Tillo Expands Canadian Brand Network with Flight Centre Canada Partnership

Travel is one of the most valued reward categories among consumers and as businesses across Canada look to offer more flexible, experience-led incentives, access to trusted travel brands has never been more important.

Tillo, the global gift card, rewards, and incentives platform, has announced a new partnership with Flight Centre Canada, giving businesses a new way to offer one of the country's most recognised travel brands and helping them deliver rewards that genuinely resonate with customers and employees alike.

What Happened: The Tillo and Flight Centre Canada Partnership

Tillo announced a strategic partnership with Flight Centre Canada, integrating Flight Centre Canada gift cards into its award-winning gift card API platform.

This integration enables businesses to offer Flight Centre Canada rewards across multiple channels. Businesses can now deploy these travel rewards through employee recognition programs, consumer incentives, cashback platforms, loyalty schemes, and digital gift card marketplaces.

Why This Matters: The Shift in How Canadians Value Travel Rewards

This partnership addresses a fundamental shift in consumer expectations around travel. Recent research commissioned by Flight Centre Canada reveals that 82% of Canadians consider vacations essential to health and wellbeing - not luxury expenses.

By integrating the Flight Centre Canada gift card through Tillo's gift card API, Canadian businesses can deliver rewards that genuinely resonate with their audiences. Travel remains consistently among the most emotionally resonant reward categories, driving higher engagement and loyalty compared to other incentive types. The partnership demonstrates how modern gift card APIs are evolving to connect premium brands with consumers at scale.

Key Benefits: Simplicity, Flexibility, and Scale

Tillo's gift card API integration delivers several concrete advantages for businesses of any size. First, it eliminates complexity - companies integrate once with Tillo's API and gain access to thousands of brands globally, including Flight Centre Canada.

Second, it enables flexibility across programs. Organizations can deploy Flight Centre Canada gift cards through employee recognition, loyalty schemes, and promotional campaigns simultaneously.

Third, it provides trust through a recognized Canadian brand with nearly three decades of market presence.

Finally, it democratizes premium rewards, allowing mid-market and small companies to offer high-value travel experiences without managing multiple vendor relationships.

Proof Points: Leadership Perspective

Katie Cannon, Chief Brand Partnerships Officer at Tillo, emphasized the strategic importance:

"We're excited to welcome Flight Centre Canada to the Tillo network. Travel is a category that consistently drives engagement, and Flight Centre is a brand that consumers know and trust. This partnership gives our partners across Canada even more choice when building reward and incentive."

"Travel continues to be one of the most meaningful and emotionally resonant reward categories for consumers. Our recent YouGov research found that 82 per cent of Canadians view vacations as a health and wellbeing essential rather than a luxury, and this partnership with Tillo helps make those experiences more accessible through loyalty and incentive programs."
