Former Meta Employee Builds Travel Rewards Platform HeyMax in Singapore, Reaches 200,000 Members
Published
A former Meta employee has built HeyMax, a travel rewards platform that was started in Singapore in 2023. The founder spent eight years at Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, before starting the business. According to the founder's account, the platform now has about 200,000 members.
HeyMax works with more than 1,000 partners around the world. These partners include airlines, hotels, and other travel-related businesses. Members can earn travel rewards, often called miles, when they make purchases or use services with these partners. The platform has issued more than one billion miles so far, which shows how quickly its user base has grown since it was launched.
The founder's story is an example of how a Singapore-based company can grow into a large regional or global business. Singapore is a major travel hub, and many residents spend a lot of money on flights and hotels each year. For this reason, rewards programmes like HeyMax may be useful to people who travel often. Readers who are interested in travel rewards should compare the terms and conditions of each programme before they sign up.
The growth of HeyMax shows that there is continuing interest in travel rewards among people in Singapore. As more people use digital platforms to manage their travel spending, companies in this area are likely to keep developing new services. The founder's experience also shows that skills gained at large technology companies can be used to start new businesses.
