Newscast 28 - Status Wars and Loyalty Tech Consolidation

from Loyalty Wired · host Loyalty Wired

Loyalty is shifting… but not in just one place. In this episode, Rob Burgess (Head for Points), Ben Lipsey (Air France-KLM) and Phil Gunter (Loyalty Status Co) explore what British Airways’ move to spend-based status means — and why competitors are already moving to take advantage. At the same time, Jan Pieter Lips (Capillary) and Tom Shapira (Wellesley Hills Financial) unpack Capillary’s acquisition of SessionM, and what it reveals about scale, valuation and the future of loyalty technology. If you run a loyalty programme, this episode matters. Sponsored by Loyalty Status Co.
