configure passenger triggers

First flight, milestone, upgrade, referral, delay — set any event as a reward trigger in the QIFTS dashboard.

03

Rewards issue in local currency

Reward cards issued in the passenger's home market currency — NGN for Nigerian passengers, KES for Kenyan, ZAR for South African.

04

Passengers spend at local brands

Recipients choose from curated local brands within the reward category — spent at merchants relevant to their country.
