NEW YORK, NY (May 5, 2026) – Fareportal, a global travel technology company that operates the online travel agencies (OTAs) CheapOair and OneTravel, today announced a revamp of the ClubMiles loyalty rewards program for its flagship consumer brand, CheapOair.
The updated program reflects Fareportal’s broader strategy to invest in long-term customer value. By reimagining CheapOair’s loyalty structure from the ground up, the company is delivering greater flexibility, more transparent value, and faster access to meaningful benefits. The enhanced CheapOair ClubMiles loyalty program introduces a range of upgrades designed to make rewards easier to earn, redeem, and accelerate, including:
CheapOair’s revamped ClubMiles program introduces a new redemption capability that addresses one of the most common frustrations in OTA loyalty programs:
- Point Redemption for Flights: Members can now redeem ClubMiles points directly toward the cost of airfare (on a majority of flights) — giving members greater flexibility in applying loyalty points to flights than most major OTAs currently offer.
This addition builds on a set of existing features designed to help members earn rewards faster and reach elite status sooner:
- Double-Dip Rewards: Travelers earn CheapOair loyalty points alongside the airline miles they accrue when flying, building two rewards balances simultaneously with no tradeoff between them.
- Attainable Elite Status: Achievable qualification thresholds for Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, requiring fewer bookings than many competing platforms, putting premium benefits within reach for a broader range of members.
- Accelerated App Earnings: Members who book through the CheapOair mobile app can earn up to double the points they would receive booking on the desktop site, accelerating the path to meaningful rewards.
The revamp also brings existing CheapOair traveler services formally into the loyalty framework:
- Automated Check-In, Internet Calling, Priority Support, and Flight Disruption Assistance: Automated check-in and free Internet calling (both available exclusively in the app). Also, priority customer support, and flight disruption assistance are now structured membership benefits, giving ClubMiles members consistent access to these services.
“The ClubMiles program update started with a simple question: how can we deliver more meaningful value to our travelers at every step of their journey,” said Manish Sharma, SVP, Finance and Fintech Products at Fareportal. “We rebuilt the program to remove friction, eliminate redemption limitations, and make it easier for customers to access and enjoy real benefits, faster. We’re creating a loyalty experience that is more transparent, flexible, and truly rewarding for the customer.”
