Travelers will be able to buy insurance with loyalty points earned through airlines, hotels, and other travel suppliers.
DENVER, CO, January 13, 2026 – Switchfly, the travel loyalty technology platform that drives revenue, has announced a strategic partnership with global travel insurance provider battleface. The collaboration will enable travelers to redeem loyalty points for travel insurance, a first of its kind integration designed to enhance traveler peace of mind while unlocking new redemption options within loyalty programs.
Launched in the US market in Q4 2025, the partnership uses battleface’s single API architecture to seamlessly integrate global protection product carriers into Switchfly’s white label booking platform. Travelers booking through Switchfly powered programs will be able to opt into travel insurance and fund their coverage using points, cash, or a combination of both.
“We spent nearly nine months searching for a global insurance partner who could meet our technical and redemption requirements,” said Nowell Outlaw, CEO of Switchfly. “What battleface offers is rare, a single API that handles carrier integration across regions so our partners do not have to. More importantly, they enable point based funding for insurance, which has historically been a major blocker. This partnership gives our clients a powerful new way to deliver value and peace of mind to travelers.”
The partnership comes as Switchfly continues its rapid expansion into the employee rewards and recognition space, now serving an estimated 25 million HR tech and loyalty end users across its partner ecosystem. In 2025, Switchfly facilitated over 2.25 billion dollars in travel bookings, underscoring the platform’s scale, momentum, and growing impact across employee rewards and loyalty programs.
“Switchfly’s platform is built for scale, speed, and personalization, which aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify global travel protection,” said Sasha Gainullin, CEO of battleface. “Together, we are making it easier for travelers to access coverage, and for loyalty programs to offer it in a way that is frictionless and financially smart.”
Backed by the world’s largest travel inventory, Switchfly empowers partners to offer aspirational travel rewards that outperform traditional options in both appeal and profitability. This is achieved through built in packaging solutions, flexible redemption options, and AI powered personalization. The addition of travel protection, which travelers can purchase using their reward points, further strengthens Switchfly’s value proposition for loyalty programs, airlines, and HR platforms seeking to drive engagement and ancillary revenue.
