Partners with SriLankan Airlines and other airline partners to offer conversion of Max Loyalty Rewards points into frequent flyer miles
Enables transformation of everyday spend into compelling new travel value for cardholders
Reinforcing its commitment to delivering premium lifestyle value and rewarding experiences to its customers, the Commercial Bank of Ceylon has unveiled a significant enhancement to its Max Loyalty Rewards platform, enabling its cardholders to convert reward points into airline miles through a strategic integration with the national carrier’s ‘FlySmiLes’ programme and the frequent flyer programmes of other airlines.
Effective immediately, holders of Commercial Bank Premium and Platinum credit cards and Elite debit cards can seamlessly convert their accumulated Max Loyalty Rewards Points into FlySmiLes miles, unlocking faster access to flights and travel privileges with SriLankan Airlines.
The upgrade also encompasses other international frequent flyer programmes, broadening the global travel options available to eligible cardholders by extending the reach of the platform across multiple international travel networks, the Bank said.
The move represents a decisive step in elevating the everyday utility of credit and debit card spend, allowing routine transactions to translate directly into meaningful travel rewards. With SriLankan Airlines expected to be the preferred choice for the majority of customers, the partnership with the national carrier anchors the proposition, offering both familiarity and tangible value in the conversion of points to miles.
To mark the launch, Commercial Bank is offering a highly competitive promotional conversion rate of six Max Loyalty Rewards Points to one FlySmiLes mile, valid through 31st December 2026. The Bank said this market-leading rate significantly accelerates the journey from daily spend to international travel, enhancing the appeal of the Bank’s card portfolio.
Commenting on this latest development, Mr Hasrath Munasinghe, Chief Operating Officer of Commercial Bank, said the enhancement reflects the Bank’s continued focus on delivering differentiated value to its customers. “Max Loyalty Rewards points are among the most valuable benefits offered to our cardholders, turning everyday spending into rewarding experiences,” he said. “Commercial Bank is also the first and only Bank to offer Max Loyalty Rewards points to both credit and debit cardholders, extending these benefits beyond credit cards. By partnering with SriLankan Airlines and other global carriers, we have significantly strengthened the Max Loyalty Rewards platform. Our cardholders can now think beyond conventional rewards and convert their everyday spending into memorable travel experiences. This is about enabling them to go further, more often, with greater ease.”
The airline miles conversion feature is available at no additional cost to eligible cardholders, with no enrolment or processing fees. Access is fully integrated into the existing Max Loyalty Rewards platform, allowing users to log in with their current credentials, view balances, and convert points instantly alongside standard merchant redemptions.
This latest enhancement further strengthens Commercial Bank’s position as a leader in customer-centric banking and cardholder value creation, combining everyday financial activity with enhanced lifestyle and travel benefits. By expanding the utility of Max Loyalty Rewards through digital access, debit and credit card inclusivity, and a strategic partnership with the national carrier, the Bank continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering meaningful, convenient and future-ready solutions to its customers.
Commercial Bank credit and debit cards support a wide range of year-round promotions across Sri Lanka, providing cardholders with regular opportunities to enjoy exclusive savings and privileges across retail, dining, lifestyle and travel sectors. The Bank continues to strengthen its merchant partnerships and expand the scope of its promotional programmes, ensuring that customers receive tangible value and rewarding experiences throughout the year.
