Now through the introduction of PointExchange, a service that accepts points and miles from multiple programs we offer online store operators a service that will increase customer satisfaction, secure repeat business and effectively make a major contribution to business. The service can be implemented at a low cost and in a short time making it ideal for small and medium businesses.
