The Group’s integrated loyalty programme for its malls, The Point, has officially launched the new Instant Point Earn service across its extensive network of shopping malls in Hong Kong. With the aim of enhancing the customer shopping experience, the Instant Point Earn service offers customers an effortless way to earn points instantly when making purchases. As at 15 March 2024, over 1,700 stores across 25 major malls of the Group had signed up to provide the Instant Point Earn service. They encompass a wide range of establishments, including food and beverage groups, jewellery chains and apparel stores. During the five-month trial period, the service received an overwhelmingly positive response, with members earning over 100 million points. The Group's Executive Director Christopher Kwok said at the launch ceremony: “This year marks the 5th anniversary of The Point, which has now garnered over 2.5 million members. As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the overall shopping experience for our customers, we are excited to introduce the new Instant Point Earn service. This service not only covers the largest network of shopping malls in Hong Kong, but also offers the greatest variety of participating merchants among similar schemes in the market. With this service, customers can simply scan their member QR codes at any of the participating merchants when making electronic purchases and earn points instantly.” Mr Kwok said the Instant Point Earn service creates a “win-win-win” situation for members, merchants and shopping malls. Members can earn points instantly without the hassle of visiting the Customer Care Centre of the malls or uploading receipts on to The Point App. Merchants stand to benefit from increased sales, as members can immediately convert their earned points into Point Dollar for further purchases. Lastly, in the long run, the service is expected to boost sales revenue and foot traffic for the Group’s malls.
