Everybody knows you can earn AirAsia BIG Points on flights and staying at partner hotels, but did you know that you can earn points by shopping online, getting insured, seeing a doctor and even when you buy a car?! Then there’s also points conversion from banks, a petrol loyalty program and online trading platforms. Here, we've pulled together our top tips to earning AirAsia BIG Points in your daily life.
Tip #1 – Collect BIG Points on your DAILY spend.
Urban folks easily spend an upwards of hundreds on groceries, food and household items. Wouldn’t it be great if you could earn the same amount in points when you spend on your necessities?
Example: If you spend RM400 a month on groceries, food and household items, you could earn 4,800 BIG Points in a year. That’s the equivalent of a one-way flight ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Penang.

| Groceries from Honestbee | Household items from 11street |
| Food delivery from Pappa Delivery | Healthy snacks from Amazingraze |
Tip #2 – Collect BIG Points on your MONTHLY spend.
Staying up-to-date with fashion and beauty trends can be considered a must for some. Same goes with entertainment and other lifestyle choices. It would only make sense that since one is already going to spend a certain amount on a monthly basis for these items, earning BIG Points to lessen your travelling budget is simply a savvy move.
Example: If you spend RM600 on your monthly lifestyle activities, you could earn 7,200 BIG Points in a year. That will get you a one-way ticket from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket.

Tip #3 – Collect BIG Points on your ANNUAL spend.
These little things in life often end up as fairly large expenditures. Good budgeting allows us to spend on these lifestyle items once in a while and the bonus we get at work, almost always goes to a little pampering of yourself. In 1 year, how much do you spend on these items? And have you had to sacrifice travelling because of these hefty expenses? With BIG Points, you won’t have to anymore.
Example: If you spend an accumulative RM6500 in one year, that’s another 6,500 BIG Points that could fly you to Ho Chi Minh!
