Perx’s partnership with American express will enable cardholders earn more rewards on the mobile loyalty app in addition to existing card benefits.
Perx, a Singapore based mobile loyalty app has just announced their new partnership with American Express, an American multinational financial services corporation to offer instant rewards on mobile.
The exclusive partnership is extended to all cardmembers who have a consumer credit or charge card issued in Singapore, by American Express, or an American Express-branded card issued by network partners DBS Bank Limited and United Overseas Bank Limited (“American Express Cardmembers”).
Through this partnership, Perx enables American Express Cardmembers to earn more rewards in addition to existing card benefits.
Launched in 2011, the Perx mobile application transformed traditional merchant loyalty programmes by offering digital chops, or “stamps” for purchases at selected merchant locations in Singapore. Upon downloading Perx to their smart phones, users can earn digital chops for their purchase simply by scanning a QR code at the point of purchase. Accumulative chops can be used to unlock rewards.
Currently, Perx is featured at over 700 locations throughout Singapore.
With this partnership, American Express Cardmembers who link their American Express Card to a Perx account can earn chops automatically after each transaction that is made with their linked American Express Card – all without the need to scan QR codes. Once the required number of chops is accumulated, American Express Cardmembers can redeem instant rewards which include free items and discounts from stores.
“Singapore consumers are increasingly mobile savvy. We are delighted to present this new programme to all American Express Consumer Cardmembers, which will offer them a convenient way to earn, redeem and enjoy instant rewards in Singapore. This innovation will also bring more loyal customers to our participating merchant partners, and enhance the value we provide to them,” said Ms Yoshimi Nakajima, Singapore Country Manager for American Express.
With aggressive plans to expand in the region, Andrew Roth, President and Cofounder of Perx Singapore said, “Our goal is to combine the strength of the Perx mobile platform with the American Express network of merchants and Cardmembers. With this partnership, Perx can extend its service to merchants throughout Asia Pacific on the American Express network, and support American Express in engaging its Cardmembers in the mobile space. By integrating with American Express’ payment network, Perx members holding an American Express Card will now enjoy benefits and rewards by linking their American Express Card to Perx. We are excited to work with American Express to better serve our merchants and customers.”

Celebrating the Launch with Rewards
To celebrate the launch of this exclusive partnership, American Express Cardmembers who link an American Express Card to a Perx account before 30 September 2013, will stand a chance to win a return trip for two to Macau (return economy air tickets between Singapore and Hong Kong, round-trip ferry between Hong Kong and Macau included), with a two-nights stay at a suite at the Conrad® Macao, Cotai Central. In addition, when American Express Cardmembers first open the Perx mobile application after linking their card, they will get a digital scratch card and stand to win prizes such as free coffee, popcorn and more.
In the coming weeks, American Express Cardmembers can also earn chops by spending with their linked American Express Card at any American Express merchants in Singapore to redeem for exclusive rewards. For a start, from now till 11 August 2013, the first 200 American Express Cardmembers who accumulate five digital chops in their Perx account will receive a complimentary packet of popcorn from Garrett Popcorn Shops®
Perx has been actively partnering with key industry players to expand their reach. October last year, the company announced that they are working with SingTel, where Perx will integrate its platform with SingTel’s digital services. Earlier in April, Perx entered into another partnership with foodpanda delivery and takeout app.
