This article has been sponsored by Swapi

Swapi is a brand new free loyalty wallet app that helps you consolidate all your loyalty cards in one place.

It lets you link your loyalty cards from hundreds of UK-based retailers and earn points without carrying a wallet of plastic around with you.

As a special launch offer, Swapi will also reimburse you for any loyalty points which have been expired during the pandemic, giving you Swapi Points in return.

Swapi has big plans for the next few months:

• you will be able to redeem points from certain loyalty schemes directly in the Swapi app for exclusive Swapi-negotiated deals

• you will, with selected loyalty schemes, be able to swap points between programmes

This is coming down the line. For now, Swapi has three benefits, one of which is unique:

• you can add your favourite loyalty cards, both travel and retail, to the Swapi app. When you need to scan your card, such as your Nectar card in Sainsbury’s, you can pull up the barcode via the Swapi app. Over 100 loyalty accounts are supported.

• you can earn earn ‘Swapi Points’, Swapi’s own currency, by shopping with over 300 retailers via the Swapi app. You can redeem these points in the app for a gift card or discount voucher or – coming soon – swap them into another loyalty currency.

Introducing Swapi Points

As well as helping you manage your other loyalty cards, Swapi has its own rewards currency, Swapi Points. You can earn Swapi points by making purchases through the Swapi app, or by referring friends or family.

Swapi points can be redeemed for gift cards and discounts, with redemptions starting from 250 points. Here are some examples:

• 1,500 Swapi Points get you a £10 One4All gift card you can spend at 180 different brands in the UK
• 2,500 Swapi Points get you £50 off Lastminute.com city breaks
• 500 Swapi Points get you 8% off your next hotel booking with Expedia

As you can see, Swapi doesn’t just let you redeem Swapi Points for gift vouchers. You can also redeem them for exclusive discounts at leading brands. This allows you to get substantial extra value from your Swapi Points.

Coming soon, you will also be able to use loyalty points from other programmes in the Swapi app for gift cards or discount vouchers.

Swapi will reimburse your expired points and miles!

As a launch offer, Swapi has a unique offer.

Swapi is will reimburse you for any expired points and miles you have lost during the pandemic!

All you need to do to reclaim your expired points as Swapi Points is send a request with a screenshot of the expired points in the app. Based on how many points you lost, and their value, you will offered Swapi Points as compensation. These can be redeemed for retailer gift cards or discount vouchers.

This feature is likely to become more interesting as travel companies start expiring points again. Whilst most travel schemes have extended points expiry over the past 18 months, a lot of these protections are beginning to fall away.

This is especially true for brands like Accor, which have been extremely aggressive in expiring points throughout the pandemic. Swapi gives you the opportunity to reclaim some of the value you lost.

If Swapi sounds interesting, you can download it in your local App Store. It is free to register and once signed up you can have explore its features.
