Points International Ltd., owner and operator of the world's leading loyalty reward program management website, www.Points.com, is joining the theatre community by partnering with Audience Rewards, which awards ShowPoints for Broadway ticket purchases. The relationship allows members to exchange and trade points/miles between ShowPoints and other loyalty programs, via Points.com's loyalty marketplace.

Audience Rewards is a program created to thank dedicated patrons of the performing arts for their loyalty. Members can earn ShowPoints when they buy show tickets in select cities, play theatre trivia, refer shows to friends or provide feedback. Now members can track their ShowPoints alongside their other reward programs on Points.com and trade points to and from accounts. Members can redeem ShowPoints for tickets to select shows in New York, Charlotte, Durham and Los Angeles or for show merchandise.

"As our first foray into live theatre programs, this partnership exemplifies how Points.com is continuing to grow," said Rob MacLean, CEO of Points International. "It's yet another avenue for Points.com to provide new opportunities for consumers to use points/miles in their day-to-day lives."

"Being a part of the Points.com network gives casual and avid theatre goers a great opportunity to leverage their miles and points from a broad range of rewards programs to make theatre more accessible and rewarding," said Josh Lesnick, the President and CEO of Audience Rewards. "This partnership also supports Broadway's goal of reaching new audiences across America and from around the world and rewarding their loyalty and support of the theatre."

Audience Rewards members can now track their points/mileage balances alongside travel programs, including JetBlue TrueBlue, Virgin America Elevate, American Airlines AAdvantage and many more.

Points International works in partnership with all loyalty and reward programs active on Points.com. For more information, follow us on Twitter, @pointsadvisor, on Facebook (www.points.com/facebook), or on our blog (www.blog.points.com).
