What InterMiles does
InterMiles (operated by Jet Privilege Private Limited, part of the Etihad Aviation Group) is an India-based consumer loyalty and rewards programme that consolidates multi-category everyday spending into a single digital currency. Members earn InterMiles across 200+ programme partners spanning retail (Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, Nykaa, Tata Cliq, Jio Mart, Blinkit), travel (EaseMyTrip-powered multi-airline flight and 1.5 million-property hotel booking), fuel (IndianOil), dining (Dineout, Swiggy), financial services (HDFC/ICICI co-brand cards, Eastern Bank Bangladesh, HDFC Life), Ed-Tech (Talentedge), fintech rent payments (RedGirraffe), and surveys, then redeem miles for flights, hotel stays, vouchers from 100+ brands, Save with Miles discounts of up to 50%, and complimentary tier benefits. The platform runs on a cloud-based loyalty stack delivered via web (www.intermiles.com), native iOS/Android apps, Digi Stores marketplace, and TWID-powered Shop with Miles embedded checkout, with a Dynamic Tier Review engine managing a five-tier system (Base/Red/Silver/Gold/Platinum) offering 25-75% elite bonuses on base miles.
The business model spans four principal revenue streams: direct miles purchase at INR 0.90 per mile (minimum 500, multiples of 100, plus 18% GST); co-brand credit card interchange and commercial arrangements with HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank; voucher and marketplace commission via Digi Stores and Save with Miles redemptions; and affiliate/transaction-fee revenue from EaseMyTrip-powered travel bookings and TWID partner checkouts. Distribution is fully digital-first and self-serve, supplemented by co-brand bank channels and partner co-marketing. The customer base is primarily individual consumers in India (18+), augmented by a smaller Business Rewards+ programme for corporates and Merit Rewards for employee recognition. As of the most recent disclosed data the programme serves approximately 10 million members; enrolment is restricted to India-based individuals, and the programme carries a legacy of industry recognition including Freddie Awards (2016 Program of the Year, 210 Award) and multiple Customer Fest Show awards (2018-2021).

Revenue model
- Sale of InterMiles (Miles Purchase): Members can purchase InterMiles directly at INR 0.90 per mile (plus 18% GST) with a minimum buy of 500 miles in multiples of 100. Purchased miles are non-refundable and count as Eligible InterMiles for tier evaluation. This is a primary direct revenue stream from the consumer base.
- Co-brand Credit Card Partnerships: Financial institution partners (HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank) issue co-brand credit cards where spend accrues InterMiles. InterMiles earns revenue through commercial arrangements with issuing banks, typically via interchange/commission on card spend volume.
- Voucher and Marketplace Commission (Digi Stores): Digi Stores serves as InterMiles' e-commerce marketplace for vouchers (100+ brands) and deals. Revenue is derived from transaction fees and commissions on voucher sales processed through the platform. Members redeem accumulated miles for vouchers at various denominations.
- TWID / Shop with Miles Integration Revenue: Integration with TWID (Pay with Rewards) enables earning and redemption of miles at partner checkout pages. InterMiles earns a share of transaction value through this affiliate-style integration when members earn or redeem miles on partner platforms.
- Air and Hotel Booking Platform Revenue: Travel booking platform powered by EaseMyTrip allows members to book flights across airlines and hotels worldwide. InterMiles earns commission on bookings made through the platform, with members earning and redeeming miles on completed transactions.
