SINGAPORE/HONG KONG, CHINA. Plaza Premium Group’s (PPG) digital rewards programme, Smart Traveller, is expanding its rewards offering through a partnership with Singapore-based loyalty and travel rewards platform HeyMax, enhancing the experience for members in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Through this collaboration, members in Singapore and Hong Kong can convert Max Miles to ST Points at a 1:1 ratio, with conversions available from 1,000 Max Miles, expanding options for earning and redeeming rewards across travel and lifestyle experiences.

“By bringing Smart Traveller’s lounge and airport benefits into our ecosystem, we are delivering a unique proposition that deepens our commitment to our users. This partnership elevates the end-to-end journey – so every traveller across Hong Kong, Singapore, and beyond can travel sooner, better, and smarter.”
