Company mission
Miles' mission is to deliver value for every mile travelled across every mode of transportation through its travel and commute rewards application.

Our take
Rewarding shoppers for loyalty is an effective marketing strategy used by many brands, but it requires the customer to be aware of the brand in the first place. Whilst data-driven advertising can help brands find these prospective customers through welcome offers, consumers generally avoid advertisements when possible, showing room for innovation in such digital marketing strategies.
Miles provides a retail rewards platform, rewarding users with vouchers, gift cards, and other special offers for the miles that they log through any means of travel. In addition to traditional special offers, the platform also rewards users through travel challenges that gamify the platform, ultimately providing them with discounts and gift cards whilst increasing brand awareness for its partners.
Whilst retail reward programs are nothing new, Miles has taken a unique stance by rewarding its users without them having to buy anything, encouraging them to engage with the app and with its partnered brands. The company guarantees a high intent marketing service for its partners, helping them to interact with targeted users through travel, behavioural, and profile insights.
