Digital Drink Coupons for A-List Preferred

I led the product team in launching a digital enhancement to the A-List Preferred experience: visible drink coupons right on the digital boarding pass.

The Feature

Starting at check-in, eligible A-List Preferred customers are greeted with a special display: 2 free premium beverages on eligible trips. Just show your digital boarding pass to the flight attendant to redeem.

Part of a Bigger Picture

This launch was part of a broader set of Rapid Rewards program improvements, including:

  • Booking with Cash+Points
  • Reduced tier qualifying flight requirements
  • Reduced spend requirements for tier status

Cross-Functional Collaboration

This enhancement required coordination across:

  • Marketing and Loyalty teams
  • Customer Experience & Digital
  • Technology and Legal
  • Inflight Operations

Why It Matters

By surfacing this benefit digitally, we ensure A-List Preferred members know about and can easily use one of their perks. No paper coupons to lose, no confusion at 35,000 feet—just show your boarding pass.

A-List Preferred members now just show their digital boarding pass to receive 2 free premium beverages on eligible trips.
