Gateway turns every financial institution partner into a new distribution channel for your program. When a bank or fintech cardholder searches for the best way to use their points, Gateway surfaces your program — your inventory, your routes, your value — at the exact moment they’re ready to book. 34% of users who redeem through point.me enroll in a new loyalty program at $0 customer acquisition cost. These are high-intent travelers who would never have found your program through traditional marketing channels. ### What does Gateway cost loyalty programs to integrate? There is no cost to integrate and no cost to maintain. Gateway plugs into your existing API, or our engineering team co-builds with yours. The integration is designed to be lightweight: you provide API access to your award inventory, an engineering point of contact, an executive sponsor, and your data governance framework. Gateway handles the consumer-facing infrastructure, booking engine, and settlement. Most integrations go live in under 60 days. ### How does Gateway drive incremental transfer volume into our program? 80% of points-earning cardholders have never transferred a single point — not because they don’t want to, but because no one has shown them why your program is the best destination for those points. Gateway surfaces your program inside financial institution apps at the moment cardholders are deciding where to redeem. Every FI that launches Gateway becomes a new storefront for your inventory and currency offers. Partners are seeing a 20% lift in redemptions, and the volume scales with every new FI partner added to the platform. ### Can we control which programs surfaces to which cardholders? Yes. Gateway gives loyalty programs levers to control inventory distribution at the cohort level. You can surface specific routes, pricing, and availability to targeted cardholder segments — whether that’s pushing last-minute award seats, underperforming routes, or premium cabin inventory to high-intent travelers. This means fewer empty award seats and better utilization of inventory you’re already making available, without the LP needing to build or manage any of the consumer-facing distribution infrastructure. ### How does Gateway protect our brand and competitive position? Gateway surfaces your program with full brand fidelity, your inventory, your routes, your value proposition. Your program appears when it offers the best value for a given route, which means you win on merit with high-intent travelers. Data governance is strict: we’re SOC2 certified, your inventory data is used solely to surface your program to cardholders, and we do not share competitive intelligence from your program with other loyalty programs. You provide the data governance framework; we operate within it. ### What competitive intelligence does Gateway provide to loyalty programs? Gateway tracks six core metrics from day one: incremental transfers (new programs are easily tracked since baseline is zero), incremental downstream bookings attributed to Gateway discovery, new member enrollments (34% benchmark), lead time from sign-up to first redemption, ancillary revenue and co-brand cross-sell uptake, and lifetime value of Gateway-acquired members versus other channels. FI partners provide tracking data, Gateway provides reporting, and your team tracks downstream bookings and ancillary revenue. Attribution is measurable from launch.
