TORONTO (Jan. 26, 2010) - Points International Ltd. (TSX: PTS; OTCBB: PTSEF) has signed an agreement with Chase Card Services, the credit card division of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM).

Under terms of the multi-year agreement, Points.com’s Integrate product will be leveraged to facilitate the transfer of loyalty currencies for U.S. cardmembers between Ultimate Rewards and its loyalty program partners, as well as enable new loyalty partnerships.

"We’re excited to partner with Chase to further enhance the Ultimate Rewards program," said Points CEO Rob MacLean. “Adding such a key financial services player to our roster creates new opportunities for us and our partners.”
