Metro Manila, Philippines – Cebuana Lhuillier is elevating its widely popular 24K Rewards program by partnering with Xpress, the homegrown ride-hailing platform. This groundbreaking collaboration allows 24K cardholders to redeem their loyalty points for Xpress rides, merging practicality, innovation, and sustainability into the everyday lives of Filipinos.
How the 24K Partnership Works
The 24K Rewards card has long been a cornerstone of Cebuana Lhuillier’s customer loyalty programs, rewarding members for transactions such as remittances, pawning, and microinsurance. This partnership with Xpress now allows members to directly convert these points into ride credits, which can be used for XpressMoto motorcycles, sedans, or SUVs. Whether commuting to work or running errands, customers can now enjoy a seamless, cashless experience by simply using their rewards points.
Redeeming rides through the Xpress app is straightforward, empowering users to maximize their loyalty points. For frequent Cebuana Lhuillier customers, this means turning everyday transactions into real-world value, significantly reducing transportation costs.
Why This Partnership Stands Out
The Cebuana Lhuillier-Xpress partnership is a pioneering effort in the Philippine market. Unlike traditional rewards programs that focus on discounts or vouchers, this collaboration directly addresses a practical, everyday need: commuting. The ability to redeem points for transportation not only boosts the value of the 24K Rewards program but also provides immediate benefits to customers, particularly in urban centers where affordable and reliable transport is essential.
This collaboration also highlights Cebuana Lhuillier’s ongoing commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions. By integrating with Xpress, the 24K Rewards program moves beyond financial services, setting a new standard for how loyalty programs can adapt to modern lifestyles.
A Vision for Sustainability
Xpress complements the practicality of the 24K Rewards partnership with its commitment to sustainability. In collaboration with BYD, the platform recently piloted electric and hybrid vehicles to promote eco-friendly commuting. With a vision to expand its “Eco Fleet,” Xpress is poised to lead the shift towards greener urban transport.
By incorporating EVs into its services, Xpress not only reduces emissions but also aligns with the growing demand for environmentally conscious transportation options. This further enhances the value of the 24K Rewards program, offering customers a chance to contribute to a greener future with every ride.
What It Means for Filipino Commuters
For customers, this partnership translates into better accessibility, affordability, and convenience. For the local transportation industry, it sets a new benchmark for collaboration and innovation. Cebuana Lhuillier and Xpress are paving the way for a smarter, more connected Philippines—one ride at a time.

Metro Manila, Philippines – In a bid to foster economic empowerment and job creation, Xpress is proud to announce the significant impact of its innovative RXP (Rider Xpress Program) initiative. Designed to provide aspiring moto taxi riders with the opportunity to own their motorcycles, the RXP program is transforming lives and paving the way for financial freedom.
Creating Opportunities for Aspiring Riders
The RXP program addresses a crucial barrier for many potential riders: the inability to afford a motorcycle. By offering motorcycles on a loan basis, Xpress enables individuals to start their careers without the burden of an upfront purchase. After a year of diligent work and commitment, these riders are rewarded with full ownership of the motorcycle, marking a significant milestone towards financial independence.
Training and Development: Beyond the Ride
Xpress believes that providing a motorcycle is just the beginning. The RXP program is committed to equipping riders with essential skills and knowledge to ensure their safety and success. All RXP riders undergo comprehensive training in First Aid and Basic Life Support, empowering them to handle emergencies effectively and contribute to the safety of their passengers and the community.
Financial Literacy and Business Acumen
Understanding the importance of financial literacy, Xpress has partnered with Cebuana Lhuillier’s Ka Negosyo Center to offer RXP riders access to seminars and workshops. These sessions cover crucial topics such as budgeting, saving, and managing finances, equipping riders with the tools needed to make informed financial decisions and achieve long-term financial stability.
Testimonials from RXP Riders
The success stories of RXP riders are a testament to the program’s impact. Many have shared how the program has not only provided them with a means of income but also a sense of purpose and pride. By becoming motorcycle owners, they have taken significant steps towards achieving their dreams and securing a better future for themselves and their families. Allan Tullio, a member of the RXP program, emphasizes, “Sa Xpress mararamdaman mo binibigyan ka ng halaga. May plano sila para sayo at handa silang tumulong. Sa part palang na yon, panalo na kami!”. The RXP riders appreciate Xpress’s commitment to supporting them, fostering a strong partnership that enables earning opportunities while ensuring mutual benefit and support.
