Philippine Airlines' Mabuhay Miles has announced a momentous partnership with SM Advantage Card (SMAC) that will make traveling and shopping more rewarding.

PAL Mabuhay Miles and SMAC, two of the country's most enduring customer loyalty programs, recently launched "Shop To Fly, Fly To Shop."

Through the new lifestyle program, PAL's frequent flyers can convert their Mabuhay Miles to SMAC points. SM loyal shoppers, meanwhile, can convert their SMAC points to Mabuhay Miles.

Key executives who led the signing of the agreement include PAL President and COO Stanley Ng, PAL Senior Vice President and General Counsel Atty. Carlos Luis Fernandez, SM Food Retail Group Executive Director Herson Sy, and Digital Advantage Corporation COO Kevin Hartigan-Go.

With the "Shop To Fly, Fly To Shop" campaign, every 500 Mabuhay Miles Points can be converted to 50 SMAC Points, while every 250 SMAC points can be converted to 100 Mabuhay Miles Points.

Mabuhay Miles Points can be used to fly to any of PAL's extensive local and international destinations, while SMAC Points can be used to shop at The SM Store, SM Supermarket, Hypermarket, and Savemore.

SMAC Points can also be used at retail brands like Waltermart, Alfamart, The Body Shop, Uniqlo, Levi's SM Appliance, Our Home, Crate and Barrel, Surplus Shop, Toy Kingdom, and many more.
